Abstract

This text explores the central arguments of three theoretical perspectives that have analyzed the Englightenrnent project from a critical angle, wiih the goal of identifying their respective contributions to visualizing marginality in social theory. A series of elements are discussed, including the postmodern critique of concepts such as reason and subject; postcolonialism's attempt to ground historical interpretation in silenced, hybrid spaces; and feminist insistence upon the erasure of homogenizing, binary categories.

Keywords: postmodernism, postcolonialism, feminism, modernity, reason, subject, metanarrativesl hybridity, agency, binary categories
