| Sumario: | Colonialism produced, in sociocultural terms, asymmetrical power relations between metropolises and colonies: those dominated were attributed a position of otherness that condemned them to a panorama of exponential inequality with respect to the colonizers. From a theoretical support (Ranciére 2014) and incorporating reflections and contributions from different interviews, this work tries to rethink and subvert those stigmatizing categories, disciplines and discourses. It aims at disarming the colonial story through the view of the Antillean writer J. Kincaid in her essay “On seeing England for the First Time” (1991), where she seeks to discard the prevailing colonial imprint in the Caribbean to build a counter-hegemonic discourse, thus participating in contemporary identity politics. |
