The texts collected in this book are all produced and located within the converging fields of navigation and displacement. The connection between navigation and narration becomes clear when we realise that most of the authors and heroes of the accounts discussed by the author were, in one way or another, involved in shipping and navigation and that their accounts were produced within fluid and floating spaces and in the course of intriguing voyages and long cruises. In all cases, these narratives start with the narrators on board ships and end with them once again taking charge of their ships and sailing back home. In this book, the author argues that the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century English narratives of adventure and captivity were not produced within clearly demarcated territories and on dry land, but within spaces of indeterminacy, struggle, and transition.

The essential introduction to the most important texts in post-colonial theory and criticism, this second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to include 121 extracts from key works in the field. Leading, as well as lesser known figures in the fields of writing, theory and criticism contribute to this inspiring body of work that includes sections on nationalism, hybridity, diaspora and globalization. The Readerʹs wide-ranging approach reflects the remarkable diversity of work in the discipline along with the vibrancy of anti-imperialist writing both within and without the metropolitan centres. Covering more debates, topics and critics than any comparable book in its field, The Post-Colonial Studies Reader is the ideal starting point for students and issues a potent challenge to the ways in which we think and write about literature and culture. -- Publisher description.

Les discours tenus aujourd'hui sur l'Afrique restent pour une large part pénétrés des fantasmes nourris par la conquête coloniale à la fin du XIXe siècle. Pour les saisir à leurs origines, l'auteur de ce livre est remonté aux sources du roman colonial français et a relu plus d'une centaine de romans ou cycles romanesques publiés entre 1863, date du texte fondateur Cinq semaines en ballon, et la guerre de 1914. Ces fictions, dues à quelques grands noms (Zola, Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, Jules Verne, Rosny Aîné) et le plus souvent à une foule de feuilletonistes sans gloire (de Louis Boussenard à Fernand Hue, d'Armand Dubarry à Edgar Monteil), combinent avec une grande liberté les scénarios les plus improbables avec des matériaux empruntés aux récits de voyages des explorateurs. A ce titre, elles forment au sein de la littérature fin de siècle un vaste territoire inexploré, avec son histoire et ses sous-genres propres, ses pratiques d'écriture et ses stéréotypies particulières. Enfants perdus livrés à la gueule des lions, explorateurs assiégés par des hordes de cannibales, reines des Amazones à l'ardeur tropicale, sous-offs ignares proclamés rois par des foules noires émerveillées : rien ne manquait aux terreurs rassurantes et aux espérances illimitées promises aux lecteurs, ces téméraires aventuriers en chambre. Mais ces fictions leur livraient aussi, sous le couvert didactique et moralisateur d'aventures déclarées authentiques, des histoires de pillages et des scènes de carnages - affabulations de militaires rêvant, dans l'attente de la Revanche, de blanchir l'Afrique noire en exterminant ses habitants. De la visite d'un continent alors si mal connu qu'on pouvait tout en dire, il ressort que la France, ligotée dans les certitudes rigides du positivisme, du nationalisme et du racialisme, a rencontré l'Afrique à la pire époque de son histoire intellectuelle, au point de faire d'elle le laboratoire fictionnel de ses songeries génocidaires, voire de ce qui apparaît après coup comme un proto-fascisme français.
