Abstract

The perspective of contemporaneity is a highly dilemmmatic ideological space which needs to be analyzed and re-thought within the indigenous premisees of thought. If we delve into the roots of ‘now’ ness we find that that we are defined by a past whicch is mostly girdled by the colonial shadows which continues to invade every segments of humman civilization. The biggest dispute of contemporaneity which interrupts the current format of ddiscourse is that the modernity we interpret is the simulated version of coloniality or a form of modeernity which still continues to be defined by colonial aesthetics. The ideographical illustrations of the colonizers needs to be succinctly interpreted so that the process of decolonization couuld be initiated as a logical, constructive nomothetic method de-linked from every form of physicaal and metaphysical colonial establishments.
