Abstract

One of the main projects of postcolonial critique has been the recovery of losing or forgotten identity surpassed by colonial power. Postcolonial discourses urge to rescue the colonialized subjects from the trap of colonialized identity. The belief of racial defect lived out by the colonized subjects, for instance, is one of the colonial products  accomplished during the time of colonialism.  Therefore, deconstruction of colonized identity needs to be done in order to bring the colonized subjects to live in their own history. This postcolonial project should become one of theological agendas today that helps individuals to live confidently in post-colonial time. The urgency of Postcolonial Theology is inevitable especially when we realize that our world is recolonizing, taking in a new way: neocolonialism. Key Words:*Alienation *Boundary *Deconstruction *Home *Hybridity*Imperialism *Inferior *Colonialism *Neocolonialism *Postcolonialism *Subaltern.

Abstract

In the information-saturated culture today identity of the self is getting blurred and pulverized. The situation is disorienting and calling into question the concept of ‘identity’, ‘selfhood’, ‘subject’ or ‘authenticity’. Despite various kinds of method of ‘self-mastery’, the self remains elusive, even more than ever before. This article discusses the problem of ‘self’, not in terms of its ‘essence’, but rather in terms of what s/he does in the practice of the self. Identity is something constructed by the act of searching for meaning. Through ‘moral imagination’, the search for meaning becomes moral responses toward events of humanity. Self is the subject of history that actualizes him/herself through the history of humanity.
