Postcolonial Concepts: Colonial Discourse
This video first provides a brief introduction to Foucault's theorization of discourse and then explains Edward Said's usage of it in "Orientalism'."
Part of the video is also about Colonial Discourse analysis and suggests the best way to conduct such analysis.

A man of your caliber could've kept your genius to yourself but you chose to educate us all around the world for free. I have ADHD so sometimes there is a risk of me not understanding based on how something is explained, especially with my ever-waning attention span but how you explained it was perfect and EXACTLY what I am looking for. Thank you for sharing this. You saved me a lot of Googling

[@masoodraja]

Thank you so much. You are very welcome.

[@MimiMangetsu]

I too have ADHD and sometimes it's hard to just study from one written source, that is why videos like this help so much!

[@YogeshKrNegi]

Your discussions are like, as I thought "I hardly get sufficient idea of these things in these few years but then eventually I found Prof Masood Raja". Thanks sir. Lots of love and peace to you.

[@masoodraja]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Welcome!!

The way i learnt more here than i did my entire time in my uni topic thank u for this

[@masoodraja]

Thank you for your kind words. You are welcome. Please explore other videos as well.

[@tide4081]

@@masoodraja You're so welcome! Will do... i am doing an assignment using the concepts post-colonialism and colonial discourse in regards to Australia and aboriginal treatment .... is colonial discourse very different to orientalism in your opinion?

[@masoodraja]

In my opinion orientalism is a form of colonial discourse, as it creates the image of native people according to the discourse produced by colonizers and in your case settler colonizers. For your research, you might also want to look up settler colonialism. I have not done a video on it, but I will try to record one soon. Good luck with your project.

[@poojas2215]

Thank you so much sir could you please explain about Gramsci Hegemony theory and how it was influenced on Edward said

[@masoodraja]

Thank you. I am not sure about Gramsci’s influence on Saeed’s larger work. He does use Gramsci to explain the need for creating a “catalogue of history”. You can find that on KZbin if you do a search for Orientalism. There is a video based on Said’s interview about orientalist. For Hegemony please watch my this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKK7nGyOfLOimc0

Dear Dr. What you think about the USA dimocray in this period?

[@masoodraja]

My opinion of US is clearly stated in many of my videos. Please explore the channel.

[@trainingaccount7528]

Brilliant..... Thank you very much!

[@loveliterature1]

Good

[@masoodraja]

Thanks

[@ancientmonotheism5118]

Very enlightening. Thank You. Mr Raja, how much time do you spend on reading on daily basis?

[@masoodraja]

Thank you. It depends: I am always reading either for my classes or for my research projects. I would say at least a couple of hours of personal reading at least.

[@priyankaravi5495]

Can it be applied to contemporary South Asian Fiction. In a sense, like focussing only on how these counties either resist or become part of larger colonial power or in orther words still under the colonial power and the like.

[@masoodraja]

Yes, certainly. You can argue that the legacies or influence of colonial discourse is still operative.

[@priyankaravi5495]

Ok Sir. Thank you so much.

[@sunbalkhan1695]

Thank you so much sir please upload this topic in urdu please

[@masoodraja]

Thank you. I am sorry but that is on my long list, as not many people from Pakistan interact with my Urdu videos. I will try sometime in the future but it will also depend on the level of interest in my work from Pakistan. At this point, less than 10 percent of my viewers come from Pakistan.

[@sunbalkhan1695]

What is colonial border discourse??

[@masoodraja]

I have no idea. But if you understand what a border is and what a discourse is then you can very easily figure it out.

[@priyankaravi5495]

Sir. Good lecture. Respect form 🇮🇳. I have a question. Would like to ask through a message instead.

[@masoodraja]

Thank you. Please email me your query. My email is listed on the About page of the channel.

[@abebebiru2177]

could you tell me the name of the presenter?

[@masoodraja]

Thank you. Could you point out the time (minutes etc) where I mention it. That would make it easier for me to understand your question.

[@lucky-pd5db]

Pls describe it in Urdu also thanks

[@masoodraja]

Thanks. Sorry, it takes me while to come up with explanations in Urdu. I might do that if I have time in the future.
