“…He emphasises that postcoloniality inherently sidesteps the current crisis of global capitalism and postcolonial intellectuals are complicit in this occlusion as they are not its victims, but rather its beneficiaries (Dirlik, 1994).…”

This paper critically explores decolonial theory and its relevance for tourism studies. We suggest that while postcolonial and related critical theoretical perspectives furthered understandings of the consequences of colonisation, such critical theorising has not provided an epistemological perspective of tourism which legitimises the cosmologies of, and actively empowers, traditionally marginalised groupings. We review published tourism research which adopts critical and postcolonial perspectives, and argue that while these have been valuable in terms of exposing the existence and effects of dominant discourses and practices in tourism, their emancipatory objectives are limited because tourism knowledge is still predominantly colonial. Epistemological decolonisation is thus presented as a more radical project which can provide an 'other' way of thinking, being and knowing about tourism.

“…Chavistas and the opposition not only represent differing ideologies on the redistribution of wealth and state intervention in the economy; the two groups also hold opposing views on the role of Venezuela and Latin America vis-à-vis global capitalism. It is therefore reasonable to suggest that the construction of difference in foreign news discourse not only follows Western cultural norms but is also imbued with the legitimation of western political and economic structures, in turn exposing the limitations of theoretical perspectives that do not complement the West-Other dichotomy in the context of global capitalism (Dirlik 1997;Lazarus 2011). Because difference-making, according to Eurocentric logics, is visible in newspaper media generated from several geopolitical contexts, this study suggests that Eurocentrism works as an overarching framework that guides the discursive construction of difference in foreign news discourse, both in Western and nonWestern elite newspapers.…”

“…By associating Islam with irrationality, violence, and even terrorism, the media in turn others and delegitimizes Muslims. However, the Saidian perspective can be criticized for focusing too heavily on culture, which risks simplifying (post)colonial relations and neglecting class hierarchies and interests within 'othered' groups while failing to situate colonialism within the history of capitalism (see Dirlik 1997;Lazarus 2011).…”

This study aims to explore the construction of difference in foreign news discourse on culturally similar but politically different non-Western subjects. Applying critical discourse analysis (CDA) together with a critique of Eurocentrism, the study examines difference in newspaper constructions of government supporters and oppositional groups in Venezuela. Discursive differences are evident in the strategies used for constructing the two groups with regard to political rationality and violence. Government supporters are associated with social justice, Venezuela’s poor, dogmatic behavior, and the use of political violence. The opposition, in contrast, is constructed as following a Western democratic rationale that stresses anti-authoritarianism. This group is primarily associated with victims of violence. While the opposition is conveyed as being compatible with Eurocentric values and practices, government supporters to great extent deviate from these norms. Such constructions serve to legitimize politico-ideological undercurrents of Eurocentrism, as the defense of liberalism.

“…Em outras palavras, o cânone da crítica ou razão pós-colonial desenvolveu-se dentro dos constrangimentos da modernidade eurocêntrica que pretendia confrontar, reproduzindo a dinâmica global da dependência acadêmica e despolitizando o debate (Shoat, 1992;Dirlik, 1994;Ahmad, 2002). O principal lugar de enunciação e de elaboração teórica do pós-colonialismo foi o norte global, ainda que alimentado e inspirado pelas dramáticas experiências do sul.…”

O s termos "colonialismo" e "imperialismo" foram cunhados na transição do século XIX para o XX e tornaram-se indispensáveis para o entendimento das diferentes dinâmicas de expansão do capitalismo moderno no interior do sistema interestatal. Ao longo do século XX, uma vasta literatura sobre imperialismo foi desenvolvida por diferentes correntes, destacadamente no domínio do marxismo. Desde aí, as palavras império e imperialismo foram negativadas tanto pela críti-ca teórica marxista, quanto pela luta concreta de movimentos sociais e políticos, vinculando-as às formas de exploração, dominação e violên-cia econômica internacional.Ainda que uma teoria do imperialismo não possa ser encontrada em Marx e Engels, a colonização a partir da "América" foi posta como marco importante para a acumulação primitiva do capital (Marx, 2013:821)
