Land conflict, murder, and the rise of “timeless culture” and girl blaming (Samburu, Kenya) by Bilinda Straight

“…Through a close examination of a well-publicized Kenyan court case surrounding the suspicious death in 1931 of Theodore Powys, a British settler, this paper documents the shaping of a discourse about feminine agency and masculine bravado among the youth that eventuated in harsh state-sponsored collective punishment of a pastoralist Samburu community. Colonial officers and European settlers strategically deployed Samburu youth “culture” in the form of girls’ sexuality and young men’s martial role in the tense, globally significant milieus of land policy and conflict in ways that persist in the twenty-first century. …”

Les espaces coloniaux allemands by Christine de Gemeaux

“…Dans le sillage de l’histoire globale, cet article part au contraire de l’hypothèse selon laquelle il faut tenir compte de territoires qui, comme l’Alsace-Moselle et la Poznanie, ont constitué de véritables colonies continentales. L’étude des schémas d’organisation et de représentation de ces territoires montre qu’il s’agit bien d’espaces coloniaux, et l’étude conjointe des espaces continentaux et ultramarins éclaire profondément la nature du colonialisme allemand.…”

Robida’s Mormons by Daryl Lee

“…This transnational exchange included “Mormons,” members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who migrated progressively west from the Missouri and Illinois frontiers in the 1830s and 40s to the Great Basin after 1847, where they established an extensive network of colonies. Author-illustrator Albert Robida depicted the “polygamist sect” in venues such as Le Journal amusant and La Caricature, and in two novels, his Jules Verne-inspired Voyages très extraordinaires de Saturnin Farandoul (1879) and the futuristic satire Le Vingtième siècle (1883) set in 1953. …”

Can the ‘Other’ Frame Back in Tourism Studies? by Sarani Pitor Pakan

“…This essay is basically a reflection on my own experiment to respond to the Western-biased, Eurocentric, and colonial knowledge production in tourism studies. I found myself, who initially aimed to offer reverse South-to-North tourist/photographic framings, trapped in the question concerning whether non-Western tourism researchers are really able and need to frame back and talk back in academia. …”

Les mots maoris dans The Bone People de Keri Hulme : exotisme et intimisme by Alice Braun

“…Part of the debate focused around Hulme’s decision to compile a glossary of the Maori words used in the text, a device which carries a significant literary and political weight in the context of post-colonial studies. This paper shows how the use of Maori words in the English text may be accused of participating in a strategy of “exoticisation” of the text, though they still have a strong symbolic meaning within the economy of the narrative. …”
