The political connotations of the works of Édouard Manet (1832-1883) are a subject of controversy. In a 1969 article, Michael Fried suggested the influence of historian Jules Michelet (1798-1874) in the art of Manet, but his interpretation was vehemently rejected by some. In this article, from other sources, the author demonstrates that there were indeed close links between Manet and Michelet, confirming Fried's hypothesis. Manet's historical and political conscience must be considered in his paintings, particularly in his knowledge of the evils of colonialism. ; Les connotations politiques des œuvres d'Édouard Manet (1832-1883) sont un sujet de controverse.

Historically, colonial domination has involved subjecting innocent populations to atrocities such as murder, torture, and exploitation. But pointing at these wrongs is not enough to explain the distinctive way in which colonialism is wrong. After all, murder, torture and exploitation are wrong whether or not they occur in the context of colonial occupation. If all we can do to explain the nature of colonialism is point at the fact that it typically involves the perpetration of these crimes, we cannot vindicate the thought that there is something distinctively wrong with it. And yet, intuitively the victims of colonial domination have suffered a distinctive wrong over and above those associated with these crimes. How should we understand the nature of this wrong? I answer this question by arguing that that colonial domination undermines the capacity of political communities to exercise their self-determining agency in a particular way.
Ce volume reflète l'extraordinaire essor pris ces dernières années par l'histoire des femmes en situation coloniale. Onze contributions, concernant des territoires coloniaux divers, portant sur les XIXe et XXe siècles, abordent, à travers des aspects historiques, littéraires, sociologiques ou politiques, des questions fondamentales pour cerner « le sexe » de la colonisation et de la décolonisation. Elles nous montrent combien, dans les deux processus, les rapports de genre, de classe et de race s'imbriquent dans les discours et dans les faits. La richesse des approches et des problématiques démontre, s'il le fallait, la pertinence de l'outil « genre » dans l'analyse des impérialismes.

Kant is widely regarded as a fierce critic of colonialism. In Toward Perpetual Peace and the Metaphysics of Morals, for example, he forcefully condemns European conduct in the colonies as a flagrant violation of the principles of right. His earlier views on colonialism have not yet received much detailed scrutiny, however. In this essay I argue that Kant actually endorsed and justified European colonialism until the early 1790s. I show that Kant's initial endorsement and his subsequent criticism of colonialism are closely related to his changing views on race, because his endorsement of a racial hierarchy plays a crucial role in his justification of European colonialism. He gave up both in the mid 1790s while he was developing his legal and political philosophy, and he adopted a more egalitarian version of the cosmopolitan relationship among peoples.

Vogl's new book relates finance to the internet industry and economics to politics. Introducing questions of colonial history and racism would further sharpen his view of the drivers and dynamics of contemporary capitalism.
In 1876, the Kaitakushi, the Japanese government agency responsible for the settlement of the northern island of Hokkaido, hired three Americans from Massachusetts Agricultural College: William Smith Clark, William Wheeler and David Pearce Penhallow. Their task was to establish a comparable institution in Hokkaido, Sapporo Agricultural College, that would spread American-style scientific agriculture among new settlers. Although recent historical research has highlighted the colonial nature of the modern settlement of Hokkaido and other American advisors' role in transmitting modern technologies of settler colonialism, the tenure of these three professors has never been examined from a postcolonial perspective. This article will investigate the writings of engineer William Wheeler, who served as president of the new college for several years and advised the Kaitakushi on numerous infrastructure projects, to look for clues about his attitudes towards and role in Japanese settler colonialism in Hokkaido. Textual evidence reveals Wheeler's awareness of and complicity in this undertaking.
This study is to be considered from a sociolinguistic view. It aims at highlighting the pathologlossical nature of the ties of some creole speakers with their mother tongue. This process pays special regard to the inhabitants of the Caribbean islands during the colonial period so as to demonstrate the roots of French-based creoles. However it shows the utmost importance to the former colony of Reunion (located in the Indian Ocean and institutionally French).It also deals with the ancient American colonies (Dominica, Haiti, St Lucia) and those of the Indian Ocean (Mauritius, the Seychelles) which escape the French linguistic planification. It tries to establish possible links between the speakers relations to their native language and the servile conditions which gave birth to their language.Such a study grants special treatment to the linguistic planification. It focuses on the intrusion of politics in the various uses of languages on the pathologlossical impacts of a conditioning that attaches little importance to human beings.It offers a humanistic approach in defining a linguistic policy in order to reduce the gap among other things as regards school or social loss. ; Cette étude se place dans une perspective sociolinguistique. Elle souhaite mettre en exergue le caractère pathoglossique des rapports de certains créolophones à leur langue maternelle. Cette démarche accorde une attention particulière aux populations en présence pendant la période coloniale française dans les Caraïbes, dans le dessein de démontrer les conditions de la naissance des créoles à base française. Cependant, elle s'intéresse dans une mesure non moindre à l'ex-colonie de la Réunion (située dans l'Océan indien et française institutionnellement) ainsi qu'aux ex-colonies d'Amérique (Dominique, Haïti, Sainte-Lucie) et d'Océan indien (Maurice, Seychelles) qui échappent à la politique de planification linguistique de la France.Elle essaye d'établir les liens possibles entre les rapports des locuteurs à leur langue maternelle et les conditions serviles qui ont donné naissance à cette langue.Cette étude accorde un traitement hors du commun à la planification linguistique. Elle met l'accent sur l'intervention de la Politique dans les différents domaines d'emploi des langues et les impacts pathoglossiques d'un conditionnement qui accorde à l'humain une place insignifiante.Elle propose une approche humaniste dans la définition de la politique linguistique afin de réduire le fossé, entre autres, en matière de déperdition scolaire et sociale.

International audience ; Exile and colonialism play an essential part in Jamaica Kincaid's novels. This antagonism is best expressed in Kincaid's early fiction through conflictual mother-daughter relationships. My paper aims to show that such aspects are connected facets of the identity nexus which informs the body politics of contemporary female Caribbean writers. ; L'exil et le colonialisme jouent un rôle essentiel dans les romans de Jamaica Kincaid. Cet antagonisme trouve sa meilleure expression dans les premiers écrits fictionnels de Kincaid à travers des relations conflictuelle entre mère et fille. La présente étude vise à montrer que de tels aspects représentent des facettes interdépendantes du problème identitaire qui marque de son empreinte la questionnement sur le corps chez les écrivains féminins contemporains de la Caraïbe.

This paper examines the eliminatory speed of Israeli settler colonialism, particularly the ways in which settler organizations aim to accelerate the pace of elimination at the colonial frontiers in Palestine. We show, by focusing on the settler NGO Regavim, how such settler entrepreneurs constantly develop new techniques that challenge the slow and creeping eliminatory pace of state's administrative, legal and security bodies with an intensifying eliminatory speed we call 'dromoelimination'. By closely elaborating the ongoing events in the West Bank village of Susiya, we argue that dromoelimination operates, firstly, through accelerative state-settler dynamics that traverses beyond the eliminatory functions of the state while at the same time fundamentally reconfiguring them; and secondly, by turning Palestinian life and struggle against dispossession, forced displacement and destruction increasingly vulnerable to intensified temporalities of 'depleting time'. Settler colonialism, we contend, becomes comprehensible in a more tangible, complex and spatially nuanced terms when looked through the speed and pace of its movement: that is, through intensified and accelerated eliminatory rhythms – of dromoelimination. ; publishedVersion ; Peer reviewed
This video article examines the author's embodied research in the Sinai region of the Egyptian Red Sea. It asks how embodied research can interrupt touristic and capitalistic frameworks of experiencing land and seascapes to better understand our collective responsibility to the indigenous humans and wildlife who's habitats are claimed by tourism. It considers the ways in which embodied research is uniquely suited to support postcolonial ecological inquiry.Arguing against environmental discourse which separates land and animal conservation from the indigenous humans who have lived among them for centuries, this video article considers the multiple losses suffered by the Bedouin peoples of the Sinai- from the annexation of Bedouin lands by nation states including Egypt and Israel, to neoliberal development schemes which displace them and their ancestral nomadic routes. This video article considers devastation to the environment from the countries, colonization and institutions directly affecting their food sources, homes and livelihoods.The author joins a legacy of artists of color examining the touristic within their own countries. Blending critical race theory and environmental criticism by scholars of color, the author rethinks the normalizing of extractive underwater practices and reflects on the ways in which tourism, scuba diving and commercial fishing extend colonial structures of invasion.Conducted between 2013 and 2016, this research took place just before new massive touristic development began in the area. This video article looks across political, historical and environmental landscapes to reflect on life and loss within Sinai's interspecies communities.Problematizing embodied practices and methodologies which invisibilize the lived experiences of BIPOC peoples, the author proposes a more politically integrated somatics through which to re-sense human bodies as extensions of our earth. This article reflects on possibilities for using embodied research for more sustainable futures.2021
