ISBN: 9780745335148 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "In overthrowing me, you have done no more than cut down the trunk of the tree of the black liberty in St. Domingue--it will spring back from the roots, for they are numerous and deep." These are Toussaint Louverture's last words before being taken to prison in France. Heroic leader of the only successful slave revolt in history, Louverture is one of the greatest anti-imperialist fighters who ever lived.

Postcolonial Thought in the French Speaking World
ISBN: 9781846310553 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 357 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the late 1990's, Postcolonial Studies risked imploding as a credible area of academic enquiry. Repeated anthologization and an overemphasis on the English-language literatures led to sustained critiques of the field and to an active search for alternative approaches to the globalized and transnational formations of the post-colonial world. In the early twenty-first century, however, postcolonial began to reveal a new openness to its comparative dimensions. French-language contributors to postcolonial debate (such as Edouard Glissant and Abdelkebir Khatibi) have recently risen to greater...

Travel in Twentieth-Century French and Francophone Cultures: The Persistence of Diversity
ISBN: 9780199258291 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is one of the first studies of twentieth-century travel literature in French, tracking the form from the colonial past to the postcolonial present. Whereas most recent explorations of travel literature have addressed English-language material, Forsdick's study complements these by presenting a body of material that has previously attracted little attention, ranging from conventional travel writing to other cultural phenomena (such as the Colonial Exposition of 1931) in which changing attitudes to travel are apparent.

Framing the Penal Colony: Representing, Interpreting and Imagining Convict Transportation
ISBN: 9783031193958 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book examines the representation of penal colonies both historically and in contemporary culture, across an array of media. Exploring a range of geographies and historical instances of the penal colony, it seeks to identify how the ‘penal colony’ as a widespread phenomenon is as much ‘imagined’ and creatively instrumentalized as it pertains to real sites and populations. It concentrates on the range of ‘media’ produced in and around penal colonies both during their operation and following their closures. This approach emphasizes the role of cross-disciplinary methods and...

The Francophone Bande Dessinee
ISBN: 9789042017764 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Known as France's Ninth Art, the bande dessinee has a status far surpassing that of the equivalent English-language comic strip. This publication, one of the first predominantly in English on the subject, provides a thorough introduction to questions of BD history, context and bibliography. Theoretical issues - including the reception of the early proto-BD prior to its modern definition, approaches to the construction of a BD (presented here in BD form by leading artist Tanitoc), semiology and the reading of the current form, or the specificity of the French/US (non)overlap - complement...

Postcolonial Realms of Memory: Sites and Symbols in Modern France
ISBN: 9781802077346 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Recognized as one of the most influential studies of memory in the late twentieth century, Pierre Nora’s monumental project Les Lieux de mémoire has been celebrated for its elaboration of a ground-breaking paradigm for rethinking the relationship between the nation, territory, history and memory. It has also, however, been criticized for implying a narrow perception of national memory from which the legacy of colonialism was excluded. Driven by an increasingly critical postcolonial discourse on French historiography and fuelled by the will to acknowledge the relevance of the colonial in...
