The contemporary writer has a vital role to play in mapping out the identities and trajectories of nomadic individuals in today`s globalizing world.
Описание: ‘Focusing on francophone writing from North Africa as it has developed since the 1980s, Writing After Postcolonialism explores the extent to which the notion of ‘postcolonialism’ is still resonant for literary writers a generation or more after independence, and examines the troubled status of literature in society and politics during this period. Whilst analysing the ways in which writers from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia have reacted to political unrest and social dissatisfaction, Jane Hiddleston offers a compelling reflection on literature’s ability to interrogate the postcolonial nation as well as on its own uncertain role in the current context. The book sets out both to situate the recent generation of francophone writers in North Africa in relation to contemporary politics, to postcolonial theory, and evolving notions of ‘world literature, and to probe the ways in which a new and highly sophisticated set of writers reflect on the very notion of ‘the literary’ during this period of transition.’

Описание: Writing Through the Visual and Virtual: Inscribing Language, Literature, and Culture in Francophone Africa and the Caribbean interrogates conventional notions of writing. The contributors--whose disciplines include anthropology, art history, education, film, history, linguistics, literature, performance studies, philosophy, sociology, translation, and visual arts--examine the complex interplay between language/literature/arts and the visual and virtual domains of expressive culture. The twenty-five essays explore various patterns of writing practices arising from contemporary and historical forces that have impacted the literatures and cultures of Benin, Cameroon, C te d'Ivoire, Egypt, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Martinique, Morocco, Niger, Reunion Island, and Senegal. Special attention is paid to how scripts, though appearing to be merely decorative in function, are often used by artists and performers in the production of material and non-material culture to tell "stories" of great significance, co-mingling words and images in a way that leads to a creative synthesis that links the local and the global, the "classical" and the "popular" in new ways.
Описание: The Francophone Caribbean boasts a trove of literary gems. Distinguished by innovative, elegant writing and thought-provoking questions of history and identity, this exciting body of work demands scholarly attention. Its authors treat the traumatic legacies of shared and personal histories pervading Caribbean experience in striking ways, delineating a path towards reconciliation and healing.The creation of diverse personal narratives—encompassing autobiography, autofiction (heavily autobiographical fiction), travel writing, and reflective essay—remains characteristic of many Caribbean writers and offers poignant illustrations of the complexinterchange between shared and personal pasts and how they affect individual lives.Through their historically informed autobiography, the authorsin this study—Maryse Cond?, Gis?le Pineau, Patrick Chamoiseau, Edwidge Danticat, and Dany Laferri?re—offer compelling insights into confronting, coming to terms with, and reconciling their past. The employment of personal narratives as the vehicle to carry out this investigation points to a tension evident in these writers’ reflections, which constantly move between the collective and the personal. As an inescapably complex network, their past extends beyond the notion of a single, private life.These contemporary authors from Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Haiti intertwine their personal memories with reflections on the histories of their homelands and on the European and North American countries they adopt through choice or necessity. They reveal a multitude of deep connections that illuminate distinct Francophone Caribbean experiences.
Описание: Georges Henein, poete francophone d’Egypte apporte une contribution manifeste a la discipline des etudes litteraires francophones et comble un grand vide dans le domaine encore a peine explore de la francophonie au Moyen Orient. Cet ouvrage met en lumiere la vie et l’?uvre de Georges Henein, l’un des peres du surrealisme egyptien, souvent compare a Andre Breton. Un premier chapitre analyse l’empreinte historique, litteraire et culturelle laissee par la France sur l’Egypte, de l’expedition de Bonaparte aux annees 1960. Un second volet montre comment le mouvement surrealiste francais a pris racine dans le pays du Levant au cours des annees 1920 et etudie ses effets sur la litterature egyptienne avant la crise de Suez. Le troisiLe troisieme et dernier chapitre est consacre a une analyse de textes choisis et tente de definir le projet poetique et l’orientation politique de l’auteur. Cette reflexion montre egalement en quoi les textes d’Henein sont une contribution majeure a la litterature francaise et francophone et pourquoi ils meritent une place centrale dans le canon litteraire du 20e siecle. Cet ouvrage s’adresse a un large public international et interdisciplinaire. Chercheurs, professeurs et etudiants, mais aussi non-specialistes trouveront dans ce livre une source leur permettant de se familiariser avec le mouvement surrealiste francophone en Egypte, ainsi qu’Henein, ses ?uvres, et son epoque. Un nombre encore limite d'etudes ont ete publiees dans le domaine de la litterature francophone d’Egypte et beaucoup de ses auteurs restent largement inconnus du grand public. C’est a cette lacune que cet ouvrage tente de remedier. English summary: Georges Henein, French poet of Egypt provides a clear contribution to the discipline of the French literary studies and fills a void in the still barely explored area of the Francophonie in the Middle East. This book highlights the life and work of Georges Henein, one of the fathers of the Egyptian surrealism, often compared to Andre Breton.

Описание: Drawing on varied Francophone texts, the scholars brought together in this volume offer a compelling study, which puts the body and its relationship to its ecologies at the forefront. The notion of body itself points to numerous perspectives across disciplines, including in Literature and the Arts.
