This book offers an original and informed critique of a widespread, yet often misunderstood, condition - nostalgia, a pervasive human emotion connecting people across national, historical, and personal boundaries. Walder analyses the writings of some of those entangled in the aftermath of empire, tracing the hidden connections underlying their yearnings for a common identity and a homeland, and their struggles to recover their histories. Through a series of comparative reflections upon the representation in literary and related cultural forms of memory, he shows how admitting the past into the present through nostalgia enables former colonial or diasporic subjects to gain a deeper understanding of the networks of power within which they are caught in the modern world, and beyond which it may yet be possible to move. Considering authors as varied as V.S Naipaul, J.G. Ballard, Doris Lessing, W.G. Sebald, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, as well as versions of "Bushman" song, Walder pursues the often wayward, ambiguous paths of nostalgia as it has been represented beyond, but also within, Europe, so as to identify some of those processes of communal and individual experience that constitute the present and, by implication, the future.
Название: Postcolonial Translocations: Cultural Representation and Critical Spatial Thinking ISBN: 9042036311 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789042036314 Издательство: Brill Рейтинг: Цена: 195250.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The sites from which postcolonial cultural articulations develop and the sites at which they are received have undergone profound transformations within the last decades. This book traces the accelerating emergence of cultural crossovers and overlaps in a global perspective and through a variety of disciplinary approaches. It starts from the premise that after the `spatial turn` human action and cultural representations can no longer be grasped as firmly located in or clearly demarcated by territorial entities. The collection of essays investigates postcolonial articulations of various genres and media in their spatiality and locatedness while envisaging acts of location as dynamic cultural processes. It explores the ways in which critical spatial thinking can be made productive: Testing the uses and limitations of `translocation` as an open exploratory model for a critically spatialized postcolonial studies, it covers a wide range of cultural expressions from the anglophone world and beyond - literature, film, TV, photography and other forms of visual art, philosophy, historical memory, and tourism. The extensive introductory chapter charts various facets of spatial thinking from a variety of disciplines, and critically discusses their implications for postcolonial studies. The contributors` essays range from theoretical interventions into the critical routines of postcolonial criticism to case studies of specific cultural texts, objects, and events reflecting temporal and spatial, material and intellectual, physical and spiritual mobility. What emerges is a fascinating survey of the multiple directions postcolonial translocations can take in the future. This book is aimed at students and scholars of postcolonial literary and cultural studies, diaspora studies, migration studies, transnational studies, globalisation studies, critical space studies, urban studies, film studies, media studies, art history, philosophy, history, and anthropology.

This book argues that modernity in postcolonial India has been synonymous with catastrophe and crisis. Focusing on the literary works of the 1943 Bengal Famine, the 1967-72 Naxalbari Movement, and the 1975-77 Indian Emergency, it shows that there is a long-term, colonially-engineered agrarian crisis enabling these catastrophic events. Novelists such as Bhabani Bhattacharya, Mahasweta Devi, Salman Rushdie, Rohinton Mistry, Nabarun Bhattacharya, and Nayantara Sahgal, among others, have captured the relationship between the long-term crisis and the catastrophic aspects of the events through different aesthetic modalities within realism, ranging from analytical-affective, critical realist, quest modes to apparently non-realist ones such as metafictional, urban fantastic, magical realist, and others. These realist modalities are together read here as postcolonial catastrophic realism.

Описание: Confronted with apartheid, dictatorship or the sheer scale of global economics, realism can no longer function with the certainties of the nineteenth century. Free Realist Style considers how the style of the realist novel changes as its epistemological horizons narrow.

Описание: A l’ere postcoloniale, les litteratures de la migration et de l’exil se sont considerablement developpees dans les pays de la Mediterranee qui ont connu, sous des formes diverses, le colonialisme, les guerres d’independance, puis la decolonisation. « Espace-mouvement » autour de trois aires culturelles, la chretiente, le monde orthodoxe et la oumma musulmane, la Mediterranee a connu nombre d’affrontements, de heurts et de bouleversements identitaires. Au-dela de la crainte et de la mefiance nees de cette histoire, il existe une capacite d’invention renouvelee manifestee par les textes des ecrivains issus des differents pays mediterraneens: Algerie, Chypre, Croatie, Egypte, Grece, Liban, Maroc, Tunisie. A la lumiere de la critique postcoloniale, Espace mediterraneen : ecritures de l’exil, migrances et discours postcolonial analyse la dimension politique de ces ?uvres et le role qu’a pu jouer la decouverte de cultures differentes – a travers la migration, l’exil, l’expatriation – dans le parcours de certains ecrivains ou penseurs caracterises par une double appartenance. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage s’attachent donc a montrer les complexites mais aussi tout l’interet des ecritures de l’exil et de la migrance a la croisee des cultures et des langues de la Mediterranee contemporaine.
