Abstract

Postcolonial Literatures in English have become a central field of research and study all over the world. This series of introductory readers covers (1) South Asian Literatures, (2) Australian, New Zealand and Pacific Literatures, (3) African Literatures, (4) Canadian Literatures, (5) Caribbean Literatures and (6) Black and Asian British Literatures. The edited collections of source materials are designed to help students and teachers in exploring the diversity of the global cultural networks which have arisen from the British Empire and Commonwealth. Each volume contains an introduction that sketches out major trends and developments in the region and provides recommendations for further reading. The specificities of each respective region are explored within a framework focussing on histories, identities, language, education, movements and genres, as well as transcultural perspectives. This second volume covers Australia, New Zealand and the Anglophone islands of the South Pacific, an area which spreads over a vast area of the globe and which - despite increased and still increasing global contacts through modern tourism, the internet and international business activities - still largely remains a relatively unknown territory for European readers. The reason for this lies not only in the geographical remoteness but also in the diversified historical recognition of the various ethnicities, societies, religions and linguistic outcomes of the British Empire. Moreover, a greater part of the more recent struggles of indigenous peoples of the region for cultural recognition has as yet hardly reached the consciousness of many European observers. This collection of texts hopes to assist the process of such deeper understanding and to foster further research and critical debates over issues raised by the cultural constellation of an area which, albeit remote, still has a great deal to offer to the rest of the world.

Abstract

In Postcolonial Past andamp; Present twelve outstanding scholars of literature, history and visual arts look to those spaces Epeli Hau’ofa has insisted are full not empty, asking what it might mean to Indigenise culture. A new cultural politics demands new forms of making and interpretation that rethink and reroute existing cultural categories and geographies. These ‘makers’ include Mukunda Das, Janet Frame, Xavier Herbert, Tomson Highway, Claude McKay, Marie Munkara, Elsje van Keppel, Albert Wendt, Jane Whiteley and Alexis Wright. Case studies from Canada to the Caribbean, India to the Pacific, and Africa, analyse the productive ways that artists and intellectuals have made sense of turbulent local and global forces. Contributors: Bill Ashcroft, Debnarayan Bandyopadhyay, Anne Brewster, Diana Brydon, Meeta Chatterjee—Padmanabhan, Anne Collett, Dorothy Jones, Kay Lawrence, Russell McDougall, Tekura Moeka’a, Tony Simões da Silva, Teresia Teaiwa, Albert Wendt, Lydia Wevers, Diana Wood Conroy

Abstract

Hitherto undiscovered yet fundamental historical and literary texts from the Pacific provide the subject matter of this collection of essays which sets out to explore the new forms of writing and hybrid identities emerging from both past and contemporary cultural contact and exchange in the 'South Seas'. This is also a weaving of the connections between Francophone and Anglophone writers long separated by colonial history. Luis Cardoso, writing in Portuguese from East Timor offers further points of contrast. The places of encounter - the beaches of Tahiti, the retelling of the texts of oral tradition, indigenous mastery of writing and appropriation of Western technology, the construction of contemporary Pacific anthologies or emerging post-colonial writing and translation - are sites of interaction and mixing that also involve negotiations of mana or power. From Pierre Loti's mythical and feminised Tahitians to Déwé Gorodé's silenced women, the outcomes of such negotiations are dynamic and different syncretisms. Two chapters reexamine the theoretical concept of hybridity from these Pacific perspectives. Les articles publiés dans le présent recueil explorent les nouvelles formes d'écriture et les identités hybrides issues du creuset des Mers du Sud. Relativement inconnus, les textes au coeur de ces articles n'en sont pas moins les oeuvres fondatrices de la région du Pacifique Sud dont ils constituent la trame historique et littéraire. Longtemps tenus à l'écart les uns des autres par l'histoire coloniale de la région, les textes d'auteurs francophones et anglophones s'enchevêtrent et se recoupent en de multiples domaines. La reprise des textes de tradition orale, l'appropriation autochtone des technologies occidentales, la création d'anthologies contemporaines et l'émergence d'une littérature postcoloniale, sont autant de sites d'interactions et de convergence qui exigent une négociation permanente entre les pouvoirs et mana en présence. C'est une nouvelle facette du concept d'hybridité que nous proposent ces études de la région Pacifique.

Abstract

Gedurende bijna vijf eeuwen overheerste Europa de wereld. Eerst Portugal en Spanje, daarna Frankrijk, Engeland en Nederland, en tenslotte ook België vestigden grote overzeese rijken. Rondom deze koloniën groeide een rijke literatuur, die talloze klassiekers opleverde, zoals bijvoorbeeld Defoes Robinson Crusoe, Camões' Os Lusíadas en Multaltuli's Max Havelaar. Vaak verhieven de Europese mogendheden hun taal tot standaardtaal voor bestuur en onderwijs in de koloniën. Gaandeweg ontwikkelde zich een literatuur in de taal van de kolonisator, maar geschreven door gekoloniseerden. In onze tijd kwamen deze postkoloniale literaturen tot grote bloei, met schrijvers als Salman Rushdie, Maryse Condé, Derek Walcott, Toni Morrison en Etienne van Heerden. Europa buitengaats is het eerste boek dat een overkoepelend overzicht biedt van deze literaire tradities, van de Indische archipel tot de Caraïben, van Zuid-Afrika tot 'the Old South'. Niet alleen komen de belangrijkste werken uitgebreid aan bod, ook wordt ingegaan op verbindende thema's als de spanning tussen kolonisator en autochtone bevolking, de fascinatie voor het onbekende en de zoektocht naar een eigen identiteit. Het resultaat is een kleurrijk en verrassend boek, waaraan de liefhebber van verre paradijzen en exotische literatuur veel genoegen zal beleven.
