Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recasting French literary history in terms of the cultures and peoples that interacted within and outside of France's national boundaries, this volume offers a new way of looking at the history of a national literature, along with a truly global and contemporary understanding of language, literature, and culture. The relationship between France's national territory and other regions of the world where French is spoken and written (most of them former colonies) has long been central to discussions of "Francophonie." Boldly expanding such discussions to the whole range of French literature, the essays in this volume explore spaces, mobilities, and multiplicities from the Middle Ages to today. They rethink literary history not in terms of national boundaries, as traditional literary histories have done, but in terms of a global paradigm that emphasizes border crossings and encounters with "others." Contributors offer new ways of reading canonical texts and considering other texts that are not part of the traditional canon. By emphasizing diverse conceptions of language, text, space, and nation, these essays establish a model approach that remains sensitive to the specificities of time and place and to the theoretical concerns informing the study of national literatures in the twenty-first century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "L'intégration de l'Afrique dans une économie-monde multipolaire est ambivalente. S'inscrivant dans des mouvements centrifuges et centripètes, dans le temps et dans l'espace, l'insertion de ce continent dans les relations économiques et financières internationales se caractérise par une diversité des situations nationales. Dans le cadre d'une mondialisation multidimensionnelle, l'Afrique a longtemps été considérée comme marginalisée et contrainte de s'y adapter. Elle apparaît, désormais, comme un de ses acteurs. L'ouvrage interroge le sens et la portée de cette intégration. Quelles formes prend-elle ? Dans quelles dynamiques s'inscrit-elle ? La place de chaque pays et leur évolution y demeurent-elles contrastées, tant au plan quantitatif que qualitatif ? Dans ce contexte, l'ouvrage présente quatre thématiques se rapportant à des mutations qui contribuent à renforcer, sous diverses formes, les composantes de l'intégration des pays africains dans l'économie mondiale : les liaisons Afrique-Asie, les modalités de l'exploitation des matières premières, les partenariats renouvelés avec l'Union européenne et les mouvements migratoires."--P. [4] of cover.

La mondialisation est-elle le résultat d'une évolution naturelle et linéaire, procédant des seules forces du marché ? Ou bien, est-on en présence d'une stratégie dont les véritables maîtres d'œuvre opèrent dans l'ombre ? Ce livre cherche à apporter des éléments de réponse à ces questions, particulièrement au niveau de l'Afrique ciblée par la mondialisation tant dans son économie que dans sa culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores a collective understanding of the perception and treatment of borders in Africa. The notion of boundary is universal as boundaries are also an important part of human social organization. Through the ages, boundaries have remained the container by which national space is delineated and contained. For as long as there has been human society based on territoriality and space, there have been boundaries. With their dual character of exclusivism and inclusivism, states have proven to adopt a more structural approach to the respect of the former in consciousness of the esteem of international law governing sovereignty and territorial integrity. However, frontier peoples and their realities have often opted for the latter situation, imposing a more functionalist perception of these imaginary lines and prompting a border opinion shift to a more blurring form of representation and meaning in most African communities. This collective multidisciplinary effort of understanding how tangible and intangible borders have influenced Africas attitude and existence for ages is worthy in its own rights. The difference between what borders are and what they are not to a people is the mere product of their own estimations and practices, a disposition that leads the contributors to this book to study borders beyond states or nations and how borders are crossed or transferred from one point to the other for the convenience of their histories and being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doit-on considérer la Négritude comme un mouvement ancré dans la fin de la période coloniale et sur lequel il n’y a plus lieu de revenir ? C’est une des questions que le colloque qui s’est tenu à l’Université des West Indies à la Barbade en l’honneur du centenaire de la naissance de Senghor s’efforce d’explorer. Lylian Kesteloot nous rappelle encore récemment dans son étude Césaire et Senghor un pont sur l’Atlantique l’importance de ce mouvement qui entre les années trente et soixante a participé à la naissance de la littérature africaine. La question du particularisme que le mot Négritude implique et de son opposé l’universel sera largement débattue dans les pages de cet ouvrage. Les articles de cet essai discutent les défauts essentialistes de la Négritude senghorienne, mais également le fait que dans les termes de Senghor « la Négritude est un mythe », donc une construction identitaire, l’expression d’une invention. Il envisageait par exemple l’avènement d’un socialisme africain, dans une interprétation unique du marxisme. En tant que mouvement poétique, philosophique, littéraire, ou en tant que réponse idéologique à une oppression, les auteurs africains et antillais étudiés ici et qui traitent de thèmes très contemporains, démontrent la vivacité d’une Négritude toujours d’actualité dans sa présentation des cultures. Il faut bien entendu dépasser la notion raciale contenue dans le terme et insister sur le culturel, le philosophique et l’esthétique, pour accepter que la Négritude ait une pertinence actuelle. Notamment nous verrons que la Négritude s’est métamorphosée aux Antilles où au Brésil en d’originaux projets idéologiques et esthétiques. Should Negritude be seen as a movement that originated at the end of the colonial era and merits no further study in this contemporary world? This is one of the questions explored in the Colloquium held at the University of the West Indies, Barbados, to mark the centenary of the birth of Léopold Sedar Senghor. In a recent study, Césaire et Senghor: Un pont sur l’Atlantique, Lylian Kesteloot reminds her readers of the importance of Negritude which contributed to the emergence of African literature between 1930 and 1960. The idea of essentialism which the word Negritude implies, as well as the opposite idea of universalism, will be widely discussed in the pages of this work. This collection of essays acknowledges the essential shortcomings of Senghor’s Negritude, but, at the same time, underlines the fact that in Senghor’s words, “Negritude is a myth” and therefore has to do with the construction of (an) identity and is the expression of an imaginary creation. It envisaged, for example, the creation of an African form of socialism within a unique interpretation of Marxism. In this volume, African and Caribbean writers who are concerned with contemporary issues, demonstrate the vitality of Negritude as a poetic, philosophical and literary movement and as an ideological response to oppression that is still relevant in its presentation of cultures. Clearly, it is necessary to go beyond the notion of race implied in the term and to focus on the cultural, philosophical and aesthetic elements in order to appreciate the relevance of Negritude today. Most notably in the Caribbean or Brazil, Negritude has been transformed into original ideological and aesthetic projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le thème central du 3e congrès de l'Association des historiens africains tenu à Bamako du 10 au 14 septembre 2001 offrait le double avantage d'englober la plupart des domaines de recherches historiques et d'ouvrir sur les débats d'actualité qui engagent l'avenir. Dans un monde plus que jamais unifié, notamment par le marché, et marqué également par le paradoxe apparent de la marginalisation et des exclusions, les historiens se devaient d'apporter leur contribution à la compréhension de la mondialisation, concept relativement récent qui recouvre des réalités résultant d'un processus historique de longue portée. Les contributions présentées au congrès de Bamako, ouvert aux historiens de toutes origines, s'articulent, au-delà de leur grande diversité, autour de quelques grandes préoccupations. Elles tentent d'abord d'établir un bilan critique de l'historiographie africaine de ces dernières années, suscitant ainsi le débat sur l'exercice du métier d'historien, et son " utilité " éventuelle. Quelle histoire ? Pour quel public ? Et pour quoi faire ? De la réponse à ces questions dépend en partie la pertinence de nos approches de la mondialisation. La plupart des approches présentées dans l'ouvrage s'attachent à mettre en lumière le caractère récurrent et dynamique de la mondialisation qui change de forme selon les différents " temps " que sont les séquences historiques marquées au cours de la période dite " moderne " par la traite atlantique, la colonisation ou plus récemment, la vague de néolibéralisme. Toutes ces séquences ont lourdement pesé sur le destin de l'Afrique. En faisant le constat, les analyses n'occultent nullement la question de la " responsabilité " des Africains dans ces évolutions. Les contributions ouvrent enfin sur les perspectives africaines de la mondialisation actuelle. Les enjeux, le défi de la réalisation effective de l'unité africaine, les perspectives ouvertes à cet effet par la création récente de l'Union africaine et la contribution possible des sciences sociales au renforcement d'une conscience historique africaine en faveur de cette intégration sont autant de thèmes abordés que de chantiers ouverts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main theme of volume 6 of Eco-ethica is "Ethics and Justice" which focuses on the idea of "justice" in a metaphysical, social, and personal sense. Justice is considered as a balance between opposite ambitions in interdependent persons, and as equity in legislation, but not as blind justice. Today it is valuable not only on the national, but also on the cosmopolitan level. Before it became personal justice, the idea of justice was considered metaphysical and social, both in European and Chinese culture. However, in modern times, it is often reduced to a moral duty without meta-ethical responsibility. The last section considers the importance of the philosophy of Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) for clarifying the idea of justice. (Series: Eco-Ethica, Vol. 6) [Subject: Philosophy, Ethics]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing a Sustainable Economy in Cameroon is an ambitious effort as the authors try to set a blue print for Cameroon's economy. In the 1980s facing economic crisis, and as dictated by the structural adjustment programme, Cameroon sharply cut public investment expenditures before later cutting government consumption which were followed by privatisation, liquidation of public companies and reduction in the size of the public sector. All these measures are believed to have had devastating effects on the economy. Given the performance of the economy so far the authors suggest that much more effort, with a strong commitment of the main stakeholders, is required to guarantee sustainable economic development in Cameroon. Truly, very few countries in Africa possess such enormous human and natural resources as Cameroon does. This volume brings out the challenges Cameroon faces in its quest for development as well as for designing appropriate strategies for addressing those development challenges.

Book excerpt: Entre-Textes introduces advanced students of French to the richness of the Francophone world through literature from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. The course anthology is divided into fourteen modules, each of which pairs a classical text with a modern one. Students are guided to read works from different periods of time and cultural origin and consider how these echo, complement or question each other. Through comparing and contrasting the texts, students will develop a new approach to reading literature while simultaneously reinforcing linguistic and cultural competencies. Suitable for advanced students of French and featuring texts from across the French-speaking world, Entre-Textes is an innovative course anthology with a flexible structure and versatile methodology.
