Henry Rider Haggard’s Posthumanist Eco-consciousness by Sinan AKILLI

How the Internet is Transforming the Bombay Poetry Scene by Manon Boukhroufa-Trijaud

“…This article explores the context of Bombay/Mumbai in an attempt to show how the city’s poetry scene was transformed once it went online. As the postcolonial city of Bombay turned into Mumbai – i.e. a modern-day megacity –, notable literary changes followed, from the dissolution of its traditional poetic scene – as poets dispersed to distant suburbs, neighbouring cities, or even abroad – to the disappearance of an already fragile ecosystem of publishing collectives. …”

Cadrage, décadrage et recadrage dans Baa Baa Black Sheep : A Jungle Tale de David Malouf et Michael Berkeley by Jean-Philippe Heberlé

“…Both Malouf’s endeavour and Berkeley’s, through the music, aims at deconstructing the preposterous oldest transpositions of The Jungle Books and at focusing on the key elements of Kipling’s famous book, notably identity and hybridism, two important themes of colonial and postcolonial literature. The aim of David Malouf and Michael Berkeley is to address an adult audience and show that The Jungle Books are not only aimed at children as Disney’s or Baden Powell’s appropriations of the work could wrongly make us believe.…”

L’ḥarga e le sue bruciature. Riflessioni sulla migrazione “irregolare” tunisina a partire da alcune note etnografiche by Carmelo Russo

“…The ḥarga will emerge in the form of collective representations capable of permeating the singularities of existences in which awareness of the difficulties due to visa restrictions, the paternalism of the “Western” gaze, the postcolonial subservience to Europe, the limitations of qualifying as “legal migrants,” the violence and aggressiveness of controls, and the European will to exclude undesirables play a prominent role.…”

De la cassette au fichier numérique : enjeux de l’archivage, du partage et de la restitution des archives orales enregistrées au Niger by Véronique Ginouvès, Ibrahim Moussa

“…While considering the restitution to the field of collections recorded on the Nigerian territory and preserved in France, the authors adopt a comprehensive and continuous approach to take into account a decisive paradigm shift: the understanding of analogue archives converted into digital format and their production in a colonial context with a view to postcolonial use. In this endeavour, Digital Humanities play a facilitating role by promoting the analysis, comparison and sharing of sound archives among all relevant stakeholders. …”

“Dissociating Form and Meaning in Bilingual Creative Writing and Creative Translation Workshops” by Sara GREAVES, Marie-Laure SCHULTZE

“…Naturally some self-reflexive dislocating of form and meaning has to be undertaken by the teachers, who may wonder “who” they should be – teachers or readers of creative fiction – when faced with their students’ productions. Indeed, postcolonial criticism invites us to consider spelling and grammar mistakes not as errors only, but as factors of difference.…”

Muslimah Creativity, Piety, and Solidarity in Mohja Kahf’s Hagar Poems by Hasnul Insani Djohar, Willy Oktaviano, Mira Utami

“…In doing so, Kahf uses the strategies of juxtaposition, humor, and irreverence by connecting Muslimah ancient leaders to her contemporary speakers who are crisscrossing Islamic traditions and American popular culture. By engaging with postcolonial and gender studies with the frameworks of leadership and Islamic studies, this paper investigates how Kahf’s women juxtapose ancient folkloric tales and American popular cultures, both to establish their multiple identities and leadership and to illuminate contemporary resonances of ancient Muslimah leaders in the eyes of subsequent generations. …”
