epochality

It is in part this epochality that leads to Jeyifo's proleptic postcolonialism. However this was in no small part because the epochality of the nation took shape under the aegis of a decolonization process that then succeeded in elevating the struggles and sacrifices of political elites against colonialism to the level of an ontological necessity and thereby projected them as the privileged subjects of representation.

And I explore the question of, and the conditions for, an exceptional contemporary epochality, whose exceptional difficulty is what I have characterized elsewhere as the epochal double re-doubled.
