Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un décor pitoyable mais enchanteur, une population grouillante mais spirituelle, des vaches sacrées mais squelettiques, des femmes voluptueuses mais violentes... représentations stéréotypées de l'Inde dans l'imaginaire occidental. Une image de l'Autre se réduit-elle ainsi à une simple série de relations hierarchisées? Ne peut-elle pas être prise comme une réflexion sur les écarts différentiels révélant autant sur la culture regardée que sur la culture regardante? Ce livre qui examine la nature et le fonctionnement des composantes de l'imagerie indienne dans le genre romanesque français depuis 1947 s'efforce de traiter cette problématique posée par l'écriture sur l'Altérité.

Book Histoire de la litt  rature de l Inde moderne

Download or read book Histoire de la litt rature de l Inde moderne written by Claudine Le Blanc and published by Ellipses Marketing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bien que plusieurs fois millénaire et jadis découverte avec enthousiasme par l'Europe romantique, la littérature indienne reste aujourd'hui mal connue en Occident. Les développements des deux derniers siècles, quant à eux, sont souvent réduits à quelques productions anglophones récentes. La littérature de l'Inde aux XIXe et XXe siècles présente pourtant une extraordinaire histoire d'emprunt et de réinvention, celle d'un genre, le roman, introduit dans le sillage de la colonisation britannique et peu à peu imité, adapté, métamorphosé dans les nombreuses langues vernaculaires de l'Inde autant qu'en anglais. C'est cette longue histoire, couronnée aujourd'hui par l'éclatante visibilité des œuvres de la diaspora indienne, que le présent ouvrage se propose de faire découvrir de façon synthétique au lecteur francophone.

Book Narratives of the French Empire

Download or read book Narratives of the French Empire written by Kate Marsh and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study interrogates how the French empire was imagined in three literary representations of French colonialism: the conquest of Tahiti, and the established colonial systems in Martinique and in India. The study is the first in either English or French to demonstrate that representations of power relations, as well as the broader discourses with which they were linked, were as closely concerned with probing the similarities and differences of rival European colonial systems as they were with reinforcing their imagined superiority over the colonized, and that such power relations should not be conceptualized as a dualistic categorization of ‘colonizer’ versus ‘colonized’. In doing so, it aims to go beyond examining the interaction between colonized and colonizer, or between colonial centre and periphery, and to interrogate instead the circulation of ideas and practices across different sites of European colonialism, drawing attention to a historical complexity which has been neglected in the necessary race to recover voices previously occluded from academic analysis. In exploring how the notion of the French empire overseas was construed and how it was infused with meaning at three different historical moments, 1784, 1835 and 1938, it demonstrates how precarious the French empire was perceived to be, in terms of both European rivalry and resistance from the colonized, and how the rhetoric of a French colonisation douce was pitted against the inscribed excesses of the more powerful British empire. Rather than employing the sorts of recuperative agenda which focus on how the colonized were elided (viz., Subaltern Studies) or on the writings of the formerly colonized (viz., Francophone Studies), the study concerns itself specifically with how French colonialism and imperialism were perceived, and thus offers a further corrective to any generalizations about European colonialism and imperialism. More particularly, by examining how the representational strategy of nostalgia is used in these texts, the study demonstrates how perceived loss, and nostalgia for an imperial past, played a role in dynamically shaping the French colonial enterprise across its various manifestations.

Book French Global

    Book Details:
  • Author : Christie McDonald
  • Publisher : Columbia University Press
  • Release : 2010
  • ISBN : 0231147414
  • Pages : 572 pages

Download or read book French Global written by Christie McDonald and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 572 pages. 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.

Book What the Body Remembers

Download or read book What the Body Remembers written by Shauna Singh Baldwin and published by Nan A. Talese. This book was released on 1999 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a story about estrangement and division... This narrative about fathers estranged from daughters, mothers from sons, husbands from wives, becomes a metaphor for the turmoil and flux we call history, without always speaking of that history directly... This is a novel whose many themes and characters have been orchestrated, for the most part, with great confidence and without sacrificing complexity. It is an impressive debut." --Amit Chaudhuri, National Post (Canada) "This is a captivating jewel of a novel by a seasoned and sophisticated writer... Beyond being a compelling tale of individuals, What the Body Remembers offers a gimlet-eyed view of a pluralistic society's disintegration into factionalism and anarchy. Though the events of 1947 India are a half-world and half-century away, in light of the religious and ethnic turmoil raging on earth, they still have much to teach us." --Washington Post Out of the brutal drama of Partition comes a rich, eloquent, and stunningly accomplished literary debut... It is 1937 in a small village in Punjab, India, the beginning of the tense and tumultuous decade that will culminate in the violent and still controversial Partition between India and Pakistan. Roop is a young girl whose mother has died in childbirth and whose father is deep in debt. And so she is elated when she learns that she is to become the second wife of a wealthy Sikh landowner, Sardarji, whose first wife, Satya, has failed to bear him any children. Roop initially believes that Satya, still very much in residence, will treat her as a friend or even a sister, but it quickly becomes apparent that their relationship will be far more complicated than that. Roop's story pulls the reader immediately into her world, making it seem startlingly intimate. As the novel builds, What the Body Remembers becomes Satya's story too, as she is forced to adopt ever more desperate measures to maintain her place in society and in her husband's heart. And it is also Sardarji's story, as the India he knows and understands begins to change beneath his feet. The escalating tensions in his own family reflect those of the religious and political dynamics that will lead to the cleaving of India--and trap the Sikhs in the middle of a horror wrought by the wresting of land. In a dramatic, terrifying conclusion the tragedy and strength of Roop, Satya, and Sardarji's lives reflect the greater world in which they must survive. Deeply imbued with the languages, customs, and layered history of colonial India, What the Body Remembers tells the story of the Partition for the first time from the Sikh women's point of view, reclaiming a strikingly intimate and vivid sense of the large and colorful canvas of India and Pakistan. Beautifully written and profoundly shocking, Shauna Singh Baldwin's debut novel is at once poetic, political, feminist, and sensual--a true triumph of language and storytelling. "In What the Body Remembers, with her sharp focus on women in such turmoil, Baldwin offers us a moveing and engaging look at 20th-century India's most troubled years." --New York Times Book Review

Book Approches Critiques de la Pens  e Japonaise Du XXe Si  cle

Download or read book Approches Critiques de la Pens e Japonaise Du XXe Si cle written by Livia Monnet and published by PUM. This book was released on 2001 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au XXe siècle, le Japon aura laissé sur le monde une marque indélébile. Mais au-delà des coups d'éclat culturels, militaires et économiques, le pays du soleil levant est le lieu d'une pensée où la modernité est à la fois l'enjeu et l'acteur de profonds débats. Cet ouvrage rassemble des articles de chercheurs provenant de six pays, incluant le Canada, les États-Unis, le Japon et la France. Leurs contributions sont autant d'incursions dans ce riche territoire qu'est la modernité japonaise. De l'histoire de l'art du début du siècle au système d'esclavage sexuel, de la citoyenneté des femmes à l'époque impériale aux positions totalitaires de Watsuji Tetsuro, proches de celles de Heidegger, l'histoire du Japon moderne est ici réexaminée dans ce qu'elle a de plus fondamental. Ce qui unifie ces articles malgré la diversité de leurs approches et méthodologies (philosophie, littérature, sciences naturelles, géographie, entre autres), c'est une volonté constante de repenser le nationalisme culturel et son rôle dans la construction de la modernité japonaise, ainsi qu'un questionnement sérieux des paradigmes mêmes de l'histoire des idées.
