The three concepts mentioned in the title of this volume imply the contact between two or more literary phenomena; they are based on similarities that are related to a form of ‘travelling’ and imitation or adaptation of entire texts, genres, forms or contents. Transfer comprises all sorts of ‘travelling’, with translation as a major instrument of transferring literature across linguistic and cultural barriers. Transfer aims at the process of communication, starting with the source product and its cultural context and then highlighting the mediation by certain agents and institutions to end up with inclusion in the target culture. Reception lays its focus on the receiving culture, esp...
1962-2012. Cinquante ans ont passé depuis les accords d’Evian, la proclamation de l’indépendance de l’Algérie et la fin de celle qu’en France on appelle désormais officiellement la « guerre d’Algérie ». Car si du côté algérien il fut très vite question de guerre (« Guerre de libération nationale »), dans l’Hexagone, on préféra longtemps évoquer les « événements d’Algérie ». Guerre dite « sans nom », au moins du côté français, elle n’a en revanche jamais été sans mots. Au contraire, de part et d’autre de la Méditerranée, des voix se sont élevées pendant mais aussi après ces combats d’une rare violence, pour témoigner, interroger et transm...
"This book highlights both the thematic and aesthetic aspects of a reflection built around the episteme of the new horizons of feminist and feminist literature in Africa. The ideological process of the genre is offered in reading under the geo-poetic lenses of the spaces of Central Africa, North and West. The authors' reflection is intended to be dynamic and indicative of a process of questioning the "socio-critical" contours of the African literary field in its androcentric trajectory. While camping their analysis on the banks of comparatism, Marcelline Nnomo Zanga and Pierre Suzanne Eyenga Onana examined the landscape of poetic neo-feminization according to the paradigm of emergence, aesthetics and ideology."--

Writing the Black Decade: Conflict and Criticism in Francophone Algerian Literature examines how literature—and the way we read, classify, and critique literature—impacts our understanding of the world at a time of conflict. Using the bitterly-contested Algerian Civil War as a case study, Joseph Ford argues that, while literature is frequently understood as an illuminating and emancipatory tool, it can, in fact, restrain our understanding of the world during a time of crisis and further entrench the polarized discourses that lead to conflict in the first place. Ford demonstrates how Francophone Algerian literature, along with the cultural and academic criticism that has surrounded it, has mobilized visions of Algeria over the past thirty years that often belie the complex and multi-layered realities of power, resistance, and conflict in the region. Scholars of literature, history, Francophone studies, and international relations will find this book particularly useful.
The revolutionary and psychiatrist Frantz Fanon was a foundational figure in postcolonial and decolonial thought and practice, yet his psychiatric work still has only been studied peripherally. That is in part because most of his psychiatric writings have remained untranslated. With a focus on Fanon’s key psychiatry texts, Frantz Fanon: Psychiatry and Politics considers Fanon’s psychiatic writings as materials anticipating as well as accompanying Fanon’s better known work, written between 1952 and 1961 (Black Skin, White Masks, A Dying Colonialism, Toward the African Revolution, The Wretched of the Earth). Both clinical and political, they draw on another notion of psychiatry that inte...
