"The Future of Postcolonial Studies celebrates the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of The Empire Writes Back by the now famous troika - Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffiths and Helen Tiffin. When The Empire Writes Back first appeared in 1989, it put postcolonial cultures and their post-invasion narratives on the map. This vibrant collection of fifteen chapters by both established and emerging scholars taps into this early mapping while merging these concerns with present trends which have been grouped as: comparing, converting, greening, post-queering and utopia. The postcolonial is a centrifugal force that continues to energize globalization, transnational, diaspora, area and queer studies. Spanning the colonial period from the 1860s to the present, The Future of Postcolonial Studies ventures into other postcolonies outside of the Anglophone purview. In reassessing the nation-state, language, race, religion, sexuality, the environment, and the very idea of 'the future, ' this volume reasserts the notion that postcolonial is an "anticipatory discourse" and bears testimony to the driving energy and thus the future of postcolonial studies"--

Une lecture de l'oeuvre d'A. Kourouma envisagée sous l'angle de son engagement politique. Elle suggère que l'écrivain ivoirien fait un usage critique de la langue française pour continuer le combat de la décolonisation, notamment des esprits, en agissant sur les plans linguistique et culturel. Dans un contexte postcolonial, il propose une remise en question de la politique africaine de la France.

Topics covered include: North African identity in France; cultural citizenship and the Asian diaspora; novels of beur self-identity by Maghrebi immigrants in France; Scottish fiction, Britain and Empire; memory, amnesia, and the re-invention of the past in South Africa, the Caribbean and elsewhere; borders, necrophilia and history in Southern African fiction; encodings of female control; spectating in black documentary cinema; theatre, performance, and the Western presence in Africa; masks, history, transtextuality, and other aspects of Irish poetry and drama; the masking and unmasking of identity in the African-American novel; violence and Titus Andronicus in black Nova Scotian poetry; notions of the national and of indigeneity in contemporary Canadian drama; Native Canadians, space, and the city. Authors and artists treated include: William Boyd; André Brink; George Elliott Clarke; David Dabydeen; Ralph Ellison; Bessie Head; Seamus Heaney; Tomson Highway; Isaac Julien; Daniel David Moses; Paul Muldoon; Albert Murray; Jean Rhys; Sir Walter Scott; Robert Louis Stevenson; Richard Wright; and W.B.

The 2007 manifesto in favour of a 'LitteÌrature-monde en francÌʹais' has generated new debates in both 'francophone' and 'postcolonial' studies. Praised by some for breaking down the hierarchical division between 'French' and 'Francophone' literatures, the manifesto has been criticized by others for recreating that division through an exoticizing vision that continues to privilege the publishing industry of the former colonial meÌtropole. Does the manifesto signal the advent of a new critical paradigm destined to render obsolescent those of 'francophone' and/or 'postcolonial' studies? Or is it simply a passing fad, a glitzy but ephemeral publicity stunt generated and promoted by writers and publishing executives vis-aÌ€-vis whom scholars and critics should maintain a skeptical distance? Does it offer an all-embracing transnational vista leading beyond the confines of postcolonialism or reintroduce an incipient form of neocolonialism even while proclaiming the end of the centre/periphery divide? In addressing these questions, leading scholars of 'French', 'Francophone' and 'postcolonial' studies from around the globe help to assess the wider question of the evolving status of French Studies as a transnational field of study amid the challenges of globalization.

Si la construction de l'Extrême-Orient par les écrivains occidentaux est un fait littéraire largement étudié, bien rares sont les explorations des œuvres orientalistes d'auteurs eux-mêmes issus des anciennes colonies. Avertissement à qui s'attendrait à découvrir ici une prose subversive, ou simplement une vision plus réaliste du Vietnam de l'époque coloniale : quelques surprises l'attendent. Souvent, en effet, les romanciers ont fait leurs les clichés de l'orientalisme métropolitain. La construction de l'Autre ne se fait pas à sens unique, et l'invention de l'Occident par des auteurs d'Asie est aussi un phénomène fascinant. Là encore, on s'étonnera de voir que les oppositions simplistes entre culture et nature, matérialisme et spiritualité ou vitalité et passivité ne furent pas tant remises en cause que simplement renversées. Certains romans vietnamiens francophones « occidentalistes » se révèlent en cela tout aussi stéréotypés que leurs contre-modèles. Entre la vision de l'Orient comme un continent incapable de survivre sans la présence des Français et celle qui réduit l'Occident à une machine de conquête sans âme, y a-t-il eu une voie médiane ? Oui, et Ching Selao nous convainc sans peine que ces romans de l'entre-deux participent d'une désorientation discursive bien plus féconde pour l'imaginaire et la réflexion critique.
