DESCRIPTION:It is a pleasure to invite you to “Colonial Legacies Revisited 
 in the Digital Era” organized by the\n	graduate students of the Department 
 of Languages\, Literatures\, and Cultures at 51�Թ���\,\n	Montreal
 \, Canada.\n	In the digital era\, with the rise of social media\, the outco
 mes of an unprecedented pandemic\, a rise in\n	surveillance capitalism\, an
 d in some cases\, rediscovering the (re)signification and even complete\n	e
 limination of colonial symbols through historical and cultural revisionism
 \, recent academic\n	discussions have featured the decolonized approach. Po
 stcolonial theories have expanded and\n	contributed to the visibility of hi
 storically oppressed communities\, but much work remains in literary\n	and 
 cultural studies. The rise of political movements has renewed interest in 
 the ideas of post- and\n	decolonial theorists such as Albert Memmi\, Jacque
 s Derrida\, Gayatri Spivak\, Edward W. Said\, Homi\n	K. Bhabba\, Maryse Con
 dé\, and Walter Mignolo.\n	As a department committed to the tenants of Equi
 ty\, Diversity\, and Inclusion (EDI)\, we are\n	committed to engage with th
 ese complex and critical issues in a meaningful way\, and welcome diverse
 \n	perspectives and approaches\, including those from Indigenous and Black 
 communities. Through our\n	commitment to this work\, we aim to deepen our u
 nderstanding and contribute to ongoing efforts\n	towards decolonization. Th
 erefore\, what sets of parameters enable decolonization in our current\n	so
 ciety and how does it confront colonial legacies in today’s digital age?\n
