Subverting the State:
The Postcolonial Predicament

Keynote lecture:
Priyamvada Gopal (University of Cambridge)
Since the birth of nation-states, emerging in conjunction with the first wave of globalisation and the height of European colonialism in the mid-nineteenth century, avant-gardists have problematized the role of the nation-state. However, as anti-colonial freedom movements often assumed a nationalist character, postcolonial studies has been preoccupied with understanding the historical significance and emotional force of the nation-state and devoted less attention to the movements and ideas that sought to subvert the state altogether.

Série France Culture : Les Chemins du roman

Une série de quatre émissions de "Cultures Monde", diffusées en novembre 2014, sont consacrées aux "chemins du roman" : la 3ème plus particulièrement sur "les têtes de pont de l'édition mondiale" évoque les situations très contemporaines en Afrique et en Inde, et dans les deux cas, bien entendu, la question des concurrences entre éditeurs francophones et anglophones.
