This book explores the formative correlations and inventive transmissions of Anglophone Arab representations ranging from early 20th century Mahjar writings to contemporary transnational Palestinian resistance art. Tracing multiple beginnings and seminal intertexts, the comparative study of dissonant truth-making presents critical readings in which the notion of cross-cultural translation gets displaced and strategic unreliability, representational opacity, or matters of act advance to essential qualities of the discussed works' aesthetic devices and ethical concerns. Questioning conventional interpretive approaches, Markus Schmitz shows what Anglophone Arab studies are and what they can become from a radically decentered relational point of view. Among the writers and artists discussed are such diverse figures as Rabih Alameddine, William Blatty, Kahlil Gibran, Ihab Hassan, Jabra Ibrahim Jabra, Emily Jacir, Walid Raad, Ameen Rihani, Edward Said, Larissa Sansour, and Raja Shehadeh.

S’il est un courant qui a animé les sciences humaines au cours des dernières décennies, c’est bien celui des théories postcoloniales. Vaste nébuleuse discutée à travers le monde, leur essor doit beaucoup à quelques figures majeures qui ont en commun d’enseigner la littérature anglaise et comparée dans des universités anglo-saxonnes, principalement nord-américaines, tout en étant originaires d’autres continents. Ce livre collectif explore l’incidence des (auto-)biographies transculturelles des théoriciens postcoloniaux sur leur œuvre théorique, et plus particulièrement sur la comparaison littéraire qui en forme le cœur historique. De New York à Hong-Kong, d’Oxford à Yaoundé, les auteurs de l’ouvrage proviennent eux-mêmes d’horizons divers et témoignent ainsi en actes des voyages du comparatisme postcolonial.
