Der Begriff des Nachexils ist in den letzten Jahren im Kontext unterschiedlicher Literaturen zu einem wichtigen analytischen Begriff avanciert. Scheint er zunächst mit dem Begriff der Postmigration weitgehend identisch und mit der Diaspora eng verwandt, so enthält er jedoch eine Reihe zentraler Implikationen, die ihn von beiden Konzepten prinzipiell unterscheiden und die entsprechend für das Verständnis des Nachexils wesentlich sind.Der Band setzt sich zum Ziel, die Facetten der kulturellen Verarbeitung nachexilischer Erfahrungen in unterschiedlichen sprachlichen, geographischen und historischen Kontexten herauszuarbeiten. Mögliche Themen beinhalten das Spannungsfeld von Exil, Nachexil und Diaspora; autobiographische Deutungen des Exils aus der Erfahrung des Nachexils; vergleichende Lektüren fiktionaler Verarbeitungen nachexilischer Erfahrungen; neue Perspektiven auf Begriff und Verständnis des Nachexils durch den neueren Postmigrationsdiskurs.

Bhikhu Parekh As creative and reflective agents, human beings seek meaning in their lives, and develop more or less coherent views of the world or cultures in terms of which to organize their personal and collective lives. When different groups of individuals within the same society subscribe to different ways of thought, they face the crucial question of how to deal with their cultural diversity and sustain a shared common life. Premodern societies took a relatively relaxed view of diversity and generally opted for a looser union. Modernity brought with it a very different approach to the subject. This is reflected in, among other things, the institution of the modern state, especially the liberal democracy which represents one way of constituting it. Liberal democracy has exercised a decisive influence on our political and moral imagination for the past three centuries. Unlike premodern societies which took the community as their starting point and defined the individual in terms of it, it takes the individual as the ultimate and irreducible unit of, and thus conc- tually and ontologically prior to society. The latter is taken to consist of in- viduals, and refers to the totality of its members and their formal and informal relationships. Individual are the sole and equal sources of moral claims, and social and political institutions are judged in terms of their ability to safeguard and promote individual interests.

Ideology in Postcolonial Texts and Contexts reflects that critiques of ideological formations occur within intersecting social, political, and cultural configurations where each position is in itself ‘ideological’ – and subject to asymmetrical power relations. Postcolonialism has become an object of critique as ideology, but postcolonial studies’ highly diversified engagement with ideology remains a strong focus that exceeds Ideologiekritik. Fourteen contributors from North America, Africa, and Europe focus (I) on the complex relation between postcolonialism, postcolonial theory, and conceptualizations of ideology, (II) on ideological formations that manifest themselves in very specific postcolonial contexts, highlighting the potential continuities between colonial and postcolonial ideology, and (III) on further expanding and complicating the nexus of postcolonial ideology, from veiling as both ideological practice and individual resistance to home as ideological construct; from palimpsestic readings of colonial photography to aesthetics as ideology.
