The Way To The Decolonization Of Mind And Text

Authors : Chaami Amine .

Abstract

This article sets out to demonstrate and propose alternative ways to access and assess the Eastern heritage. It is for the construction of a complementary and reciprocal relationship of mutual respect and understanding between the West and the the East that question the essence of western logic of supremacy. It is by inserting alternative voices and stories, rather than reinforcing official culture that insists on fixed or hierarchical forms and adheres to strict boundaries between the west and the Rest. Therefore, It is an effort to move beyond the familiar and universal, to step outside the arena of modern times, to ignore western modes of telling and narrating , and to be out of the frames of western logic of supremacy. It is only by recalling the previously silenced (hi)story, restores outdated (hi)story and reintegrates (hi)story that was once considered unofficial, silenced, forgotten or misunderstood.
