In this episode, hosted on the Xicana Tiahui podcast platform, the Sandovalian Semillero Collective delves into Chapter 1 of Methodology of the Oppressed, ‘where they critically examine Frederic Jameson’s perspective on postmodernism as a neo-colonizing force. Sandoval argues that Jameson's pessimism stems from his inability to recognize the subjectivity of colonized and oppressed groups. She proposes a "differential cognitive mapping" that allows for a mobile, flexible oppositional consciousness. The collective also discusses the relevance of postmodernism today and the role of social media in reflecting and perpetuating these conditions.
