系列:帝国之后:法语世界和后殖民时代的法国
北非的边缘身体和不稳定的生活:支出人对处于文学分析、政治哲学和社会学十字路口的北非文学进行了研究。作者分析了与公民和社会保护有关的社会类别,特别是这些保护的破坏可能导致社会退化的方式。作者的分析始于这样一个前提:北非不稳定的生活已经成为真正的例外。换句话说,他们被认为是危险的、可牺牲的,不值得给予正式公民的权利和待遇。因此,作者将当代文学中的暴力描写视为社会失格者与掌握殖民、政治和宗教权力者之间存在脱节的结晶。此外,作者认为,为了理解当代政治和当前的不安全气氛,深入了解北非从殖民时代到现在的不稳定状况至关重要。通过确认他们的生存权,作者认为,北非的边缘机构对边缘化他们的社会提供了独特的见解,因此,从常常听不见和看不见的边缘,他们仍然挑战中心的主导思想。
Precarious Lives and Marginal Bodies in North Africa: Homo Expendibilis
Series: After the Empire: The Francophone World and Postcolonial France
Marginal Bodies and Precarious Lives in North Africa: Homo Expendibilis presents an examination of North African literature situated at the crossroads of literary analysis, political philosophy, and sociology. The author analyzes social categories in relation to civil and social protections and in particular, the ways in which disruptions to these protections can lead to social degeneration. The author’s analysis starts from the premise that precarious lives in North Africa have become true bodies of exception. In other words, they are deemed dangerous, expendable and unworthy of the rights and treatment accorded to full citizens. Thus, the author assesses portrayals of violence in contemporary literature as a crystallization of the existing disjunction between the socially disqualified and those who wield colonial, political, and religious power. Moreover, the author argues that in order to understand contemporary politics and the current climate of insecurity, a deeper understanding of precarity in North Africa from colonial times to the present is crucial. By affirming their right to exist, the author argues that the marginal bodies of North Africa offer unique insights into the society that marginalized them and thus, from the often inaudible and invisible periphery, they nevertheless challenge the dominant ideas of the center.
