Investigation of dilemmas in post-colonial literature
Keywords:
intellectuals, labour processAbstract
In this essay, we will look at how post-colonial discussions have shifted the conversation away from the traditional sociology of knowledge. To demonstrate how normativity of social practice builds reality over historical time, the authors suggest an approach that “views knowledge not as an abstract social creation but as the outcome of particular types of social labor. Knowledge workers and their work process, knowledge institutions like as workplaces and communication networks, economic strategies, and the resourcing of knowledge work and workforces are all the subjects of study in three southern-tier nations. This study demonstrates explicitly how the global metropole's predominance in several fields of study is hotly disputed”. It demonstrates the significance of global change dynamics for knowledge workers and discloses modes of negotiation that modify knowledge creation.
