« Histoires perturbées, passés retrouvés », une introduction by Sian Sullivan, Michèle Baussant, Lindsey Dodd, Olivette Otele, Irène Dos Santos

“…Our project proposes a cross-disciplinary analysis and cross-case synthesis of experience and memory in post-conflict and postcolonial contexts. In the post- conflict and colonial contexts of our cases, we see “disruption” as present in three senses: as the productive ways in which multiple experiences retrieved through oral histories may refract and revise historical analysis; as the happening histories of objectively disruptive events break the flow of individual and collective experience; and as a strategy for cross-disciplinary research to disrupt and democratise conventional understanding by drawing attention to occluded experiences. …”

Writing the Nation Beyond Resistance: Portuguese Film and the Colonial War by Adriana Martins

“…Cette résistance étant plus particulièrement perceptible dans la littérature et au cinéma, cette étude se penchera sur deux films majeurs : Non, ou la vaine gloire de commander (Non, ou a Vã Glória de Mandar) (1990), de Manoel de Oliveira, et Le Rivage des murmures (A Costa dos Murmúrios) (2004), de Margarida Cardoso — qui proposent une réflexion sur les questions de race, de genre, de classe et d’idéologie qui ont marqué l’agenda colonial, une réflexion qui alimente toujours le débat postcolonial portugais (tant sur les plans politiques, sociaux ou culturels), incapable de se délivrer de ces fantômes impériaux, qui hantent toujours le peuple portugais et qui invalident les rapports pouvant exister envers l’Autre.…”

Queers non blanc·hes en France by Najwa Ouguerram-Magot

“…Even though claiming to be queer can function as an act of resistance to the homonormativity of LGBT groups, liberal requirements persist within queer movements and feed neoliberal assimilationism, like the injunction to subscribe to a “queer way of being” through hypervisibility without questioning its underlying white standards. In postcolonial France, a country unwilling to deal with the contemporary consequences of its history, when two identities are set back-to-back, respondents openly choose to protect their racial community against homonationalist and homonormative discourses.…”

The financial character of policing in Tunisia: collusions, extraversion and the criminalization of informality by Daniela Musina

“…This article attempts to shed light on the development of a financial/security assemblages in Tunisia, from an international political sociology perspective that looks at the development of practices of security and policing from a transnational and postcolonial vantage point.
