Sažetak
The papaer reflects on the space of a fruitful intersection between feminist and postcolonial theory, where both of them advocate the empowerment of testimonial voices of the victimized, oppressed, marginalized or only “ translated” postcolonial subjects. Regardless of the risks of de-contextualization, commodification and misplaced meanings, personal (women’ s) history becomes for her the key means of undermining the hegemonic power and destabilization of its logocentric order simply because "the personal narrative as risk itself puts at risk the whole matrix of narrative(s) with various unpredictable effects and consequences".
