Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couv. indique : "L’irruption des postcolonial studies dans le débat français, sur fond de malaise dans les banlieues, s’accompagne de malentendus. Cette approche, venue des universités anglophones, est tantôt évoquée pour dénoncer la lenteur de la France à prendre en considération les réalités postcoloniales, tantôt repoussée comme une mise en accusation du passé, dangereuse pour la cohésion nationale. Mais rares sont ceux qui, en France, connaissent vraiment ces écrits, leur genèse et leur évolution. Cet ouvrage sans équivalent présente de façon contradictoire mais dépassionnée les principaux auteurs, concepts et problématiques des postcolonial studies. Il en fait l’examen critique et discute à plusieurs voix leur pertinence pour la situation française actuelle. Penser en termes postcoloniaux ne signifie pas se crisper avec amertume sur le passé et creuser des oppositions négatives. Cela conduit au contraire à penser la diversité de la société française dans la « Relation » et la convergence des histoires. L’exercice est nécessaire, et il y a urgence."
Book Synopsis Postcolonial Thought in the French Speaking World by : Charles Forsdick
Download or read book Postcolonial Thought in the French Speaking World written by Charles Forsdick and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1990’s, Postcolonial Studies risked imploding as a credible area of academic enquiry. Repeated anthologization and an overemphasis on the English-language literatures led to sustained critiques of the field and to an active search for alternative approaches to the globalized and transnational formations of the post-colonial world. In the early twenty-first century, however, postcolonial began to reveal a new openness to its comparative dimensions. French-language contributors to postcolonial debate (such as Edouard Glissant and Abdelkebir Khatibi) have recently risen to greater prominence in the English-speaking world, and there have also appeared an increasing number of important critical and theoretical texts on postcolonial issues, written by scholars working principally on French-language material. It is to such a context that this book responds. Acknowledging these shifts, this volume provides an essential tool for students and scholars outside French departments seeking a way into the study of Francophone colonial postcolonial debates. At the same time, it supplies scholars in French with a comprehensive overview of essential ideas and key intellectuals in this area.
Book Synopsis Transnational French Studies by : Alec G. Hargreaves
Download or read book Transnational French Studies written by Alec G. Hargreaves and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2007 manifesto in favour of a "Litterature-monde en francais" has generated new debates in both "francophone" and "postcolonial" studies. Praised by some for breaking down the hierarchical division between "French" and "Francophone" literatures, the manifesto has been criticized by othersfor recreating that division through an exoticizing vision that continues to privilege the publishing industry of the former colonial metropole. Does the manifesto signal the advent of a new critical paradigm destined to render obsolescent those of "francophone" and/or "postcolonial" studies? Or isit simply a passing fad, a glitzy but ephemeral publicity stunt generated and promoted by writers and publishing executives vis-a-vis whom scholars and critics should maintain a skeptical distance? Does it offer an all-embracing transnational vista leading beyond the confines of postcolonialism orreintroduce an incipient form of neocolonialism even while proclaiming the end of the centre/periphery divide? In addressing these questions, leading scholars of "French", "Francophone" and "postcolonial" studies from around the globe help to assess the wider question of the evolving status ofFrench Studies as a transnational field of study amid the challenges of globalization.

Download or read book Petite introduction aux "postcolonial studies" written by Yves Clavaron and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: D'origine anglo-saxonne, les postcolonial studies ou études postcoloniales ont longtemps eu mauvaise presse en France, mais, depuis les années 2000, elles ont désormais acquis droit de cité, même si leur acclimatation relative s'est faite après de vifs débats dans le monde intellectuel et politique français. Les études postcoloniales constituent un ensemble théorique issu des sciences humaines et sociales qui scrute les dispositifs du savoir et la cartographie des pouvoirs dans un contexte mondial encore marqué par l'hégémonie occidentale plus d'un demi-siècle après la fin des Empires. Hybrides et transdisciplinaires, elles n'offrent pas un système théorique unifié, mais fournissent des instruments d'analyse qui ont en commun de renverser les perspectives et d'offrir un regard différent sur les relations internationales. Au-delà des polémiques suscitées par l'introduction de penseurs comme Edward Said, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak et Homi Bhabha - la sainte trinité postcoloniale - dans le paysage intellectuel français, l'ouvrage se propose de donner un aperçu synthétique du contexte d'émergence des théories postcoloniales, de leurs emprunts et leurs apports à la littérature et aux sciences humaines et sociales ainsi que des modalités de leur réception dans le monde français et francophone.
Book Synopsis A Divided Republic by : Emile Chabal
Download or read book A Divided Republic written by Emile Chabal and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an original and sophisticated historical interpretation of contemporary French political culture. Until now, there have been few attempts to understand the political consequences of the profound geopolitical, intellectual and economic changes that France has undergone since the 1970s. However, Emile Chabal's detailed study shows how passionate debates over citizenship, immigration, colonial memory, the reform of the state and the historiography of modern France have galvanised the French elite and created new spaces for discussion and disagreement. Many of these debates have coalesced around two political languages - republicanism and liberalism - both of which structure the historical imagination and the symbolic vocabulary of French political actors. The tension between these two political languages has become the central battleground of contemporary French politics. It is around these two poles that politicians, intellectuals and members of France's vast civil society have tried to negotiate the formidable challenges of ideological uncertainty and a renewed sense of global insecurity.
Book Synopsis The Postcolonial Orient by : Vasant Kaiwar
Download or read book The Postcolonial Orient written by Vasant Kaiwar and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Postcolonial Orient, Vasant Kaiwar presents a far-reaching analysis of the political, economic, and ideological cross-currents that have shaped and informed postcolonial studies preceding and following the 1989 moment of world history. The valences of the ‘post’ in postcolonialism are unfolded via some key historical-political postcolonial texts showing, inter alia, that they are replete with elements of Romantic Orientalism and the Oriental Renaissance. Kaiwar mobilises a critical body of classical and contemporary Marxism to demonstrate that far richer understandings of ‘Europe’ not to mention ‘colonialism’, ‘modernity’ and ‘difference’ are possible than with a postcolonialism captive to phenomenological-existentialism and post-structuralism, concluding that a narrative so enriched is indispensable for a transformative non-Eurocentric internationalism.

Book Synopsis Against the Postcolonial by : Richard Serrano
Download or read book Against the Postcolonial written by Richard Serrano and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Serrano begins his provocative new work Against the Postcolonial with the bold statement that OFrancophone studies is mostly a mirage, while postcolonial studies is mostly a delusion.O He argues that many attempts to use postcoloniality to account for francophone writers tell us more about the criticsO assumptions than about the writersO works. Furthermore, he asserts that postcolonial studies, with its antecedents as an Anglophone Indian project that emerged in response to the weakening British Raj, is but one sort of narrative of colonialism into which writers of French expression do not neatly fit. In an insightful exploration of the work of five writers from lands formerly or currently ruled by France_Algeria, Cambodia, Guiana, Madagascar, and Mali_Serrano demonstrates the rewards of research that engages in textual analysis within its historical and literary context. He deftly argues against the relevance of a homogenizing critical practice; considering these writers Opostcolonial, O he claims, is to misunderstand their aesthetic strategies for survival in the face of French colonialism and modernism. Scholars of Francophone literature, postcolonial studies, and world literature will relish SerranoOs lively invitation to debate and masterful analysis of five brilliant artists.
Book Synopsis Postcolonialism: A Very Short Introduction by : Robert J. C. Young
Download or read book Postcolonialism: A Very Short Introduction written by Robert J. C. Young and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postcolonialism explores the political, social, and cultural effects of decolonization, continuing the anti-colonial deconstruction of western dominance. This Very Short Introduction discusses both the history and key debates of postcolonialism, and considers its importance as a means of changing the way we think about the world. Robert J. C. Young examines the key strategies that postcolonial thought has developed to engage with the impact of sometimes centuries of western political and cultural domination. Situating the discussion in a wide cultural and geographical context, he draws on examples such as the status of indigenous peoples, of those dispossessed from their land, Algerian rai music, and global social and ecological movements. In this new edition he also includes updated material on race, slavery, and postcolonial gender politics. Above all, Young argues that postcolonialism offers a political philosophy of activism that contests the current situation of global inequality, which in a new way continues the anti-colonial struggles of the past and enables us to decolonize our own lives in the present. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable
Book Synopsis Les études postcoloniales by : Jean-François Bayart
Download or read book Les études postcoloniales written by Jean-François Bayart and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les études postcoloniales se sont imposées comme un courant important des études culturelles et de la recherche en sciences sociales de langue anglaise. Il est de plus en plus reproché à l'Université française de les ignorer, alors que des militants et des historiens engagés interprètent la crise des banlieues dans les termes d'une " fracture coloniale " plutôt que sociale. Ce mauvais procès n'est pas fondé. Il occulte toute une tradition d'écrits et de travaux qui ont perpétué en France une pensée critique sur la colonisation. Il tient pour acquise la contribution scientifique des études postcoloniales, qui certes ont pu être utiles, dans leur diversité, mais qui sont largement superflues au regard des apports d'autres approches. Surtout, les études postcoloniales restent prisonnières du culturalisme et du récit national dont elles prétendaient émanciper les sciences sociales. Et elles s'interdisent de comprendre l'historicité des sociétés, celle du moment colonial, celle enfin de l'éventuelle transmission d'un legs colonial dans les métropoles ou dans les pays anciennement colonisés. Leur reconsidération fournit l'opportunité, d'ouvrir de nouvelles pistes de réflexion pour l'analyse de l'Etat, au croisement de la science politique, de l'histoire, de l'anthropologie et de l'économie politique.

Book Synopsis This "Self" Which Is Not One by : Natalie Edwards
Download or read book This "Self" Which Is Not One written by Natalie Edwards and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03-08 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “Self” Which is Not One: Women’s Life-Writing in French, assembles articles on women’s life-writing from diverse areas of the Francophone world. It is comprised of nine chapters that discuss female writers from North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean and Europe, in addition to French writers. The idea of the self is currently attracting widespread interest in academia, most notably in the arts and humanities. The development of postmodernism supposes a fragmented “subject” formed from the network of available discourses, rather than a stable and coherent self. Jacques Derrida, for example, wrote that there is no longer any such things as a “full subject,” and Julia Kristeva now insists that the individual is a “subject in process.” The growing importance of psychoanalytic theory, particular in French studies, has also impacted upon this development. The basic tenet of psychoanalytic theory is that the individual is formed of a duality: the conscious and unconscious parts of the self which prevent the individual from ever fully knowing her/himself, and which thus insists upon a plural, incomplete self. Developments in the field of postcolonial studies have also made us aware of different ways of approaching the self in different parts of the world, and eroded the idea of a stable, conscious and complete self. As scholars examine these new ways of approaching the self, autobiography has been the subject of renewed interest. Several academic books have appeared in recent years that study the ways in which autobiographers represent the self as incomplete, evolving and elusive. In particular, a number of books have appeared on the subject of women’s autobiography and female subjectivity, such as works by Sidonie Smith, Julia Watson and Nancy Miller, and several volumes interrogate postcolonial women’s autobiography, such as texts by Françoise Lionnet, Gayatri Spivak, Carole Boyce Davies and Chandra Mohanty. Our volume unites these strands of criticism, by examining ways that female autobiographies write the self as a fragmented, plural construct across the Francophone world. This will be the first book-length study of this important development. This volume will be of interest primarily to students and scholars working in the areas of life-writing, French and Francophone studies, postcolonial studies and gender studies. The volume contributes to multiple areas that are currently garnering substantial interest in academe: postcolonial studies, Francophone studies, gender studies and women’s writing. By comparing works from across the Francophone world, our volume takes a global approach to the genre of autobiography and its inflections by women writers. The “Self” That is Not One in Women’s Autobiography in French therefore represents a timely intervention in several interlinking academic fields and will thus garner substantial interest.
Book Synopsis France's Lost Empires by : Kate Marsh
Download or read book France's Lost Empires written by Kate Marsh and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2011 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays investigates the fundamental role that the loss of colonial territories at the end of the Ancient Regime and post-World War II has played in shaping French memories and colonial discourses. In identifying loss and nostalgia as key tropes in cultural representations, these essays call for a re-evaluation of French colonialism as a discourse informed not just by narratives of conquest, but equally by its histories of defeat.
Book Synopsis Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital by : Vivek Chibber
Download or read book Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital written by Vivek Chibber and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postcolonial theory has become enormously influential as a framework for understanding the Global South. It is also a school of thought popular because of its rejection of the supposedly universalizing categories of the Enlightenment. In this devastating critique, mounted on behalf of the radical Enlightenment tradition, Vivek Chibber offers the most comprehensive response yet to postcolonial theory. Focusing on the hugely popular Subaltern Studies project, Chibber shows that its foundational arguments are based on a series of analytical and historical misapprehensions. He demonstrates that it is possible to affirm a universalizing theory without succumbing to Eurocentrism or reductionism. Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital promises to be a historical milestone in contemporary social theory.
