Colonizer and Colonized
Over the last two decades, the experiences of colonization and decolonization, once safely relegated to the margins of what occupied students of history and literature, have shifted into the latter's center of attention, in the West as elsewhere. This attention does not restrict itself to the historical dimension of colonization and decolonization, but also focuses upon their impact upon the present, for both colonizers and colonized. The nearly fifty essays here gathered examine how literature, now and in the past, keeps and has kept alive the experiences - both individual and collective - of colonization and decolonization. The contributors to this volume hail from the four corners of the ...
Les grains de sable seront doux comme le sucre
"Cet ouvrage offre la possibilité aux nombreux chercheurs qui apprécient l'attachante personnalité et l'oeuvre scientifique de Bernadette Mimoso-Ruiz, de contribuer à l'approfondissement, au renouvellement et au traitement parfois original de thèmes qu'elle a abordés durant sa carrière de comparatiste : l'oeuvre polysémique de Le Clézio, la récurrence de l'île, de l'enfance, des rapports qui unissent, dans son oeuvre, la vérité, le rêve et le mythe ; les interactions entre cinéma, littérature, histoire, et même bande dessinée, plus particulièrement dans les domaines technique et esthétique, formel et intellectuel ; la littérature française du XIXe et du XXe siècle.

Tattooed Memory
Tattooed Memory (La Mémoire tatouée) is the first novel of the great Moroccan critic and novelist Abdelkébir Khatibi (1938-2009). Only one other novels has been translated into English (Love In Two Languages, 1991). Khatibi belongs to the generation following the foundational generation of writers such as Driss Chraïbi. For Khatibi's generation, French colonialism is a vibrant memory - but a memory from childhood. Tattooed Memory is part bildungsroman, part anticolonial treatise, and part language experiment, and it takes us from earliest childhood memory to young adulthood.
Thou Shalt Not Speak My Language
It has been said that the difference between and language and a dialect is that a language is a dialect with an army. Both the act of translation and bilingualism are steeped in a tension between surrender and conquest, yielding conscious and unconscious effects on language. Thou Shall Not Speak My Language explores this tension in his address of the dynamics of literary influence and canon formation within the Arabic literary tradition. As one of the Arab world’s most original and provocative literary critics, Kilito challenges the reader to reexamine contemporary notions of translation, bilingualism, postcoloniality, and the discipline of comparative literature. Wail S. Hassan’s superb translation makes Thou Shalt Not Speak My Language available to an English audience for the first time, capturing the charm and elegance of the original in a chaste and seemingly effortless style.
Albert Memmi, voix franco-tunisienne universelle
L'enjeu de rendre un vif hommage à Albert Memmi (1920-2020) est de taille, mais le défi a été relevé grâce à la présence et la collaboration de quarante-cinq spécialistes, critiques et chercheurs qui ont prêté leurs plumes à la réalisation de cet ambitieux projet. C'est une traversée dans le temps pour montrer le parcours humain, existentiel et intellectuel à la fois connu et méconnu de cette voix franco-tunisienne universelle qui a contribué à promouvoir une parole libre dans le monde devenant une référence essentielle pour tous ceux qui veulent comprendre l'essence et la réalité du phénomène du colonialisme, du racisme, de la dominance et de la dépendance.
The Tongue's Blood Does Not Run Dry
What happens when catastrophe becomes an everyday occurrence? Each of the seven stories in Assia Djebar’s The Tongue’s Blood Does Not Run Dry reaches into the void where normal and impossible realities coexist. All the stories were written in 1995 and 1996—a time when, by official accounts, some two hundred thousand Algerians were killed in Islamist assassinations and government army reprisals. Each story grew from a real conversation on the streets of Paris between the author and fellow Algerians about what was happening in their native land. Contemporary events are joined on the page by classical themes in Arab literature, whether in the form of Berber texts sung by the women of the Mzab or the tales from The Book of One Thousand and One Nights. The Tongue’s Blood Does Not Run Dry beautifully explores the conflicting realities of the role of women in the Arab world. With renowned and unparalleled skill, Assia Djebar gives voice to her longing for a world she has put behind her.
