Book Synopsis La Théorie Postcoloniale by : Leon-Marie Nkolo Ndjodo
Download or read book La Théorie Postcoloniale written by Leon-Marie Nkolo Ndjodo and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-09-06 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La théorie culturelle et esthétique postcoloniale fixe les difficultés du continent africain dans une stylistique de l’horreur et une anthropologie de l’échec et de l’impuissance culturelle. Elle produit une lecture minoritaire, marginale et hybride des productions artistiques africaines, découvrant ainsi leur caractère indéterminé et interstitiel. Le postcolonialisme appréhende la création culturelle africaine sur le mode de l’enchevêtrement et selon la loi de la circulation des mondes imposée par le capitalisme transnational. Il sort dès lors de la problématique de la libération nationale, s’interdisant de fait toute pensée véritable de l’émancipation. Cette pensée permettrait de déceler dans le désordre culturel postcolonial le signe d’une décolonisation inaboutie – et donc l’occasion d’une décolonisation à parfaire. Le concept de décolonisation révolutionnaire permet de remettre de l’ordre dans le chaos culturel postcolonial par la lutte à l’échelle du continent contre le système mondial de domination qui étouffe les arts et les cultures d’Afrique. Cette lutte pour l’égalité suppose la rupture avec l’Empire et la reconnexion avec soi-même. Elle remet les peuples africains en mouvement et constitue l’Afrique en centre autonome de décision, de création, de puissance, de civilisation et de culture.
Book Synopsis Postcolonial Theory by : Leela Gandhi
Download or read book Postcolonial Theory written by Leela Gandhi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postcolonial Theory is a ground-breaking critical introduction to the burgeoning field of postcolonial studies. Leela Gandhi is the first to clearly map out this field in terms of its wider philosophical and intellectual context, drawing important connections between postcolonial theory and poststructuralism, postmodernism, marxism and feminism. She assesses the contribution of major theorists such as Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak and Homi Bhabha, and also points to postcolonialism's relationship to earlier thinkers such as Frantz Fanon and Mahatma Gandhi. The book is distinctive in its concern for the specific historical, material and cultural contexts for postcolonial theory, and in its attempt to sketch out the ethical possibilities for postcolonial theory as a model for living with and 'knowing' cultural differences non-violently. Postcolonial Theory is a useful starting point for readers new to the field and a provocative account which opens possibilities for debate.
Book Synopsis Ambivalence and the Postcolonial Subject by : Gera Burton
Download or read book Ambivalence and the Postcolonial Subject written by Gera Burton and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regarded as «Cuba's most mysterious poet», Juan Francisco Manzano continues to intrigue scholars across disciplines. Using a postcolonial approach, this book breaks new ground by exploring the poet's connection with the Irish civil rights champion, Richard Robert Madden. Drawing on previously untapped sources, Gera C. Burton takes a fresh look at the relationship between these two extraordinary individuals to reveal facts considered critical in achieving an understanding of their association, with particular resonance for postcolonial studies. What emerges, regardless of their ambivalence, is the creation of a strategic alliance forged by the two writers in opposition to the colonial powers. Scholars in the fields of Latin American, postcolonial, and Diasporic studies, along with specialists in Cuban and Irish studies will welcome this significant contribution to the body of work on «la gente sin historia» - the people without a history.

Book Synopsis Littératures Canadiennes Et Identités Postcoloniales by : Marc Maufort
Download or read book Littératures Canadiennes Et Identités Postcoloniales written by Marc Maufort and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2002 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers challenging assessments of the reconfigurations that have shaped Anglophone and Francophone Canadian literatures in the last decades of the twentieth century. Focusing on the pursuit of an ever-elusive «Canadianness» in literary texts, it documents the astonishing range of Canadian diasporic identities that have recently emerged in the Canadian literary landscape. The contributors to this volume boldly transgress the widely held critical assumptions of postcolonialism in their examination of the literary representations of contemporary Canada's many «Others». Ce volume rassemble nombre d'analyses innovatrices des reconfigurations qui ont caractérisé les littératures canadiennes anglophones et francophones durant les dernières décennies du vingtième siècle. Tout en se concentrant sur la quête de l'insaisissable «Canadianité» en littérature, l'ouvrage démontre l'étonnante diversité des identités diasporiques qui ont récemment émergé dans le paysage littéraire canadien. Les contributeurs de ce volume transgressent audacieusement les certitudes généralement acquises du postcolonialisme afin de mieux décrire les représentations littéraires des nombreux «Autres» du Canada actuel.
Book Synopsis Postcolonial Haunting and Victimization by : Michael F. O'Riley
Download or read book Postcolonial Haunting and Victimization written by Michael F. O'Riley and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postcolonial Haunting and Victimization: Assia Djebar's New Novels treats one of the central problems within the current geo-political conflict between Islam and the West: how the memory of imperialism fuels fundamentalist claims to territory and creates a paradigm of victimization through which martyrdom and terrorism prevail. Through an examination of the most recent works by the award-winning Algerian author Assia Djebar, this book considers how the culture of victimization prevails in postcolonial thought and practice, not only in the West but in formerly colonized territories as well. It examines the work of important postcolonial critics, such as Achille Mbembe and others, in dialogue with the works of Djebar, one of the most popular international postcolonial authors treating these questions from within the contemporary framework. Both in theory and in practice, this book reveals how pervasive haunting and victimization are in the wake of September 11th and provides an alternative way of responding to them. It demonstrates how Djebar's reticence to explore the details of colonialism marks an important shift in postcolonial literature and criticism and an important attempt to address the dynamics of victimization. Postcolonial Haunting and Victimization will be a great resource to all those interested in the question of Islam and the West as well as to a wide array of readers in the fields of literary and postcolonial studies.
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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glissant has written extensively in French about the colonial experience in the Caribbean. Britton (French, Aberdeen U., Scotland) situates Glissant within ongoing debates in postcolonial theory, making connections between his novels and theoretical work and the work of Frantz Fanon, Gayatri Spivak, Homi Bhanha, and Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Focusing on language and subjectivity, discussion moves between analysis of Glissant's theoretical work and detailed readings of his novels. Major themes central to his writing, such as the reappropriation of history, standard and vernacular language, and the colonial construction of the Other, are addressed.

Book Synopsis Petite introduction aux "postcolonial studies" by : Yves Clavaron
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 The Future of Postcolonial Studies by : Chantal Zabus
Download or read book The Future of Postcolonial Studies written by Chantal Zabus and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Postcolonial Studies celebrates the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of The Empire Writes Back by the now famous troika - Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffiths and Helen Tiffin. When The Empire Writes Back first appeared in 1989, it put postcolonial cultures and their post-invasion narratives on the map. This vibrant collection of fifteen chapters by both established and emerging scholars taps into this early mapping while merging these concerns with present trends which have been grouped as: comparing, converting, greening, post-queering and utopia. The postcolonial is a centrifugal force that continues to energize globalization, transnational, diaspora, area and queer studies. Spanning the colonial period from the 1860s to the present, The Future of Postcolonial Studies ventures into other postcolonies outside of the Anglophone purview. In reassessing the nation-state, language, race, religion, sexuality, the environment, and the very idea of 'the future,' this volume reasserts the notion that postcolonial is an "anticipatory discourse" and bears testimony to the driving energy and thus the future of postcolonial studies.
Book Synopsis The Narrow Pass of Our Nerves by : Sara Castro-Klarén
Download or read book The Narrow Pass of Our Nerves written by Sara Castro-Klarén and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book analyzes, from the perspective of the coloniality of power, the cultural and political work of colonial subjects such as el Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, Guaman Poma de Ayala or Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. "Sara Castro Klarén's The Narrow Pass of Our Nerves is a triumph of postcolonial thought. In this superb selection of essays she brilliantly analyzes the work of a set of Latin American writers who produced a pioneering corpus of thought about societies torn by Iberian colonialism and US imperialism." Fernando Coronil, CUNY "Speaking from the interface of literary studies, intellectual history, political philosophy, and cultural theory, Castro-Klarén intervenes in vital and complex debates with uncommon erudition and elegant arguments that trace a wide critical arc and engage readers from multiple locations." Vicky Unruh, University of Kansas

Book Synopsis Deconstruction and the Postcolonial by : Michael Syrotinski
Download or read book Deconstruction and the Postcolonial written by Michael Syrotinski and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postcolonial studies, and the rich body of theory that it applies in its analyses, has transformed and unsettled the ways in which, across a whole range of disciplines, we think about notions such as subjectivity, national identity, globalization, history, language, literature or international politics. Until recently, the emphasis of the groundbreaking work being carried out in these areas has been almost exclusively within an Anglophone context, but increasingly the focus of postcolonial studies is shifting to a more comparative approach. One of the most intriguing developments in this shift.
Download or read book Discern(e)ments written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-06-08 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bilingual collection of essays on the aesthetics of Gilles Deleuze, Discern(e)ments highlights what is at stake in Deleuzian philosophy of art. It traces the reception of Deleuzian thought in a broad range of disciplines and gauges its use-value in each of them. Following the dynamics between structure and becoming that punctuates Deleuzian aesthetics, Discern(e)ments sketches and erases boundaries between methods and traditions in philosophy and art theory, as well as in literary, performance and film studies. Offering both numerous case-studies as well as theoretical outlines, Discern(e)ments engages faculties, disciplines and criticisms not in a mere exchange of points of view, but in heterogenesis mapping out further discernments in Deleuzian aesthetics.
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.
