Anyone can help my text? It will be very helpful to me! Post-colonialism/globalization/power Why did I come to Germany to learn art? Why did older generations of Korean come to Germany to study and bring knowledge back to their home country? And still me? My Cameroonian friend dreams of raising pigs in a mass production method in Cameroon. He wants to learn to use mass production in Germany. Then he tells me that he can become rich in Africa if he bring this knowledge to Africa. I sympathize with the story. I think knowledge and power are concentrated here in the West. It is an irreversible historical fact that such globalization has developed into Western-centralism. Even the way of writing a thesis, the way of enacting laws, all of these have adopted by Western-centered theories, and Asian and African countries used this way, reinterpreted the concept differently. Why is the voice about pollution and animal rights stronger in the West? But why are this theme not yet so far in African and Asian countries? Maybe because development is still more important to some countries. After talking about this in Ute Seminar, some of the students was misunderstood that I criticized Vegetarianism and attacked Vegetarianism. Would it be meaningful to counter it and act differently in this respect (with the Western ones already being adopted and localized for a long time)? Especially in art.
