An interdisciplinary collection of essays designed to map out a wide-ranging and productive future for postcolonial studies, this volume assesses the current state of the field and points toward its most promising new developments. In addressing questions about the definition and relevance of postcolonial scholarship, many of the essays consider its relation to the study of globalization. While some contributors offer broad reflections on the existing two-way influence between postcolonial theory and established university disciplines such as literary criticism and history, others forge ahead into some vital, if nascent, areas for postcolonial research such as media studies, environmental studies, religious studies, and linguistic and semantic analysis.The contributors represent many of the fields altered by postcolonial studies over the past two decades, including literary studies, history, anthropology, Asian and African studies, and political science. They model diverse applications of postcolonial theory to Latin America, East Asia, the Middle East, and the United States. Postcolonial Studies and Beyond propels the field forward. It showcases scholars coming from intellectual precincts usually considered outside the purview of the postcolonial finding new ways to deploy classic techniques of postcolonial analysis, and scholars strongly associated with postcolonial studies offering substantial critiques designed to challenge the field's most fundamental assumptions.

L’anthropologie est-elle en crise ? On peut facilement le penser. Car, science occidentale, la définit-on par son côté ethnologique comme description et rencontre de l’autre, de préférence exotique, on s’avise alors rapidement que, dans un monde globalisé, cet autre est beaucoup plus difficile à trouver, quand il n’a pas déjà lui-même pris la plume ethnographique qu’il utilise à sa manière. La définit-on, conformément à l’étymologie, comme «science de l’homme» dédiée à faire apparaître l «unité du genre humain», et alors on se demande aussitôt, à l’âge du relativisme et du constructivisme, quel peut bien être le fantôme qu’elle voudrait saisir. De l’intérieur même, d’ailleurs, la discipline s est fragmentée et autour d’elle des compétences concurrentes lui disputent le champ de la culture (cultural studies, études interculturelles). Telles sont donc quelques-unes des questions que les textes de ce collectif affrontent. Mais ce n’est pas pour jeter l’éponge et déclarer d’ores et déjà l’anthropologie à l’agonie, loin de là. Il s’agit plutôt d’en rappeler les ressources et la mission tout en prenant acte des transformations à travers lesquelles elle est en train de passer en même temps que le monde qui est le nôtre. Une anthropologie en crise? Ayant perdu sa raison d’être ? Non, une anthropologie au défi de sa propre évolution, de son dynamisme, de ses atouts les plus forts.
