I really don’t know enough to speak of it authoritatively. (I’ve had no training in the area and have picked up all my knowledge as an autodidact; I cannot purport to explain the field as it is practiced by the knowledgeable. I’m trying to level up in it and am becoming quite the non-fan of Derrida in the process …) I wrote a bit here, see “p.s.” points at the end.
(This week’s all-but-idle progress on “Bayesian postmodernism” is correctly sorting other uses of the word “theory”. My current tentative notion is that quite a lot of “theory” as used in critical theory is actually more in the form of how-tos. How would you falsify a how-to? Particularly a tentative, untested one?)
(If I write on the topic again, I will try to explain what “post-colonial” means in sufficient detail as to conclusively kill it as a local example.)
