| Περίληψη: | The article scrutinizes the basic theoretical positions assumed by the self-proclaimed 'post-Marxist' generation. It particularly focuses upon professor José Rabasa, whose work, ambitious in scope and forcefully argued, has assumed something of a paradigmatic status within the domain of Hispanic colonial studies. Rabasa's conceptual challenge on board and further scrutiny of its textual ambiguities reveals that the colonialist is not denying the existence of an external world or, presumably, the capacity to refer to it, but is simply confessing to being less interested in this existence than in the world of discourse. Counteract any bias towards irrealism, Rabasa states that it would be erroneous, however, to think that the people involved in colonial enterprises lacked the resolve to verify what a philosophical realist would call the brute physical facts and were content with ideological, willful claims to the territories. True, it is not altogether clear whether Rabasa himself is equally attached to the belief in brute physical facts, but the implication at least is that he is no idealist. |
