L’œuvre d’Ousmane Sembène est devenue un vecteur de lutte sociale dans l’Afrique postcoloniale suite à l’émergence de problèmes sociaux et politiques endémiques à la postcolonie. De ce chaos est également né Le dernier de l’Empire, un roman dans lequel Sembène explore l’utilisation de l’émeute dans les luttes de classe africaines. Cet article examine comment Sembène représente cette émeute dans le roman comme un outil efficace pour le prolétariat dans la lutte des classes au Sénégal, tout en la décrivant comme une conséquence délibérée de la répression violente orchestrée par la bourgeoisie co

Muhsin Jassim Al-Musawi’s book offers a fresh contribution not only tostudies in Arabic literature but also to postcolonial critique, cultural criticism,comparative literature, and cross-cultural studies.

Abstract This article explores how considerations of deep time—not just deep human histories, but inhuman ones as well—can help us re-evaluate postcolonial literary works in the wake of the Anthropocene. I focus on the representation of “lithic time” through a reading of the Martinican writer Patrick Chamoiseau’s novel Slave Old Man. Chamoiseau’s novel has had some traction in animal studies recently because of his conjoined portrayal of the mutual degradation and eventual enslavement of a human and a dog in a colonial plantation in Martinique. I argue, however, that a consideration of stones

The article is devoted to the work of the Nobel laureate in literature — British postcolonial writer with Tanzanian roots A. Gurnah. The article considers his novel Gravel Heart in the context of postcolonial discourse. As it is known, in 1970–1980s, postcolonial theory emerged as a result of the collapse of the colonial world and the influence of poststructuralist philosophy. Today in the world this theory is one of the leading theories in the study of modern literature. To study the text of the novel by A.

Abstract:

This research paper will examine the science-fiction novel Dune as a postcolonial work. Colonial history and literature that have been the central focus of postcolonial studies influenced the structure of many science-fiction novels. One of these was Herbert’s Dune (1965), which carries a colonial formula into a new fictionalized setting. However, very few postcolonial studies cross into the science-fiction novel, and fewer still consider the science-fictional element that sets it apart as a genre. Thus, this article attempts to provide a new perspective on Dune as a postcolonial novel that se

This essay argues that Daoud’s creative reworking of Albert Camus’s classic lies in the way it reframes the question of postcolonial rewriting in terms of literary affiliation – a question of choice – rather than of filiation – a question of lineage and hierarchy.

Initially, their discontent with the governance of colonial powers was principally voiced by this native class.

Naipaul intricately weaves these themes to highlight the lasting effects of colonialism on both individuals and their surroundings.

Abstract:

As a literary approach, postcolonial criticism can be used to read literary works born during the colonial period. This comes from the most basic content of postcolonial criticism, that is, the study of the colonial process (it can be traced back to the Renaissance), and the decolonization process (the process of colonialism). Indigenous cultures were re-established and prevailed again. This article approaches the novel Coolie (1936) by the Indian writer Mulk Raj Anand from the perspective of postcolonial criticism, namely from the emphasis on the anti-colonial content of this literary theory.

The aims of this study are to unfold the characteristics of self-actualization as reflected in A House for Mr. Biswas, a novel by V.S. Naipaul and to measure the range to which Mr. Biswas as a postcolonial character succeeded to reach to self-actualization. Self-actualization is a postcolonial term which indicates the desire to achieve one’s greatest potentials. The study has used the theory of Abraham Maslow who describes his concept of self-actualization in his theory of Hierarchy of Needs. The approach of this study is qualitative. V. S.

Abstract The twentieth century is witness to a revival of interest in the bildungsroman as writers, especially from postcolonies in the Global South, turn to it to reflect on concerns of history, culture, and social life in a postcolonial setting. Scholars, however, disagree regarding the nature of these reworkings. Some see them as a continuation of the original European models established by Goethe, Dickens, and other European writers. Others find such associations Eurocentric and call for more local standards of evaluation. This article examines this debate by looking closely at a version o
