Anticolonial Form
Raza examines key literary journals published in French, English, and Portuguese by African writers in Europe in the period of decolonization mainly between 1940 and 1970, to understand how writers understood Empire as a political and cultural structure, and what conceptions of freedom, culture, and society underpinned anti-colonial thinking.
Postcolonialism and Migration in French Comics
Profound analysis of French comics through a postcolonial lens Postcolonialism and migration are major themes in contemporary French comics and have roots in the Algerian War (1954–62), antiracist struggle, and mass migration to France. This volume studies comics from the end of the formal dismantling of French colonial empire in 1962 up to the present. French cartoonists of ethnic-minority and immigrant heritage are a major focus, including Zeina Abirached (Lebanon), Yvan Alagbé (Benin), Baru (Italy), Enki Bilal (former Yugoslavia), Farid Boudjellal (Algeria and Armenia), José Jover (Spain), Larbi Mechkour (Algeria), and Roland Monpierre (Guadeloupe). The author analyzes comics representing a gamut of perspectives on immigration and postcolonial ethnic minorities, ranging from staunch defense to violent rejection. Individual chapters are dedicated to specific artists, artistic collectives, comics, or themes, including avant-gardism, undocumented migrants in comics, and racism in far-right comics.

Imaginaires du rail
Le rail est historiquement équivoque, ayant permis aussi bien le meilleur que le pire de nos aventures (inter) nationales. Nous lui devons le développement de la révolution industrielle, la propagation de certains idéaux révolutionnaires et démocratiques, le moyen de fuir la misère ou la guerre, comme on l’a encore vu tout au début du conflit qui oppose la Russie à l’Ukraine, avec ces trains dans lesquels des Ukrainiens, surtout femmes et enfants, essayaient de monter pour se mettre à l’abri et rejoindre la Pologne. La même Pologne justement où, tout comme en Italie, en France et ailleurs, de bien sinistres trains de la mort concouraient logistiquement à la « solution finale » lors de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale.
What Forms Can Do
How does form propose a bridge between the text and the world beyond? This volume investigates the agency of form across a spectrum of twentieth- and twenty-first century French and Francophone writings, renewing the engagement with form that has been a key feature of French cultural production and of analysis in French studies.

Redenção e Escatologia. Estudos de Filosofia, Religião, Literatura e Arte na Cultura Portuguesa – VOL. III – Idade Contemporânea – TOMO 3
O terceiro volume de Redenção e Escatologia contém a investigação realizada no âmbito de um projeto interdisciplinar sobre os temas da salvação do homem e da consumação do mundo na cultura portuguesa da contemporaneidade. A reflexão do terceiro tomo destaca o inconformismo dos nossos escritores com a ordem social e religiosa de uma época de antagonismo e conflito entre a fé e a ciência, a espiritualidade e a racionalidade, que inclui a denúncia dos males morais da Igreja e do poder político e inclui a justificação pelas opções do monoteísmo cristão, do politeísmo pagão, do ateísmo, do deísmo, do agnosticismo ou do panteísmo. Apresenta a importância da linguagem poética na experiência da espiritualidade, como meio adequado para dizer a relação do homem com Deus, que já não surge de modo objetivo e evidente, sob as formas dogmáticas de fideísmo ou sob as formas míticas e teosóficas de absoluta imanência, mas apenas se vislumbra na ausência mistérica de uma silenciosa presença.
