La « Montagne raciale » : et après ? Parcours identitaires dans deux romans ghanéens contemporains by Marie-Jeanne Gauffre

“…Afro-American poet Langston’s Hughes’s challenge to the "Negro artist" in 1926—to run away from "the race towards whiteness" and climb the "racial mountain" in order to "discover himself and his people" reverberated throughout the colonial and later postcolonial world. Echoes of his plea have long been found in West African literary works concerned with restoring a positive image of the black self, but other "mountains" to be conquered have more recently come into view, especially in women’s writings. …”

Co-Formations : des spatialités de résistance décoloniales chez les lesbiennes « of color » en France by Paola Bacchetta

“…This article argues that lesbians “of color” in France are creating new decolonial subjectivities and resistant practices, yet these remain unintelligible in the dominant grid of intelligibility because the grid can not account for the inseparability of gender, sexuality, “race”-racism, class, slavery and postslavery, colonialism and postcoloniality.  Part one reviews contributions and limitations of current feminist and queer theorizing, and proposes the concepts of co-formations and co-productions to keep these invisibilized inseparabilities under consideration. …”

Rhythm, contagion, "cosmic race” by Lorena Grigoletto

“…Una teoría del ritmo (1921), the Mexican philosopher José Vasconcelos carries out an interesting rereading of ancient Pythagoreanism to reorient the symbolic-abstract direction of Western thought, which seems to pave a new line of genealogical exploration of the question of mimesis in a postcolonial context. The aesthetic notion of rhythm, as well as shifting the discourse on mimesis from the visual to the acoustic-emotional dimension, nevertheless presents the characteristics and risks of what Scheler calls “unipathy” or contagion and acquires a particularly important significance when considered as the theoretical premise of the famous Vasconcelian essay The Cosmic Race (1925). …”
