On éprouve le besoin d'approcher la rue, unité apparemment simple dont l'intérêt est sans cesse renouvelé par les sciences humaines. La rue intrigue par cette faculté de se soustraire à un sens univoque, manifestée par le titre même du colloque : non seulement la rue dans tous ses états induit l'idée de multiplicité et de diversité mais elle soumet au regard l'expression idiomatique " dans tous ses états " traduisant la quiétude rompue et donc l'affolement, la nervosité, le bouleversement, l'anormalité, etc. Versatilité qui fait passer des états de dormance à ceux d'agitation imputables à l'Histoire et à des pratiques sociales situées. Vingt-sept auteurs venus de disciplines diverses s'emploient ici à défendre la rue et à en illustrer les usages et les fonctions.

Postcolonial studies, and the rich body of theory that it applies in its analyses, has transformed and unsettled the ways in which, across a whole range of disciplines, we think about notions such as subjectivity, national identity, globalization, history, language, literature or international politics. Until recently, the emphasis of the groundbreaking work being carried out in these areas has been almost exclusively within an Anglophone context, but increasingly the focus of postcolonial studies is shifting to a more comparative approach. One of the most intriguing developments in this shift of emphasis has been within the Francophone world, given that a number of genealogical lines of influence are now being drawn connecting the work of the three figures most associated with the emergence of postcolonial theory - Homi Bhabha, Edward Said, and Gayatri Spivak - to an earlier generation of French (predominantly 'poststructuralist') theorists. Within this emerging narrative of intellectual influences, the importance of the thought of Jacques Derrida, and the status of deconstruction generally, has been acknowledged, but has not until now been adequately accounted for. In Deconstruction and the Postcolonial, Michael Syrotinski teases out the underlying conceptual tensions and theoretical stakes of what he terms a 'deconstructive postcolonialism', and argues that postcolonial studies stands to gain ground in terms of its political forcefulness and philosophical rigour by turning back to, and not away from, deconstruction.

A partir d'une étude comparatiste d'oeuvres littéraires d'écrivains africains, français et antillais contemporains, l'auteur analyse les bouleversements qui ont résulté, en France, de la domination coloniale et postcoloniale, de l'affaiblissement de l'Etat-nation et de l'émergence de générations de jeunes exclus.

Homosexuality was and still is thought to be quintessentially 'un-African'. Yet in this book Chantal Zabus examines the anthropological, cultural and literary representations of male and female same-sex desire in a pan-African context from the nineteenth century to the present. Reaching back to early colonial contacts between Europe and Africa, and covering a broad geographical spectrum, along a north-south axis from Mali to South Africa and an east-west axis from Senegal to Kenya, here is a comparative approach encompassing two colonial languages (English and French) and some African languages. Out in Africa charts developments in Sub-Saharan African texts and contexts through the work of 7 colonial writers and some 25 postcolonial writers. These texts grow in complexity from roughly the 1860s, through the 1990s with the advent of queer theory, up to 2010. The author identifies those texts that present, in a subterraneous way at first and then with increased confidence, homosexuality-as-an-identity rather than an occasional or ritualized practice, as was the case in the early ethnographic imagination. The work sketches out an evolutionary pattern in representing male and female same-sex desire in the novel and other texts, as well as in the cultural and political contexts that oppose such desires.
