Imagining the Postcolonial

Discipline, Poetics, Practice in Latin American and Francophone Discourse

About this book

A comparative study of Latin American and francophone postcoloniality.

Imagining the Postcolonial is the first book dedicated to comparative analysis of Latin American and francophone postcolonial identity. Jaime Hanneken examines the disciplinary, theoretical, and political stakes involved in postcolonial identification in non-anglophone cultural spheres through readings of JosĂ© Lezama Lima and Édouard Glissant's poetics of place, the symbolic value of Paris in modernista writing and in Congolese SociĂ©tĂ©s des Ambianceurs et Personnes ÉlĂ©gantes (sape) rituals, and the scandals surrounding Rigoberta MenchĂș and Yambo Ouologuem. Hanneken argues that reorienting comparative critique to the priority of the object of study can transform rather than replicate existing conceptual formats of postcoloniality.
