Abstract
My thesis looks at graphic design as a platform for coding and decoding core arguments in post-colonial studies. I choose to focus on this field of study because my interest lies in understanding cultural and literary production in the global south as well as both the current political culture and the political evolution of former colonies in the East. A key approach was to apply design methodologies in understanding what post-colonial scholarship has to say about the culture, social framework, and political and historical evolution of the global south. Through a collection of visual studies I seek to profile complex critical positions by applying experimental design methodologies that connect the field of design to broader social and political arenas. I am especially interested in figuring out how design methods can help in working out complex theoretical positions.
