Abstract

The essays in this collection examine how both colonial and British authors engage with Victorian subjects and subjectivities in their work. Some essays explore the emergence of a key trope within colonial texts: the negotiation of Victorian and settler-subject positions. Others argue for new readings of key metropolitan texts and their repositioning within literary history. These essays work to recognise the plurality of the rubric of the 'Victorian' and to expand how the category of Victorian studies can be understood.

Abstract

Si la construction de l'Extrême-Orient par les écrivains occidentaux est un fait littéraire largement étudié, bien rares sont les explorations des œuvres orientalistes d'auteurs eux-mêmes issus des anciennes colonies. Avertissement à qui s'attendrait à découvrir ici une prose subversive, ou simplement une vision plus réaliste du Vietnam de l'époque coloniale : quelques surprises l'attendent. Souvent, en effet, les romanciers ont fait leurs les clichés de l'orientalisme métropolitain. La construction de l'Autre ne se fait pas à sens unique, et l'invention de l'Occident par des auteurs d'Asie est aussi un phénomène fascinant. Là encore, on s'étonnera de voir que les oppositions simplistes entre culture et nature, matérialisme et spiritualité ou vitalité et passivité ne furent pas tant remises en cause que simplement renversées. Certains romans vietnamiens francophones « occidentalistes » se révèlent en cela tout aussi stéréotypés que leurs contre-modèles. Entre la vision de l'Orient comme un continent incapable de survivre sans la présence des Français et celle qui réduit l'Occident à une machine de conquête sans âme, y a-t-il eu une voie médiane ? Oui, et Ching Selao nous convainc sans peine que ces romans de l'entre-deux participent d'une désorientation discursive bien plus féconde pour l'imaginaire et la réflexion critique.

Abstract

Recent scholarship has broadened definitions of war and shifted from the narrow focus on battles and power struggles to include narratives of the homefront and private sphere. To expand scholarship on textual representations of war means to shed light on the multiple theaters of war, and on the many voices who contributed to, were affected by, and/or critiqued German war efforts. Engaged women writers and artists commented on their nations' imperial and colonial ambitions and the events of the tumultuous beginning of the twentieth century. In an interdisciplinary investigation, this volume explores select female-authored, German-language texts focusing on German colonial wars and World War I and the discourses that promoted or critiqued their premises. They examine how colonial conflicts contributed to a persistent atmosphere of Kriegsbegeisterung (war enthusiasm) that eventually culminated in the outbreak of World War I, or a Kriegskritik (criticism of war) that resisted it. The span from German colonialism to World War I brings these explosive periods into relief and challenges readers to think about the intersection of nationalism, violence and gender and about the historical continuities and disruptions that shape such events.

Abstract

Between 1770 and 1800, transformations in the relationship between metropolitan British society and its colonial holdings, and in the concept of the nation itself, left Britons with a new sense of themselves. Over the same period, the consolidation of the middle classes was accompanied by growing social constraints on sexuality and family life. Staging Governance locates the intersection of these two trends in the representation of British India on the London stage. Theatrical productions, especially those representing colonial life, pushed the limits of public discourse on sexuality and colonialism even as the government made efforts to shape and narrow them. At the same time, official discourse on colonial practices, such as the public trials of Clive and Hastings, became theatrical events themselves. Exploring this rapidly shifting world through a series of original readings of dramatic texts and important moments of oratory, Staging Governance demonstrates how the perceived crises of imperial and domestic Britain joined these spheres in the popular imagination. The economics of political and sexual exchange not only became entwined but functioned as mutual supports during a period of social, cultural, and political readjustment.

Abstract

Négligé par la critique postcoloniale, le théâtre, dans ses formes variées, et notamment populaires, a pourtant largement accompagné la colonisation française de l’Afrique du Nord et la formation d’un esprit colonial, depuis le débarquement des troupes françaises en Algérie en 1830 jusqu’au grand rendez-vous impérialiste que fut l’Exposition coloniale de 1931. S’appuyant sur des préjugés existants, les renforçant, en forgeant parfois de nouveaux pour les besoins du spectacle, les pièces écrites à l’époque coloniale ont donné de multiples représentations de la figure de « l’Arabe » : bestial, fourbe, idiot ou « exotique », dans tous les cas inférieur au « Blanc », cet « autre » apparaît toujours comme un être dominé. À partir de l’analyse historique, sociologique et esthétique d’un répertoire méconnu de près de deux cents pièces, mais aussi de leur mise en scène et de leur réception par la critique et des publics divers, Amélie Gregório interroge la transformation des représentations en discours, sans perdre de vue les enjeux proprement artistiques et sans prétendre a priori que toute pièce représentant des « Arabes » est obligatoirement, et de façon univoque, idéologique.

Abstract

This collection brings together for the first time literary studies of British colonies in nineteenth-century Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, and the South Pacific Islands. Drawing on hemispheric studies, Indigenous studies, and southern theory to decentre British and other European metropoles, the collection offers a groundbreaking challenge to national paradigms and traditional literary periodisations and canons by prioritising southern cultural networks in multiple regional centres from Cape Town to Dunedin. Worlding the South examines the dialectics of literary worldedness in ways that recognise inequalities of power, textual and material violence, and literary and cultural resistance. The collection revises current literary histories of the 'British world' by arguing for the distinctiveness of settler colonialism in the southern hemisphere, and by incorporating Indigenous, diasporic, and south-south perspectives. "This collection brings together for the first time literary studies of British colonies in nineteenth-century Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America, Southeast Asia and the South Pacific Islands. Drawing on hemispheric studies, Indigenous studies and southern theory to decentre British and other European metropoles, the collection offers a groundbreaking challenge to national paradigms and traditional literary periodisations and canons by proposing a new literary history of the region that is predicated less on metropolitan turning points and more on southern cultural networks in multiple regional centres from Cape Town to Dunedin. With a focus on south-south interactions, southern audiences and southern modes of addressivity Worlding the South foregrounds marginal, minor and neglected writers and texts across a hemispheric complex of southern oceans and terrains. Adopting an ontological tradition that tests the dominance of networked theories of globalisation, the collection asks how we can better understand the dialectical relationship between the 'real' world in which a literary text or art object exists and the symbolic or conceptual world it shows or creates. By examining the literary processes of worlding, it demonstrates how art objects make legible homogenising imperial and colonial narratives, inequalities of linguistic power, textual and material violence and literary and cultural resistance. With contributions from leading scholars in nineteenth-century literary and cultural studies, the collection revises literary histories of the 'British world' by arguing for the distinctiveness of settler colonialism in the southern hemisphere and by incorporating Indigenous, diasporic and south-south perspectives." -- Back cover.

Abstract

Towards the end of the 16th century, when Queen Elizabeth perceived that the power of England would necessarily have to be based on the mastery of the seas, the British set sail for new horizons. The main objective of this collective work is to study the modalities of the first meetings in the "contact zones", uncertain places where the same and the other are thrown together on a stage to share.

Abstract

"Imagined Homelands chronicles the emerging cultures of nineteenth-century British settler colonialism, focusing on poetry as a genre especially equipped to reflect colonial experience. Jason Rudy argues that the poetry of Victorian-era Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada--often disparaged as derivative and uncouth--should instead be seen as vitally engaged in the social and political work of settlement. The book illuminates cultural pressures that accompanied the unprecedented growth of British emigration across the nineteenth century. It also explores the role of poetry as a mediator between familiar British ideals and new colonial paradigms within emerging literary markets from Sydney and Melbourne to Cape Town and Halifax. Rudy focuses on the work of poets both canonical--including Tennyson, Browning, Longfellow, and Hemans--and relatively obscure, from Adam Lindsay Gordon, Susanna Moodie, and Thomas Pringle to Henry Kendall and Alexander McLachlan. He examines in particular the nostalgic relations between home and abroad, core and periphery, whereby British emigrants used both original compositions and canonical British works to imagine connections between their colonial experiences and the lives they left behind in Europe. Drawing on archival work from four continents, Imagined Homelands insists on a wider geographic frame for nineteenth-century British literature. From lyrics printed in newspapers aboard emigrant ships heading to Australia and South Africa, to ballads circulating in New Zealand and Canadian colonial journals, poetry was a vibrant component of emigrant life. In tracing the histories of these poems and the poets who wrote them, this book provides an alternate account of nineteenth-century British poetry and, more broadly, of settler colonial culture"--

Abstract

Colonialism advanced its project of territorial expansion by changing the very meaning of borders and space. The colonial project scripted a unipolar spatial discourse that saw the colonies as an extension of European borders. In his monograph, Mohit Chandna engages with narrations of spatial conflicts in French and Francophone literature and film from the nineteenth to the early twenty-first century. In literary works by Jules Verne, Ananda Devi, and Patrick Chamoiseau, and film by Michael Haneke, Chandna analyzes the depiction of ever-changing borders and spatial grammar within the colonial project. In so doing, he also examines the ongoing resistance to the spatial legacies of colonial practices that act as omnipresent enforcers of colonial borders. Literature and film become sites that register colonial spatial paradigms and advance competing narratives that fracture the dominance of these borders.0Through its analyses 'Spatial Boundaries, Abounding Spaces' shows that colonialism is not a finished project relegated to our past. Colonialism is present in the here and now, and exercises its power through the borders that define us.
