ABSTRACT

At the same time, however, precisely because of the ways in which the end of colonialism came about, postcolonialism denotes a situation in which the ‘metaborder’ between metropolis and colonies [between citizens and not-yet-full-citizens, YJ] no longer organizes any stable world cartography but the possibility is given that it reproduces itself, in a rather fragmented way, within the territory of the former metropolises themselves (Mezzadra 2006: 35).
