This paper is focused on dealing with the spatial arrangements set in the novel in relation to the colonial power structures it symbolizes, to see how they reflect and reinforce class hierarchies. To Lamming, it is in this sense that the village itself becomes an ensemble of colonial society, where domination of land and space is constantly conjoined with all kinds of physical and symbolic power. From theory on spatiality, this paper will thus examine the crossing and intersection of race, class, and colonialism within the construction of social order as incited by Lamming’s work.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128335883/Cartographies_of_Class_Spatial_Dynamics_of_Postcolonial_Caribbean_Landscape_in_George_Lamming_s_In_the_Castle_of_My_Skin"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121934768/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128221773/Malik_Sajad_s_Munoo_A_Boy_from_Kashmir_2015_The_Graphic_novel_and_the_Tales_of_Resistance">Malik Sajad’s Munoo: A Boy from Kashmir (2015): The Graphic novel and the Tales of Resistance</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://sanskritcollegeanduniversity.academia.edu/MausumiBhattacharjee">Mausumi Sen Bhattacharjee</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2025</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">This paper intends to study Malik Sajad’s Munoo as a visual narrative text exploring vectors of the bildungsroman, autobiography, and memoir to foreground the occupational crisis of Kashmir as a conflict zone.

Operating within the parameters of<br />the black and white graphic dimensions, Sajad depicts here the angst laden journey of<br />a child growing up in the war zone with the culture of the other – Kashmiris are<br />illustrated as hanguls (the ‘endangered species’ of deer) as against the other human<br />portrayed characters.<br />The presentation aims to explore how Sajad experiments with the modal form of the<br />graphic novel to evolve a distinctive aesthetics of culture and identity that adds to the<br />problematization of the South Asian oeuvre. His representation of the rhetoric of<br />marginalized identity to represent oppression delineates how the culture of resistance<br />could be employed to enervate possible trajectories of identity. By choosing the<br />parameters of the graphic novel and the subsequent combination of the Hangul motif<br />he attempts to voice the cultural as well as ecological crises of the coerced Kashmiri<br />people subverted in their own land. In this process of representing the culture of the<br />other Sajad also underscores the ideology of resistance and subsequent emergence of<br />problematized notions of identity that would intensify and broaden the myriad edges of<br />South Asian Literature.<br />Keywords: Kashmir, occupation, culture, graphic novel, autobiography, identity, resistance</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128221773/Malik_Sajad_s_Munoo_A_Boy_from_Kashmir_2015_The_Graphic_novel_and_the_Tales_of_Resistance"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121839040/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128205140/Towards_Decolonial_Translating">Towards Decolonial Translating</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://berkeley.academia.edu/PaolaBacchetta">Paola Bacchetta</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2025, In "Fatema Mernissi For Our Times,” co-edited by Minoo.

This paper redirects the narrative focus<br />by examining Edgar Tekere’s A Lifetime of Struggle (2007)<br />and Cephas Msipa’s In Pursuit of Freedom and Justice: a<br />Memoir (2015). Attention is given to how Tekere and Msipa<br />adopt a liberal interpretation of historical events and<br />cultivate unity among political leaders through a revised<br />patriotic conception of nationhood. Through an interpretive<br />analysis of their autobiographies, this paper contends that<br />the liberal narrative presented by both texts redefines the<br />conventional storyline associated with Zimbabwe’s<br />nationalist movement and the liberation struggle. Their<br />interpretation of the past seeks to challenge the prevailing<br />version of history written on behalf of the ruling party,<br />ZANU-PF, and rectify the oversight of other participants in<br />the nationalist movement and the liberation war, previously<br />marginalised and reduced to passive subjects in historical<br />accounts. By incorporating the experiences and perspectives<br />of overlooked individuals, they strive to foster a more<br />inclusive and comprehensive understanding of Zimbabwe’s<br />history. However, it is important to re-evaluate the<br />implications of the ‘liberal’ historiography, both writers<br />espouse.I</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/128193944/The_quest_ion_of_Leaning_Towards_a_Liberal_Historiography_in_Edgar_Tekere_s_A_Lifetime_of_Struggle_2007_and_Cephas_Msipa_s_In_Pursuit_of_Freedom_and_Justice_a_Memoir_2015_"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121816121/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/128098637/CFP_Thanatic_Ethics_The_Circulation_of_Bodies_in_Migratory_Spaces_Workshop_5_Art_and_Representations_in_of_Exile_Marseille_and_Lampedusa">CFP Thanatic Ethics: The Circulation of Bodies in Migratory Spaces / Workshop #5: Art and Representations in/of Exile: Marseille and Lampedusa</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://univ-montp3.academia.edu/JMisrahibarak">Judith Misrahi-Barak</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2025</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">Migratory Spaces" explores themes related to death in migration.

Bhabha (1998), como sociedades culturalmente híbridas, “intersticiais”, emergindo nas zonas de contacto, tal como Pratt as definiu (2008) em contexto colonial. Macau funcionaria como um desses “entre-lugares”, sendo a já de si originariamente contraditória e ambígua condição macaense agonicamen- te posta à prova no contexto do final dos impérios coloniais, pelos acontecimentos que marcaram o século XX, com o anunciado regresso de Macau à China. Considerar-se-ão alguns momentos de reflexão sobre a identidade macaense em várias vozes poéticas, formulações essas marcadas por estratégias de sobrevi- vência e catarse.<br />Palavras-chave<br />Macau; crioulidade; identidade; catarse; poesia<br />Abstract<br />The condition of Creole communities is per se dramatic and dilemmatic, if one considers them in the perspective of H. Bhabha (1998), as culturally hybrid, “interstitial” societies, emerging in contact zones, as defined by Pratt (2008) in a colonial context. Macao would function as one of these “n-between places”. The already originally contradictory and ambiguous Macanese condition was agonizingly put to the test in the context of the ending of colonial empires, by the events that shaped the 20th century, with the announced return of Macao to China. We will consider the moments of reflection on identity building in various poetic voices stemmed from the Macanese community. From this enquiry it will become apparent that strategies of survival and catharsis are deeply embedded in poetic diction dealing with Macanese identity.<br />Keywords<br />Macau; creole; identity; catharsis; poetry</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/126918505/Da_dilema_tica_condic_a_o_crioula"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/120727480/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/126542266/Imperial_Echoes_A_Postcolonial_Critique_of_Rupert_Brookes_The_Soldier">Imperial Echoes: A Postcolonial Critique of Rupert Brooke's The Soldier</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://ankarabilim.academia.edu/YakutAkbay">Yakut Akbay</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, Anadolu Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">This article provides a postcolonial critique of Rupert Brooke’s First World War poem “The Soldier” (1914), revealing the underlying imperialist ideologies embedded in the poem.

Written at the beginning of the First World War, the poem epitomises patriotic enthusiasm and glorifies the idea of dying for one’s country. However, from a postcolonial perspective, the poem can be interpreted as a reflection of the colonial mindset that prevailed during Brooke’s time. The assertion that a piece of foreign land could forever be England illustrates the colonial pretensions and cultural superiority inherent in British imperialism. Brooke’s idealisation of England and the depiction of the soldier’s death as a sacrifice under the English heaven serve to morally justify colonial expansion and warfare. This perspective ignores the presence and experiences of the colonised peoples, reducing them to mere backdrops for British heroism. Furthermore, the poet’s emphasis on England’s inherent virtues such as flowers, air and rivers points to a narrative of cultural hegemony. By focusing exclusively on the British soldier’s allegiance to England and glorifying the sense of Englishness, the poem neglects the brutal realities and ethical aspects of colonialism. This study therefore argues that Rupert Brooke’s “The Soldier” employs patriotic idealism to glorify Englishness and sacrifice, which, from a postcolonial perspective, legitimizes the imperialist ideologies and cultural hegemony of British colonialism.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/126542266/Imperial_Echoes_A_Postcolonial_Critique_of_Rupert_Brookes_The_Soldier"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/120404745/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/126435016/Trans_corporeality_in_Human_Nature_Relationships_A_Posthuman_Ecocritical_Study_of_Amitav_Ghoshs_Sea_of_Poppies">Trans-corporeality in Human-Nature Relationships: A Posthuman Ecocritical Study of Amitav Ghosh's Sea of Poppies</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://bup.academia.edu/fahmidahaque">Dr. Fahmida Haque</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, FASS INQUEST</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">This study aims to explore how trans-corporeality portrays human-nature relationships in the novel, Sea of Poppies (2009) by Amitav Ghosh (1956-) through the perspective of posthuman ecocriticism.

Trans-corporeality depicts the material interconnections of humans and non-humans in the more-thanhuman world to unite human corporeality and non-human nature to posit that the environment is not separate, but rather the very substance of existence itself. The research is qualitative in design, utilizing the typology of exploratory and explanatory research with the data collection methods of content analysis and textual analysis to analyze Ghosh's work. The work, Sea of Poppies, provides a wide-ranging reflection on contemporary human experience and bodily expression to provoke new understandings of the planet in which human beings and nature are intimately connected. Under trans-corporeality, the novel promotes the epoch of the chthulucene, a spider-like or tentacular web, a multi-faceted, multispecies link of wayfarers. The posthuman and ecocritical ethics of trans-corporeality insist that even the most routine human activities impact human and nonhuman lives across vast geographic and temporal scales. In conclusion, from a posthuman ecocritical standpoint, Ghosh's novel highlights the necessity of meditating more on human/non-human ecological interaction and ecological destruction and how literary discourse has started to transform by such central concerns.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/126435016/Trans_corporeality_in_Human_Nature_Relationships_A_Posthuman_Ecocritical_Study_of_Amitav_Ghoshs_Sea_of_Poppies"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/120312614/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/126031426/%D0%9A_%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82_%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BC%D1%83_%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8E_%D0%A5%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%84%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%B0_%D0%B8_%D1%8F%D0%B7%D1%8B%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%B2_%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D1%80%D1%83%D1%81%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%8F%D0%B7%D1%8B%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B5_%D0%9A%D0%B0%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%85%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0">К пост-/ деколониальному воображению: Художественная рефлексия пространства и языка в постсоветской русскоязычной литературе Казахстана</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/DmitryMelnikov">Dmitry Melnikov</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, Qazaqstan, Казахстан, قازاقستان: Лабиринты cовременного постколониального дискурса</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">Аз есмь казах с айтысом на устах и трудной мыслью в черепной коробке.

The paper moves beyond the understanding of silence as a mere absence of speech and considers its semantic ambiguity whose interpretation is circumstantially dependent. The silences depicted in the novel are not uniform; instead, they originate from various contexts. The article aims to identify these silences, explore their origins, and analyse their potential meanings and functions; some serve as a form of communication, others result from intentional silencing or even collective trauma. The paper focuses mostly on silences produced by people around the protagonist, either intentional or imposed, which have shaped her personality and her own take on silence, specifically her lack of coverage of the revolutionary period. Even though the protagonist's silence with regard to the 25 January Revolution can be interpreted in multiple ways including but not restricted to her profound disappointment and reluctance to revisit painful memories the article argues that it can also be viewed as an expression of dissent and resistance against the official revolutionary narrative.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/125933515/Shades_of_Silence_in_Yasmine_El_Rashidi%CA%BCs_Chronicle_of_a_Last_Summer_Socio_Cultural_Dynamics_Silencing_and_Trauma"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/119889658/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/125719039/Transculturalism_and_Crises_of_Identity_in_Abdulrazak_Gurnahs_Dottie_and_The_Last_Gift">Transculturalism and Crises of Identity in Abdulrazak Gurnah's Dottie and The Last Gift.</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://sokotostateuni.academia.edu/DrNureniFadare">Dr Nureni O .

It delves into the writer's experience followed his migration from Zanzibar to United Kingdom and how the works are used as expression of the crises of identity the narrators go through in the Diaspora. The paper relies on on postcolonial theory in the interpretation of the texts. The study adopts close reading in the analysis of the selected texts and it is discovered that immigrants, especially those from Africa to Europe, are compelled to migrate by factors such as: slavery, political upheaval, economic depression or in pursuance of the education that is lacking in their home country. The immigrants are made to suffer psychological trauma and cultural alienation arising from crises of identity, racism and otherness. These undoubtedly, act as encumbrances to their sojourn in Diaspora. These factors also form the major leitmotif in their literary productions.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/125719039/Transculturalism_and_Crises_of_Identity_in_Abdulrazak_Gurnahs_Dottie_and_The_Last_Gift"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/119711085/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/125596874/Theme_of_Racism_Othello_by_William_Shakespeare_Hanane_ES_Saheby">Theme of Racism Othello by William Shakespeare Hanane ES Saheby</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/HANANEESSAHEBY">HANANE ES- SAHEBY</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, Academia.edu</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">In the gallery of existence, where every soul paints its story, racism is the rogue brushstroke that stains the canvas of unity, turning vibrant diversity into a grayscale of injustice.

Dicho esto, entonces, puede pensarse en algo “más allá del Sur”? Será pertinente un desarmado de brújulas, mapas, cartografías, que suponen ya esa espacialidad originaria?  Podríamos colocarnos más allá de la imaginación cultural que construye el Sur como región utópica, suerte de anti-espacio reservorio de vías alternativas a nuestros dramas existenciales? Se ilustra aquí la posibilidad de explorar lugares del mundo que parecen “caerse del mapa” del Sur geográfico y epistemológico, donde pueden reconocerse procesos conceptuales y clasificatorios de la modernidad que, de hecho, en lo concreto encarnan múltiples modernidades. La exploración de campo refiere a  (a) poblaciones indígenas de la Argentina, con énfasis en los Qom/Tobas del Chaco argentino y su concepción shamánica del poder y la vida;  (b) a fronteras histórico-míticas de Nueva Zelanda donde la aparición de supuestos animales extintos corporiza sueños y percepciones de un pasado que la colonización inglesa  estaba disolviendo; y finalmente, (c) a la historia de la ruta 1 de Níger que abrió los sellos del horizonte mítico-histórico local, cuya dinámica de movilidad vial más fluida, provocó  el aumento de dramas ambientales y confusión en los mundos espirituales. Los tres casos muestran las complejas urgencias de la condición humana en devenires históricos particulares, uno de los elementos arquetípicos de la inmensa obra de J.M. Coetzee que aquí nos convoca, los que ameritan una reflexión crítica sobre los mapas político-conceptuales desde los cuales cartografiamos el mundo y las culturas como artefactos históricos efímeros pero significativos. <br /><br /><br /><br />English<br />In this paper, I offer an anthropological critique of some troubling elements that cross contemporary discussions of the geopolitics of knowledge, in which "the South" functions as the cardinal axis of a political and cultural critique of " the "North" represented by Euro-American ethnocentrism.  Within this panorama, the idea of the South itself seems to depend on a cardinal, hemispheric and conceptual positioning supported by these Eurocentric cartographies of power. So can you imagine something that is "beyond the South"? Does it make sense to defuse the compasses, maps and cartographies that already represent this primordial spatiality? Could we position ourselves beyond the cultural imagination that constructs the South as a utopian region, a kind of anti-spatial reservoir for alternative paths to our existential dramas? Here, the possibility of exploring places in the world that seem to "fall "off the map" of the geographical and epistemological South is illustrated, where conceptual and classificatory processes of modernity can be recognized, which in fact concretely embody several modernities. The fieldwork relates (a) to the indigenous peoples of Argentina, focusing on the Qom/Toba of the Chaco region and their shamanic conception of power and life; (b) to the historico-mythical frontiers of New Zealand, where the emergence of supposedly extinct animals embodies dreams and imaginings of a past that was dissolved by British colonization; and finally (c) to the story of Niger's Route 1, which opened the seals of the mytho-historical horizon whose dynamics of road mobility caused environmental drama and confusion in the spiritual worlds. The three cases reveal the complex urgencies of the human condition in specific historical contexts, one of the archetypal elements of J.M. Coetzee’s immense body of work that call us here, deserving critical reflection on political-conceptual maps of the world and cultures as ephemeral but meaningful historical artifacts.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/125386749/M%C3%A1s_all%C3%A1_del_sur_Una_cr%C3%ADtica_antropol%C3%B3gica_de_las_cartograf%C3%ADas_hegem%C3%B3nicas_de_la_cultura_Beyond_the_South_An_anthropological_critique_of_the_hegemonic_cartographies_of_culture_"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/119498923/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/124795937/Per_una_introduzione_critica_ad_una_letteratura_postcoloniale_italiana">Per una introduzione critica ad una letteratura postcoloniale italiana</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://unimelb.academia.edu/AliAhad">Ali M Ahad</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, Rivista Filosofia e Questioni Pubbliche</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">Il post-coloniale come discorso, presuppone, com'è logico sia, la preesistenza di un'esperienza coloniale, vissuta o ereditata.

This tree, embodying the essence of nature and its timeless wisdom, would <br />provide a unique viewpoint. Drawing on its inherent qualities, the tree might advise the <br />woman to harness her inner strength and resilience, much like how it withstands harsh <br />elements. Her struggles could be seen as opportunities for growth, akin to the way a tree <br />becomes stronger through its battles with the environment. The tree could also illuminate <br />the concept of navigating life’s cycles and systems, resonating with Foucault’s ideas on <br />societal structures and power dynamics. Just as the tree is an integral part of the natural <br />cycle, the protagonist could be guided to understand and potentially subvert the systems in <br />which she is entangled. Awareness and conscious action could be another insight drawn from <br />the tree’s perspective, echoing Foucault’s emphasis on knowledge and power. By recognizing <br />and moving beyond oppressive patterns, much like a tree shedding its old leaves, the woman <br />could adopt new, liberating behaviors and beliefs. Emphasizing symbiotic relationships <br />could be a key suggestion, in line with how a tree relies on and contributes to its ecosystem. <br />This approach could guide the woman in building a network of supportive, mutually <br />beneficial relationships, empowering her in her journey toward freedom. Patience and the <br />art of observation, inherent to the tree’s existence, could be recommended as essential <br />strategies. Careful observation and thoughtful action could mirror Foucault’s ideas on the <br />subtle mechanisms of power and resistance. Lastly, the tree might highlight the importance <br />of connecting with nature, providing a space for reflection and clarity.

In summary, through the lens of Sciascia’s storytelling <br />and Foucault’s philosophical framework, the tree – with its resilience, wisdom, and deep <br />connection to life’s cycles – could offer a metaphorical guide to the protagonist, suggesting <br />ways to find inner strength, growth, and freedom from oppressive forces.<br /><br />Environment, Feminist Theory, Leonardo Sciascia, Michel Foucault, Power <br />Dynamics</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/124133979/THROUGH_THE_TREE_S_EYES_WOMEN_FOUCAULT_AND_NATURE_IN_SCIASCIA_S_WORLD"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/118412672/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/124097107/Decolonizing_Character_Representation_A_Postcolonial_Analysis_of_Race_Swapping_in_Disneys_The_Little_Mermaid_Movie_2023">Decolonizing Character Representation: A Postcolonial Analysis of Race-Swapping in Disney's The Little Mermaid Movie (2023</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/TanoAndreas">Andreas Tano</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, Boanerges: Makarios Education Journal</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">This article investigates the implications of race-swapping character representation in the 2023 live-action adaptation of Disney's "The Little Mermaid," focusing on the casting of Halle Bailey, a Black actress, as Ariel.

Utilizing postcolonial criticism frameworks, particularly Robert J.C. Young's theories, this study explores the historical and cultural significance of this casting decision. The findings suggest that the movie's approach to race-swapping serves as a means to challenge and redefine traditional racial narratives within popular media. The research identifies three primary outcomes: 1) Reimagining racial roles is exemplified in the movie by the casting of a Black actress in a traditionally white role disrupts conventional racial representations, prompting viewers to reconsider the historical association of race with specific characters and roles. 2) The race-swapping encourages viewers a re-evaluation of historical narratives in the story, deepening the audience's understanding and allowing for a more inclusive perspective of the past of different racial groups. 3) Upon promoting racial inclusivity and diversity, the movie strives to prioritize the significance of acknowledging the historical experiences of the marginalized societies in an effort not to be forgotten or eliminated. The movie approach leads to dual perspectives and biases: promoting inclusivity while also at the same time reimagining historical issues related to race. Consequently, this study highlights the importance of critically engaging with media representations to foster a more inclusive and representative cultural landscape by examining its historical biases. The movie's innovative approach to character representation encourages the need for ongoing dialogue about the intersections of race, history, and societal roles in contemporary media</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/124097107/Decolonizing_Character_Representation_A_Postcolonial_Analysis_of_Race_Swapping_in_Disneys_The_Little_Mermaid_Movie_2023"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/118383969/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/124096435/Boanerges_Makarios_Education_Journal_Vol_2_No_1_2024_">Boanerges: Makarios Education Journal, Vol.2 No.1 (2024)</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/boanergesjournal">Boanerges Makarios Education Journal</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, Boanerges</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">"Boanerges" (p ISSN 3025-3934, e ISSN 3025-3020) is an official school journal that emphasizes research, development, and innovation in the field of education.

This essay assesses the role that trauma studies, as an interdisciplinary area of investigation that came to prominence in the early-to-mid-1990s, has played in assessing the ways that injury is troped, represented, and repeated in southern literature and its criticism. This essay first outlines the history of trauma as a theory, drawing attention to the fissures within the concept as it has developed over time, while also surveying the surge of works published under this rubric. The essay then assesses how trauma studies, with its attention to the nuances of testimony, the interlocked nature of personal and political traumas, and the importance of collective and cultural perspectives, has come to influence criticism on the literature of the U.S. South. Southern literature and its criticism have long recognized the roles that memory, trauma, and history play in the development of culture, but criticism about "the mind of the South" has historically been problematic: riddled by Oedipal anxieties and fascinations, much of this work has served to replay and reinforce the notion that, as Faulkner put it, "The past is never dead. It's not even past" (81). 1 Yet in the wake of postmodern and postcolonial studies, gender studies, and trauma and memory studies, southern studies has recently begun to reexamine its own historical construction, representation, and development, questioning notions of self-identity, history, and community, and complicating what it means to remember. Drawing on trauma studies, which bequeaths a theoretical framework and methodology to southern studies' key concepts of "memory" and "history," has been an increasingly popular move, especially within the theoretically inflected "New Southern Studies." 2 This essay briefly historicizes and surveys the rise of contemporary trauma theory, notes the impact that these theories have had on southern literary criticism, evaluates the role that depictions of injury play in the literature of the South, and assesses the usefulness of trauma theory for understanding events such as slavery, segregation, racism, and political violence. To historicize and contextualize trauma means recognizing the fissures within the concept and understanding the limitations of it as a descriptive term and organizing category. While the term "trauma" originally had a physical meaningit comes from the ancient Greek word for "wound" and its primary denotation is invasive bodily injuryin modernity, through the work of Jean-Martin Charcot, Pierre Janet, Joseph Breuer, and Sigmund Freud, it accrued mental as well as physical meanings and came to refer to both individual and collective processes. As Judith Herman (1992) has noted, trauma has had a history of "episodic amnesia" because "the subject provokes such intense controversy that it periodically becomes anathema" (7); as she remarks, it periodically erupts into public consciousness in conjunction with certain charged social and political movements. As a history of the term reveals, trauma is a concept closely tied to modernity. The professional codification of the concept came largely from four main branches of medical thinking:</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/124060487/Trauma_Studies_and_the_Literature_of_the_U_S_South"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/118355572/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/124006198/The_Animal_Other_Revisiting_Edward_Albees_The_Zoo_Storys_Jerry_and_Peter_from_a_Postcolonial_Lens">The Animal Other: Revisiting Edward Albee's The Zoo Story's Jerry and Peter from a Postcolonial Lens</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://anadolu.academia.edu/DilekCaliskan">Dilek Ünügür Caliskan</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, The Animal Other: Revisiting Edward Albee's The Zoo Story's Jerry and Peter from a Postcolonial Lens</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">This paper delves into the intricate layers of Edward Albee's The Zoo Story (1958), with Jerry embodying the other and Peter representing the self.

The focus is on the rich and complex postcolonial issues of hybrid identity, land, art, and otherness. The fixed identities of Jerry and Peter serve as a lens to understand the dynamics between the self and the other, where every other is shaped by the conquering culture while rejecting its ability to define it. Otherness is a complex and multifaceted concept involving discourse and the dominant group's norms and ideals. To maintain their feeling of superiority, Westerners stigmatized groups such as Others, Barbarians, Savages, and People of Color throughout the colonial era. The conflict is perpetuated through stereotyped ideals and spatial structure. The paper employs the Manichean allegory, the fragmented family metaphor, and the Native American trickster figure to delve into otherness and becoming an animal in the Third Space, Central Park, a unique blend of wilderness and modern life. The sudden appearance of the trickster Jerry in the northern part of the park, leading to a fatal fight for the bench, will expose invisible crimes rooted in animality, sexuality, and criminality discourses of identity-making. Albee's narrative will bring Editor Peter to the shaman's path through tribal storytelling and murder, a powerful tool for promoting sensation for diversity in media, forcing Peter to confront his other and self as the colonizer, colonized, and the animal via the face of the dying animal, Jerry, impossible to deface.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/124006198/The_Animal_Other_Revisiting_Edward_Albees_The_Zoo_Storys_Jerry_and_Peter_from_a_Postcolonial_Lens"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/118312208/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/123821346/The_Moors_Revenge_or_Reflections_on_Postcolonial_Publishing">The Moor's Revenge, or Reflections on Postcolonial Publishing</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://ku-dk.academia.edu/Lock">Charles Lock</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, Moroccan Cultural Studies Journal, no. 2 (2000), pp. 65-70.</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">It is only in recent years that some serious attention has been paid to the teaching of English literature as an instrument of British imperialism.

Narayan, Mulk Raj Anand, George Lamming are among the earliest to posit England as an idea, and as an ideal, that must be overcome if one is not to remain enslaved, alienated from oneself. The idea of England as the symbolic centre of the world is one effect of a colonial education that has been described and criticized in a great many post-colonial texts; one might argue that, just as such an ideal England was a deliberate construction of colonial educational policy, so such a protest is a prerequisite for any text's admission to our own 'post-colonial canon'.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/123821346/The_Moors_Revenge_or_Reflections_on_Postcolonial_Publishing"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/118165302/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/123799693/Karriere_einer_Putzfrau_oder_die_Stimme_der_Subalternen_eine_Relekt%C3%BCre_Hamlets_durch_das_Prisma_von_Heiner_M%C3%BCllers_Hamletmaschine">Karriere einer Putzfrau oder die Stimme der Subalternen – eine Relektüre Hamlets durch das Prisma von Heiner Müllers Hamletmaschine</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://u-picardie.academia.edu/ChristineMeyer">Christine Meyer</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, Études Germaniques</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">The aim of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the process of literary affiliation at work in the writings of E.

S. Özdamar : to the masters of the great European tradition on the one hand and to certain 20 th century German writers on the other. The example of her short story Karriere einer Putzfrau (A Cleaning Woman's Career) allows us to throw light on the forms taken by this double positioning, both in the Western canon (represented by Shakespeare) and in modern German literature (in this case B. Brecht and H. Müller). An intertextual reading shows that these references are constitutive both of the text itself and of its 'literariness', in the sense that taking them into account is the only way to avoid a narrowly referential (and thus ethnicising) interpretation which would mask its discursive strategy and its ethical and philosophical underpinnings.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/123799693/Karriere_einer_Putzfrau_oder_die_Stimme_der_Subalternen_eine_Relekt%C3%BCre_Hamlets_durch_das_Prisma_von_Heiner_M%C3%BCllers_Hamletmaschine"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/118148420/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/123575434/Imagined_Buddhisms_and_the_Limits_of_Female_Liberation_in_Qurratulain_Hyder_s_River_of_Fire">Imagined Buddhisms and the Limits of Female Liberation in Qurratulain Hyder’s River of Fire</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/CrystalBaines">Crystal Baines</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, South Asian review - South Asian Literary Association/South Asian review</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">This study considers how Urdu Indian writer, Qurratulain Hyder historicizes the role of Buddhism in her magnum opus, River of Fire.

This study demonstrates that Hyder’s imagination of <br />Buddhism from the perspective of female domesticity, unravels a <br />more complicated religious and literary legacy than what was generally <br />understood among her contemporary intelligentsia. In the <br />opening chapters of the novel, Hyder draws on classical Buddhist <br />literatures such as the Therīgāthā, to challenge romanticized imaginations <br />of Buddhism. This article teases out this intertextuality <br />between the novel and the Buddhist canon as a moment that <br />foregrounds the implications of liberation for generations of <br />women silenced by hegemonic religious and national histories. <br />Drawing on Saba Mahmood’s Politics of Piety, I argue that Hyder <br />explores alternative conceptions of feminine self-realization and <br />liberation which interrogate not only traditional monastic notions <br />of freedom and liberation but also feminist and Buddhist discourses <br />of equality in the nation.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/123575434/Imagined_Buddhisms_and_the_Limits_of_Female_Liberation_in_Qurratulain_Hyder_s_River_of_Fire"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/117976069/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/123248176/A_Critical_Comparative_Examination_of_Postcolonial_Feminist_Narratives_in_Andrea_Levy_s_The_Long_Song_and_Zadie_Smith_s_Swing_Time">A Critical Comparative Examination of Postcolonial Feminist Narratives in Andrea Levy’s The Long Song and Zadie Smith’s Swing Time</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://karabuk.academia.edu/KananAghasiyev">Kanan Aghasiyev</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, Bridges Publishing Verlag Hans-Jürgen Maurer</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">This book examines how Andrea Levy’s The Long Song and Zadie Smith’s Swing Time engage with Postcolonial Feminist Theory to portray the lasting impact of colonialism on women of Color.

Levy’s The Long Song explores the intersectionality of race, gender, and colonialism through characters like July and Kitty. By highlighting the voices and experiences of Black women within the colonial narrative, Levy challenges Eurocentric and patriarchal perspectives. Through July’s narrative, readers gain insight into the complexities of colonial power dynamics and Black women’s strategies for navigating and resisting oppression. Similarly, Smith’s Swing Time discusses the intersections of race, gender, and identity in the postcolonial context, exemplified by the unnamed protagonist and her unnamed mother. Smith questions the colonial legacy in shaping individual and collective identities. Characters like Hawa and Tracey highlight the lasting impact of colonial ideologies on contemporary society and women of Color’s ongoing resistance. Both novels challenge conventional postcolonial narratives by presenting characters who oppose stereotypes. Despite the melancholy often associated with colonial history, Levy and Smith create engaging characters who navigate identity and oppression with resilience. Through their narratives, the authors shed light on the lasting impact of colonialism on women of Color and contribute to a nuanced understanding of Postcolonial Feminist discourse.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/123248176/A_Critical_Comparative_Examination_of_Postcolonial_Feminist_Narratives_in_Andrea_Levy_s_The_Long_Song_and_Zadie_Smith_s_Swing_Time"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/117724920/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/123194507/Maria_Metade_e_as_incompletudes_da_alma_o_ser_plural_mo%C3%A7ambicano">Maria Metade e as incompletudes da alma: o ser plural moçambicano</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/CristianPaulaSantana">Cristian Paula Santana</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">Pretendemos neste artigo analisar o conto “Meia culpa, meia propria culpa”, de Mia Couto, mostrando uma entre tantas possiveis perspectivas de analise da obra do autor.

O presente ensaio é um estudo que parte das relações entre Literatura e História no romance Memórias de Branca Dias (2009), de Miguel Real, publicado pela primeira vez em 2003, a fim de analisar a protagonista deste romance. A figura da Branca Dias real tornou-se um mito, lendas surgiram em torno deste nome; é uma personagem in presentia, em algumas ficções, in absentia em outras. Buscamos identificar, com base n’A construção da Personagem Romanesca (2008), de Cristina Vieira, elementos que mostram um discurso crítico-reflexivo por parte da autoria de Miguel Real, o qual nos permite rememorar Branca Dias como uma mulher de luta, pois o romance, além de possibilitar que se retorne ao Brasil colonial, mostra a mão férrea da Igreja Católica no período da Inquisição, contra a qual Branca lutou a vida inteira.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/123190914/Limiares_entre_fic%C3%A7%C3%A3o_e_hist%C3%B3ria_elementos_da_personagem_romanesca_em_Mem%C3%B3rias_de_Branca_Dias_de_Miguel_Real"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/117682980/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/123186971/RESISTANCE_WEBS_SURVIVAL_AND_RESISTANCE_OF_NATIVE_AMERICAN_PEOPLES_IN_THERE_THERE_BY_TOMMY_ORANGE">RESISTANCE WEBS: SURVIVAL AND RESISTANCE OF NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLES IN 'THERE THERE' BY TOMMY ORANGE</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/AnaL%C3%ADliaCarvalhoRocha">Ana Lília Carvalho Rocha</a> and <details class="authors-dropdown"><summary>1 more</summary><div class="dropdown-content"><div class="dropdown-item"><a href="https://independent.academia.edu/LarissaFontinelle">Larissa Fontinelle</a></div></div></details></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, Revista X</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">This paper examines how the metaphor of the spider web in There There(2019) by Native American writer Tommy Orange is utilized to convey a message of resistance and survival of Native American peoples.

The analysis explores the cultural symbolism of the spider web and its relationship to the three characters in the narrative, drawing on theoretical approaches from authors such as Hertha D. Wong and Sergiusz Michalski. Additionally, Achille Mbembe's concept of necropolitics is incorporated into the analysis, linking it to the historical policies of genocide and social exclusion applied to  Native  American  peoples.  By  studying  authors  such  as  Vine  Deloria  Jr.,  Ward Churchill,  and  Roxanne  Dunbar-Ortiz,  one  can  understand  how  the  cultural  and territorial genocide  policies  applied to Native  American  peoples in the  United  States were used to justify the exploitation of their natural resources and the usurpation of their lands. Thus, this analysis offers a critical and broad perspective on the struggle of Native American  peoples  for  their  survival  and  resistance  and  seeks  to  demonstrate  how necropolitics is present in the narrative and how it affects the mentioned characters</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/123186971/RESISTANCE_WEBS_SURVIVAL_AND_RESISTANCE_OF_NATIVE_AMERICAN_PEOPLES_IN_THERE_THERE_BY_TOMMY_ORANGE"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/117680035/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/122741715/The_Representation_of_Marginalized_Voices_in_Uzma_Aslam_Khans_Novel_Trespassing_A_Case_Study_on_the_Character_of_Salaamat">The Representation of Marginalized Voices in Uzma Aslam Khan's Novel Trespassing: A Case Study on the Character of Salaamat</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://uol.academia.edu/IrbabHakim">Irbab Y Hakim</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY eJOURNAL Vol. 4, No. 32</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">Salaamat is a prism through which Khan reflects the voices of the marginalized.

This study investigates Salaamat's image as a microcosm of multifaceted marginalization via postcolonial and ecocritical lenses. Salaamat expresses resistance to corporate meddling, environmental exploitation, colonial consequences, and current societal apathy. The narrative calls for ecological harmony and inclusive society systems. This study raises serious questions about the portrayal of literature and Salaamat's position as a catalyst for societal inquiry. Finally, "Trespassing" promotes societal paradigms based on inclusivity, environmental awareness, and empathy.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/122741715/The_Representation_of_Marginalized_Voices_in_Uzma_Aslam_Khans_Novel_Trespassing_A_Case_Study_on_the_Character_of_Salaamat"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/117344651/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/122691441/Genres_of_Transition_Literature_and_Economy_in_Portuguese_Speaking_Southern_Africa">Genres of Transition: Literature and Economy in Portuguese-Speaking Southern Africa</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://ucd.academia.edu/ThomasWaller">Thomas Waller</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, Liverpool University Press</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">This book argues that literary production in Portuguese-speaking southern Africa has developed distinctive aesthetic idioms that critically respond to crises of global capitalism and related failures of post-colonial governance. Drawing... <a class="more u-tcGrayDark u-linkUnstyled" href="#">more</a></div><div class="complete hidden">This book argues that literary production in Portuguese-speaking southern Africa has developed distinctive aesthetic idioms that critically respond to crises of global capitalism and related failures of post-colonial governance. Drawing from recent research at the intersection of world-systems analysis and materialist theories of world literature, it identifies and evaluates two generic trends in the post-independence literatures of Mozambique and Angola. From the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, there is a marked tendency in Mozambican literary production towards fictional representations of ghosts, spectral effects and gothic narrative techniques. In Angola, there is an analogous outburst of literary expression from the mid-1990s onwards, in which writers increasingly turn towards dystopian images of apocalypse, ecological crisis, and the disintegration of existing modes of social reproduction. Away from a restricted focus on the decline of the post-independence Marxist-Leninist state, the book contends that the upswing in these two genres of writing functions to critically register a world-systemic horizon that both surpasses and includes locally determined, national realities. The patterned repetition of spectral and dystopian forms in Portuguese-speaking southern Africa occurred at a time of heightened capitalisation, in which the region was subjected to newly expropriative forms of accumulation and ecological enclosure via integration into a reconstellated world-system headed by neoliberal finance capital. <br /> <br />Through close readings of texts by authors such as Mia Couto, Suleiman Cassamo, Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa, Pepetela, and Ondjaki, this book asks: What factors drove literary production towards the figure of the spectre in Mozambique and towards dystopia in Angola? What emerging energies and social contradictions found shape in these generic idioms in ways that existing vocabularies were unable to express? What does the geo-temporal passage from spectrality to dystopia tell us about the history of capitalist development in southern Africa, and about the restructuring of political-economic parameters across the globe?</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/122691441/Genres_of_Transition_Literature_and_Economy_in_Portuguese_Speaking_Southern_Africa"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/117306123/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/122447302/Unnoticed_Child_from_the_Conflict_Zone_A_Study_of_Human_Behaviour_in_Select_Indian_Graphic_Novels">Unnoticed Child from the Conflict Zone: A Study of Human Behaviour in Select Indian Graphic Novels</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://vit-in.academia.edu/BhuvaneswariRamadoss">Bhuvaneswari R</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, Space and Culture, India</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">Children in conflict-affected regions face numerous obstacles that can substantially impact their cognitive and behavioural development.

The purpose of this study is to examine how Indian Graphic Novels, specifically Malik Sajad's Munnu: A Boy from Kashmir and Varud Gupta & Ayushi Rastogi's Chhotu: A Tale of Partition and Love, depict the routine of children's lives in conflict-prone regions. The selected novels effectively convey the lived experiences of the young protagonists and offer an original perspective on their struggles. Children who are deprived of a safe environment due to violence are frequently subjected to financial, sexual, psychological, and physical maltreatment, as well as rules and restrictions from their parents, teachers, and neighbours. The ecological system theory, which contends that a child's environment affects their general behaviour, is employed in the study. It underlines the effects of living in a conflict zone on behaviour, including post-traumatic stress disorder. Despite the significant influence of parents, culture, and social norms, the study demonstrates that the behaviour of young protagonists living in conflict zones is strongly influenced by their environment (chronosystem). According to the analysis, conflict-related violence against children has become a significant threat to global development. While the number of children affected by the violent environment is unclear, it is evident that those confined to 'home life' in a combat zone are at a greater risk of abuse and trauma. The study emphasises the critical requirement for defending the legal rights of children living in conflict areas and giving them a secure environment. It places a strong focus on the value of social services, healthcare, and education in preserving and advancing children's rights. The purpose of the study is to contribute to a greater understanding of human behaviour in the context of conflict and its potential long-term effects on the development of children. The need to create a just and peaceful world for all children is underlined in the study.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/122447302/Unnoticed_Child_from_the_Conflict_Zone_A_Study_of_Human_Behaviour_in_Select_Indian_Graphic_Novels"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/117123311/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/122192796/Ungulani_Ba_Ka_Khosa_na_Imprensa">Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa na Imprensa</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://independent.academia.edu/FernandaGallo11">Fernanda Gallo</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, Revista Mulemba</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">Destacando a importância da atuação de escritores como Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa na imprensa moçambicana, esse artigo busca explorar um conjunto de textos dispersos e publicados entre 1982-1996 nos periódicos Diário de Moçambique,... <a class="more u-tcGrayDark u-linkUnstyled" href="#">more</a></div><div class="complete hidden">Destacando a importância da atuação de escritores como Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa na imprensa moçambicana, esse artigo busca explorar um conjunto de textos dispersos e publicados entre 1982-1996 nos periódicos Diário de Moçambique, Savana-Semanário Independente e revista Tempo disponíveis no Centro de Intervenção para o Desenvolvimento Amílcar Cabral (CIDAC).

Jeffery S. Ahlman's answer in his biography of Kwame Nkrumah is an implicit but emphatic 'yes.'

Her power as a queen, her wisdom and her fury are inextricable from her life as a woman, a faithful widow, prepared to commit suicide or be sacrificed, as well as a stranger’s lover. Primarily considered as «Dido the Forsaken» by European poets and playwrights, in recent decades Dido’s character has been endowed with the power of strength, forgiveness and survival, giving birth to postcolonial and non-patriarchal literary genealogies.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/121899834/Un_mito_dopo_la_tragedia_Elissa_Didone_tra_XX_e_XXI_secolo"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/116672956/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/121728563/Women_of_Letters_Mariama_B%C3%A2_and_Alice_Walker">Women of Letters: Mariama Bâ and Alice Walker</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://lsu.academia.edu/RosemaryPeters">Rosemary A Peters-Hill</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">It is up to us women to take our fate in our hands in order to overthrow the order established to our detriment instead of submitting to it.

We must, like men, use this weapon, peaceful, of course, but effective, which is writing." Mariama Bâ, La Fonction politique des littératures africaines écrites (1981) Navigating both geographic and linguistic barriers, Mariama Bâ's chef-d'oeuvre So Long a Letter (1979) and Alice Walker's The Color Purple (1982) transcend spatial limitations. The works provide unique insight into their historical periods-postindependence Senegal in Bâ's case, the Jim Crow American South in Walker's-and offer scathing critiques of imperial historiographies. Those critiques are "voiced" by letter-writing protagonists who rise from silence to claim both equity and solidarity. Bâ and Walker strategically employ the letter form to challenge literary conventions and archaic notions of female roles and relationships. Over the three decades since So Long a Letter and The Color Purple were published, only a handful of scholars have linked the novels. The two works appeared so closely together that today, we can read them naturally as part of one cultural ethos, despite different languages, countries, and cultures of origin. The critical readings that do examine the texts side by side have studied questions of gender inequity, stylistics, religion, and female empowerment. Threequarters of these readings, we note, come from Africa or the African diaspora; only one was published in the United States-an omission we seek to remedy. 1 Our essay explores the epistolary form as sociopolitical critique. The Color Purple and So Long a Letter highlight the oppression their Black female protagonists experience, complicating traditional ideologies of inclusion and exclusion. We also examine the ways Ramatoulaye (Bâ) and Celie (Walker) create communities of women during and through their narratives. Those communities are far from simple-neither novel traffics in illusion, including one in which the world of women is peaceful or rosy. Some women perpetuate the abuse inflicted by men who have controlled, abused, and betrayed them; others suffer at the narrators' own hands. In both novels, secondary characters underline the importance of reading in a pluralistic, not binary, fashion. Finally, our essay traces connections between the two novels to discuss the idea of a sisterhood of novelists as well. Their contemporaneity stands out precisely because it suggests an empowering literary solidarity that bridges oceans, religions, and languages.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/121728563/Women_of_Letters_Mariama_B%C3%A2_and_Alice_Walker"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/116540372/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/121606402/Decapitalization_in_Anglophone_Caribbean">Decapitalization in Anglophone Caribbean</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://illinois.academia.edu/RamonSotoCrespo">Ramon Soto-Crespo</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, Caribbean Cosmopolitanisms and Caribbean Sciences</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">My essay argues that the category of trash is an essential component of a Global South’s cultural production.

The essay reads these novels against the tradition of 1970s and 1980s Caribbean popular romance to argue that these lesser and often disregarded body of post-plantation “trash” fiction can offer a more inclusive understanding of the past, contributing – just like their more literary counterparts – to the collective revision of historical interpretation, despite the fact that in all these novels love is thwarted by the damaging legacies of imperialism.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/121606179/Repurposing_a_Trashed_World"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/116442620/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more');

Deste modo, identificam-se três narradores: o narrador griôt, relacionado a personagens que falam de um tempo suspenso e passado, como o Velho Tomás e a matriarca da família Chibindzi; o narrador testemunho, que se apresenta no tempo presente; como a voz de Gil, mas não apenas a dele, um dos detidos no campo de reeducação no Niassa; e o narrador letrado, que perpassa todo o romance e transita por diferentes épocas e espaços, costurando pontes e reflexões sobre o conjunto da narrativa. Assim, na trama dos tempos, os narradores de Entre as memórias silen- ciadas se intercalam para iluminar polifônicas versões que questionam a monofonia da história oficial. Para dar conta desta análise, foram mobilizados teóricos como Amadou Hampâté Bâ, Mikhail Bakhtin e Paul Ricoeur, entre outros. Estudos críticos, em especial os de Rita Chaves, Márcio Seligmann-Silva e Vanessa Teixeira, também contribuíram para esta pesquisa.</div></div><div class="button-container"><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-view" href="https://www.academia.edu/120812162/NA_TRAMA_DOS_TEMPOS_OS_NARRADORES_DE_ENTRE_AS_MEM%C3%93RIAS_SILENCIADAS"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">description</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View Paper</span></a><a class="ds2-5-text-link no-padding" data-click-track="topics--work-card-download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/115844550/download_file?st=MTc0MzI1MTA3OCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=topics-page-work-card" rel="nofollow"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">arrow_downward</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download</span></a></div></div><script>document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const moreLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.more'); moreLinks.forEach(link => { const summary = link.closest('.summary'); const summarized = summary.querySelector('.summarized'); const complete = summary.querySelector('.complete'); // Only show more link if we have both summarized and complete content if (!summarized || !complete) { link.style.display = 'none'; return; } link.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); summarized.classList.add('hidden'); complete.classList.remove('hidden'); // Hide the more link since we don't want to toggle back link.style.display = 'none'; }); }); }); // To allow for closing the author dropdown when clicking outside of it document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { const dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll('details.authors-dropdown'); dropdowns.forEach(dropdown => { if (!dropdown.contains(event.target) && dropdown.hasAttribute('open')) { dropdown.removeAttribute('open'); } }); });</script></div><div class="div"><div class="work-card-container"><div class="title"><a attrs="data-click-track topics--work-card-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/120639656/Writing_and_Unsettlement_Narratives_of_Migration_in_Bekim_Sejranovi%C4%87_and_Hassan_Blasim">Writing and Unsettlement : Narratives of Migration in Bekim Sejranović and Hassan Blasim</a></div><div class="authors">by <a href="https://stockton.academia.edu/GoricaMajstorovic">Gorica Majstorovic</a></div><div class="work-metadata"><p class="ds-work-card--detail ds2-5-body-sm">2024, Journal of Literary Multilingualism</p></div><div class="summary"><div class="summarized">The present article focuses on unsettling language and place in texts by two contemporary migrant writers, Hassan Blasim (Iraq-Finland) and Bekim Sejranović (Bosnia-Norway).
