Colonization and Domestic Service
This book brings together two key themes that have not been addressed together previously in any sustained way: domestic service and colonization. Existing studies of domestic service rarely make mention of colonization, but colonization offers a rich and exciting new paradigm for analysing the phenomenon of domestic labour by non-family workers, paid and otherwise. Scholars in diverse fields and disciplines here share new and stimulating insights on the various connections between domestic employment and the processes of colonization, both past and present, in a range of original essays.

Branding Brazil
Branding Brazil examines a panorama of contemporary cultural productions including film, television, photography, and alternative media to explore the transformation of citizenship in Brazil from 2003 to 2014.

Marsh asserts that three communicative strategies from branding–promising progress, cultivating buy-in, and resolving contradictions–are the most salient and recurrent practices of nation branding during this historic period. More recent political crises can be understood partly in terms of backlash against marked social and political changes introduced during the branding period. Branding Brazil takes a multi-faceted approach, weaving media studies with politics and cinema studies to reveal that more than a marketing term or project emanating from the state, branding was a cultural phenomenon.
Nous avons tous la même histoire
À l’université comme en politique, des courants radicaux traversent la scène mondiale – approche décoloniale, mouvement woke, etc. Jean-Frédéric Schaub les étudie en profondeur dans ce livre. Il examine ce qu’implique la contestation du modèle occidental de domination issu d’un passé colonialiste européen et de l’universalisme des Lumières. Mise au service de la construction de l’État-nation ou rejetée à ce titre par des mouvements militants porteurs d’identités et de conflits hérités, l’histoire en vient à masquer le passé au nom des intérêts du présent. L’histoire changerait-elle au gré de ceux qui en font le récit ? Jean-Frédéric Schaub veut lui...
