Culturology and Postcolonial Studies Article 2
E. Said's Postcolonialism is essentially realistic, but this realism is contradictory, and these contradictions are the consequences of the inconsistency of Said historicism. The non-systematized attacks against Eastern non-Christians are not the same as the modern holistic systematic knowledge about the East. Non-understanding this is a mistake of an unhistorical approach. All these are the consequences of the primary epistemological choice, the attitude towards constructivism. But it was the transition to a constructivist foundation that predetermined the success of Said's concept and its role as an almost sacred canon, it formed the foundation of a new science, "Postcolonial Research". And then postcolonialism itself became a canon, a sacred model, the model based on which the systemic unity of modern humanitarian knowledge was constructed. Feminism was the first to follow the same path along the same road map in the 1990s. It was after the victory of post-feminism that the systemic institutional template set by postcolonialism became a canon. The roadmap of transformations passed by postcolonialism and postfeminism has become a mandatory model. Fixation of the transformation model as a canon led to the start of a landslide process of the emergence of new disciplines of the circle of "Cultural Sciences". To assess the prospects of Culturology, it is important that cultural studies should be the disciplinary center of the sciences of culture as a systemic unity. For realistic culturology, the victory of Postcolonialism and Cultural Studies turned into increased pressure. Understanding history of Postcolonialism and its realistic origins makes it possible to determine the direction of one's own movement more clearly. Today we need answers to the latest challenges, we need a theory of realistic Culturology
