The author presents a post-colonial analysis of issues emanating from Iraq to illustrate the inadequacy of analysis within postcolonial perspectives in the case of the attack on Iraq, & the inadequacy of a postcolonial analysis that is exclusive of the contemporary practices of neo-colonialism. The dimensions of the attack on Iraq, the intensification of capitalist abstractions by neo-liberalism, & American empire are discussed in reference to modernities, late stage capitalism, cultural & economic imperialism on the war culture that has become Iraq. In conclusion, the author argues that post colonial scholarship is required to fully explain the enabling role of the terrorist attacks on the US, & the role of Iraq for American empire building.

SUMMARY:
Стэфен Велыченко анализирует основные идеи и методологические положения постколониализма, и прежде всего – постколониальное литературоведение, которое претендует на роль социальной теории. Терминологию этого влиятельного направления, а также методологию литературоведческой критики он называет сомнительной и неточной. Велыченко настаивает, что нет никаких оснований для изучения истории украинской политической и экономической зависимости с позиций постколониальной теории. Хотя формально Украина может быть сопоставлена со странами "третьего мира", т.е. с бывшими колониями, гораздо больше оснований сравнивать ее с такими некогда зависимыми европейскими странами, как Ирландия и Греция. Любое государство на том или ином этапе своей истории было зависимым, что совершенно не предполагает применения постколониального метода анализа и интерпретации прошлого этих стран. Данные тезисы Велыченко развивает применительно к Украине и постсоветскому пространству в целом.

Postcolonial theory looks at history, and it links to culture, sociology, psychology, and even politics and law. This study aims to analyze Aphra Behn Oroonoko with respect to post-colonialism, in particular, investigation of the extent colonialism, slavery, and being other. Oroonoko displays literary fiction and reality at the same time; thus, Immanuel Kant's concepts of the noumenal world and phenomenal world have significant meaning. It draws on these theories and worlds: while the phenomenal world is day-to-day life conditions, the noumenal world is impossible to experience. On the other hand, Tzvetan Todorov's perspectives on stories and novels are different, and he puts them in scales such as fantastic, uncanny and marvelous. For Oroonoko, readers can decide the scales only if they are willing to understand Todorov's aims. The aim of this study is to examine Kant's concepts of the noumenal world and the phenomenal world, and Todorov's scales, as well as colonialism, slavery and being other.

This article deals with a differentiation of the historical phases of African trajectories in the global context from independence to the present day in order to overcome colonialism and global capitalism. It explains how to understand the historical trajectories from post-colonialism to unilateralism, multilateralism, and finally, the potential of polylateralism. It focuses on the problems and tendencies of advancement in Africa, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa, in order to indicate a potential model for the social, political, economic, and cultural arrangement of relations for the recognition of people in Africa in global interactions.
