Catachresis: Postcolonial Theory concepts | Postcolonialism

Postcolonial Concepts: Catachresis In postcolonial theory, according to Bill Ashcroft and others, catachresis “is the process by which the colonized take and reinscribe something that exists traditionally as a feature of imperial culture, such as parliamentary democracy” (34) and either render it or transform it in relation to their own culture or politics. In other words, retrieving or articulating native histories of practices or concepts considered purely European, performs a productive catachresis and enables the colonized natives to imagine and articulate resitent modes of politics.
