This book is a collection of essays from the conference Re/membering Place, held at Stendhal University from 13 to 15 October 2011. It explores the issue of Re/membering Place in a colonial and postcolonial context of displacement, loss, and alienation. The authors consider re/membering as a process of reconstruction which entails the recreation of memory, be it individual or collective, the re-appropriation of the past and of collective myths, the reshaping of identity, and their representation in literature and the arts. They tackle various forms of story-telling in fiction, autobiography, the travel narrative, the memoir, historiography as well as cinema. Further, they analyse how memory and personal testimonies serve to fill in the blanks of historical discourse, to give voice to a forgotten community, revisit historiography and question the canon of Western culture. Through the exploration of richly diverse geographies and cultures throughout the world, from the Indian subcontinent to the Atlantic landscapes of Canada and the Caribbean, and the open spaces of Africa and Australia, this collection of essays introduces the reader to the crucial identity issues and problems raised in narratives today.

Borders separate but also connect self and other, and literary texts not only enact these bordering processes, but form part of such processes. This book gestures towards a borderless world, stepping, as it were, with thousand-mile boots from south to north (even across the Atlantic), from South Africa to Scandinavia. It also shows how literary texts model and remodel borders and bordering processes in rich and meaningful local contexts. The essays assembled here analyse the crossing and negotiation of borders and boundaries in works by Nadine Gordimer, Ingrid Winterbach, Deneys Reitz, Janet Suzman, Marlene van Niekerk, A.S. Byatt, Thomas Harris, Frank A. Jenssen, Eben Venter, Antjie Krog, and others under different signs or conceptual points of attraction. These signs include a spiritual turn, eventfulness, self-understanding, ethnic and linguistic mobilization, performative chronotopes, the grotesque, the carceral, the rhetorical, and the interstitial.

La notion de « postcolonial » est aujourd’hui une notion dominante, ancienne, largement critiquée pour son imprécision, largement utilisée, en débat — dans des perspectives qui restent des perspectives anticoloniales —, en concurrence avec les notions de « littératuremonde », de « world literature ». Les essais ici réunis font le point sur ces débats en proposant un état de la question, en considérant le doublet « Littérature locale, littérature-monde », les critiques mêmes de la notion, et en indiquant que le postcolonial est parfois une manière d’indiquer un au-delà de l’histoire — ce qui est paradoxal au regard de l’usage prévalent de la notion. Les littératures contemporaines de l’Inde, les œuvres d’Abdelwahab Meddeb, d’Alain Mabanckou, d’Abdourahman Waberi, de Derek Walcott et d’Édouard Glissant offrent les appuis textuels de cette révision de la notion de « postcolonial ».
