Citizenship and Belonging in France and North America
The first decades of the new millennium have been marked by major political changes. Although The West has wished to revisit internal and international politics concerning migration policies, refugee status, integration, secularism, and the dismantling of communitarianism, events like the Syrian refugee crisis, the terrorist attacks in France in 2015-2016, and the economic crisis of 2008 have resurrected concepts such as national identity, integration, citizenship and re-shaping state policies in many developed countries. In France and Canada, more recent public elections have brought complex democratic political figures like Emmanuel Macron and Justin Trudeau to the public eye. Both leaders...
Artistic (Self)-Representations of Islam and Muslims
Artistic (Self)-Representations of Islam and Muslims: Perspectives Across France and the Maghreb is a collection of essays that explores the question of artistic representation(s)/self-representation(s) of Muslim religious and cultural identity in France, the Maghreb and in/between since the 2000s. The volume offers a plurality of feminine and masculine voices and points of view on cultural Islam (Franco-French, Franco-Maghrebi, Maghrebi), all the while addressing the impact of events like 9/11, the tragic attacks in France in 2015-2016 (Charlie Hebdo, Stade de France, Bataclan, Nice), and the Arab Spring. Taken together, the volume features a transnational and transversal set of artistic vo...
Comics and Migration
Comics and human mobility have a long history of connections. This volume explores these entanglements with a focus on both how comics represent migration and what applied uses comics have in relation to migration. The volume examines both individual works of comic art and examples of practical applications of comics from across the world. Comics are well-suited to create understanding, highlight truthful information, and engender empathy in their audiences, but are also an art form that is preconditioned or even limited by its representational and practical conventions. Through analyses of various practices and representations, this book questions the uncritical belief in the capacity of co...
Narratives of Motherhood and Mothering in Fiction and Life Writing
This open access volume offers original essays on how motherhood and mothering are represented in contemporary fiction and life writing across several national contexts. Providing a broad range of perspectives in terms of geopolitical places, thematic concerns, and theoretical and interdisciplinary approaches, it demonstrates the significance of literary narratives for understanding and critiquing motherhood and mothering as social phenomena and subjective experiences. The chapters contextualize motherhood and mothering in terms of their particular national and cultural location and analyze narratives about mothers who are firmly placed in one national context, as well as those who are in â€...
Migrant Masculinities in Women’s Writing
This book examines the representation of masculinities in contemporary texts written by women who have immigrated into France or Canada from a range of geographical spaces. Exploring works by Léonora Miano (Cameroon), Fatou Diome (Senegal), Assia Djebar, Malika Mokeddem (Algeria), Ananda Devi (Mauritius), Ying Chen (China) and Kim Thúy (Vietnam), this study charts the extent to which migration generates new ways of understanding and writing masculinities. It draws on diverse theoretical perspectives, including postcolonial theory, affect theory and critical race theory, while bringing visibility to the many women across various historical and geographical terrains who write about (im)migration and the impact on men, even as these women, too, acquire a different position in the new society.
Solid/taires :Féminismes et sororités dans les productions artistiques françaises et francophones
Depuis des décennies, les écrivain/es, cinéastes, artistes et autres s’intéressent à la problématique féminine dans leurs productions artistiques. Leurs productions narratives variées mettent en discussion les termes de féminismes et de sororités dans des contextes culturels et politiques divers. Notre livre se propose d’explorer les différents aspects de la solidarité féminine et du féminisme, des combats individuels et communs des femmes et de leur affirmation sociale à travers les époques et les divers continents. Le livre est conçu comme une approche diachronique, interdisciplinaire et intergénérationnelle à la thématique des féminismes contemporains vus à trav...
Des lieux de culture : Altérités croisées, mobilités et mémoires identitaires
Le lieu est de ces objets de recherche et de questionnement, urgent à penser au vu des défis planétaires, qui préoccupent plus d'un esprit et interpellent plus d'un champ de connaissance. L'importance du lieu prend racine, du moins dans l'histoire récente du monde, dans les conflits internationaux, dans la précarité des vies individuelles, dans les destins particuliers d'êtres de génie, dans les flux humains transterritoriaux, dans les logiques d'hégémonie et de dominations réelles ou symboliques entre instances de pouvoir, de discours ou d'autorité. Sous toutes ses représentations, le lieu est globalement l'occasion d'une transfiguration de la signification première de l'espace physique et de la relation entre les hommes. Il en ressort que le lieu est un espace performé. Si bien qu'il n'existerait pas de lieu sans un événement qui le marque, sans action, passion, désir, rapport de force ou interprétation, qui le sorte du silence du monde réel.
