Full textAbstract:
This article documents the linguistic, disciplinary, geographical and ideological circulation of the notion of ‘inclusive writing/d’écriture inclusive’ in order to understand the French controversy surrounding the term. The article shows that North American Protestant feminist theologists first spread the expression in the 1970s. The expression then circulated in feminist circles in English and French, in Europe and North America, but also in the fields of disability and pedagogy. Its success in the French space, however, is not only due to its Protestant roots but also to a republican definition of inclusion emerging in France in the 1990s. By the time the controversy shot up, the paradigm of inclusion was thus loaded with its French republican meaning as much as its English and/or North American meaning, creating an ideological paradox that limits inclusive writing’s critical capacity and fails to question relations of domination.

Abstract The aim of this article is to update the exegetical discussion of the concept of patrimonialism in the sociological writings of Max Weber. In the wake of the results of the latest publication of his works, it discusses the evolution of the sociology of domination in the different stages of writing of Economics and society, with special emphasis on the changes that Weber introduces to the traditional type of domination. Focusing on the history of the work, two conceptual models of patrimonialism are distinguished that follow each other in his writings: the domestic model and the organizational model. From a systematic point of view, these models will be detailed in their theoretical nature (ideal-type) and as comparative instruments of socio-empirical analysis. In the conclusion, and in affinity with Weber's models, two ideal-typical conceptions of patrimonialism present in the Brazilian debate are characterized: the socio-patriarchal and the institutional-liberal conceptions.

Internet algorithms influence the news we read, the products we buy, the music we listen to, the people we interact with, and even the words we use to communicate. Our preferences, beliefs, perceptions, and behaviours are all shaped by algorithmic processes, threatening our capacities for self-awareness and self-formation. What’s more, algorithms operate smoothly and imperceptibly under the surface of our postdigital existence. How can we begin to make sense of our relationships with algorithms, knowing that they operate beyond the limits of perception? How can we reconsider the human-algorithm relationship as a way of opening new possibilities of being? Using a/r/tographic inquiry, I addressed these questions through a months-long process of walking, writing, and weaving, revealing insights that may help illuminate a path toward living with the complexities and contradictions while hanging on to the parts of ourselves that remain resistant to domination.

Full textAbstract:
Shifts in writing technology are usually taken to mark a shift from discretionary to rule-bound, impersonal forms of government. Equating writing technology with rules, however, obscures how counterfeiting, both alleged and real, and the exertion of official discretion can consolidate a government of writing. In his important study of Yemeni scribal culture, The Calligraphic State: Textual Domination and History in a Muslim Society, Brinkley Messick modifies Weberian models of domination by calling for the study of textual domination that intersects in diverse ways with other dimensions of authority. Messick relates the demise of the calligraphic state to the advent of legal codification and print technology. With the arrival of impersonal documents of government and a form of rational law, he argues, writing itself ceased to be the “non-arbitrary mark of the person” and the relationship between the sign and signified was no longer connected by an intermediary figure. Similarly, the notion that the innovations of disciplinary writing constituted a new assemblage of control exercised through the “unavoidable visibility of subjects” has been extremely productive in delineating the colonial career of modern infrastructural power. Following the work of Bernard Cohn, the colonial state's “investigative modalities” have been shown to be integral to colonial command and the production of an ever-accumulating corpus of reports. Statistical surveys, reports, and censuses in colonies did not create a uniform template of rule but did enable the operation of inherently selective, targeted, and differentially articulated projects of governance. These gains notwithstanding, the debates over colonial governance have remained limited to differing estimations of the state's successful mastery of information, and whether its taxonomies were collaboratively authored by intermediaries or imposed upon the colonized. We need to give more attention to the complex articulation of records and reports with the law under conditions of exogenous rule.

Full textAbstract:
It is widely believed that nationalism in India stemmed from European domination. Imperialism, for the first time, generated the sentiment of ‘nationhood’ that brought together people of diverse religions, languages, and lifestyles to demand home rule. The process involved cultural revivalism, yet retained strong ties with the inheritance of two centuries of foreign domination. The spur to the writing of cultural tracts was sharp and the attempt to rewrite the ‘true’ history of their country became the leading preoccupation of intellectuals. Consequently, indigenous histories of different kinds emerged over a period of years preceding independence and in the years after 1947. Different generic models were used in an attempt to replace the ‘inauthentic’ historical accounts compiled by Europeans, featuring instead themes or motifs of writing that emphasized an assertion of a culture which was comparable, if not superior, to that of their European peers. Correspondingly, historiography and fiction-writing depicted national heroes, full of deeds of valour and bravery, engaged in wresting their ‘nation’ from the aggressor by an emphasis on indigenous themes. Models of writing structured around the earlier epics, the use of local dialects, the emphasis on ancient rituals and practices, all went into the making of a ‘pure’ tradition.

Full textAbstract:
New writing practices in qualitative research include evocative writing—a research practice through which we can investigate how we construct the world, ourselves, and others, and how standard objectifying practices of social science unnecessarily limit us and social science. Evocative representations do not take writing for granted but offer multiple ways of thinking about a topic, reaching diverse audiences, and nurturing the writer. They also offer an opportunity for rethinking criteria used to judge research and reconsidering institutional practices and their effects on community. Language is a constitutive force, creating a particular view of reality and the Self. No textual staging is ever innocent (including this one). Styles of writing are neither fixed nor neutral but reflect the historically shifting domination of particular schools or paradigms. Social scientific writing, like all other forms of writing, is a sociohistorical construction, and, therefore, mutable.

Full textAbstract:
Conservée aux Archives municipales de Metz se trouve actuellement une collection de près de 1500 documents épistolaires datés entre 1383 et 1548 qui concernent la résolution de conflits entre la ville de Metz et les juridictions voisines. Mais, pour quelles raisons et à quelle fin les autorités urbaines accordèrent-elles tant de valeur à ces documents, justifiant d’en assurer la préservation sur la longue durée malgré leur nature éphémère une fois résolue la requête exposée dans la lettre ? Ce sont à ces questions que tente de répondre cette thèse. Par l’analyse détaillée de ce fonds documentaire pris dans son ensemble, il a été possible de porter un regard renouvelé sur la fabrique du pouvoir à la fin du Moyen, en plaçant au cœur de notre réflexion l’effet des pratiques documentaires sur la construction de la légitimité de la domination dans l’espace lorrain des groupes élitaires et détenteur du gouvernement de la ville de Metz : les paraiges. En nous fondant sur les apports récents de l’anthropologie de l’écrit et de l’anthropologie juridique, nous avons choisi d’adopter une approche documentaire qui consiste à examiner quantitativement et qualitativement les divers aspects (composition, matérialité, contenu) du fonds archivistique des lettres missives (AA18-AA28). Pour ce faire, nous avons eu recours à trois logiciels : Filemaker (analyse des éléments du système documentaire), TXM (analyse de textométrie) et QGIS (analyse des données spatiales). En considérant la collection comme un véritable système documentaire, il a été possible de révéler les liens structurant l’ensemble des pièces qui la composent (lettres originales, traductions, brouillons, copies, etc.) et de proposer quelques voies d’explication des fonctions médiévales de leur préservation pour les élites urbaines messines. L’analyse sérielle du matériel épistolaire a ainsi fait ressortir les fonctions juridiques, politiques et sociales attribuées aux lettres missives et les enjeux pour les paraiges de les préserver sur la longue durée. Plus qu’une question d’échange d’information, les lettres missives analysées possédaient une force motrice, puisqu’elles engageaient, voir contraignaient leurs destinataires à porter une action dans le but de rétablir les liens sociaux rompus ou mis à mal par la perpétration d’actions violentes considérées illégitimes. Inscrits dans le contexte des procédures amiables de la gestion de conflits issus de la faide, les choix conscients effectués par les paraiges pour assurer la préservation de ces documents et pour traiter cette volumineuse masse documentaire sont autant d’actions qui intervenaient dans la construction de l’image qu’ils se forgeaient d’eux-mêmes. Les lettres préservées gardent la trace d’un pouvoir urbain autonome et puissant, qui était profondément inscrit dans la hiérarchie complexe de l’aristocratie locale (urbaine, seigneuriale ou ecclésiastique). La thèse permet de mettre en évidence certains aspects de la domination sociale des paraiges peu pris en compte par la recherche et de mieux saisir les rapports étroits entre l’écrit, le gouvernement, l’espace et la construction de l’autorité, offrant une vision renouvelée de l’histoire messine à la fin du Moyen ÂgeIn the Archives municipales de Metz is now kept a collection of nearly 1500 epistolary documents dated between 1383 and 1548 related to the resolution of conflicts between the city of Metz and the neighbouring jurisdictions. But why and for what purpose did the urban authorities attach so much value to these documents, justifying their long-term preservation despite their ephemeral nature once the request set out in the letter has been resolved? It is to these questions that this thesis attempts to answer. Through a detailed analysis of this documentary collection taken as a whole, it has been possible to take a renewed look at the making of power at the end of the Middle Ages, placing at the heart of our reflection the effect of documentary practices on the construction of the legitimacy of domination in the Lorraine space of the elite groups and holder of the government of the city of Metz: the paraiges. Based on recent contributions from the anthropology of the written word and legal anthropology, we have chosen to adopt a documentary approach that consists of examining quantitatively and qualitatively the various aspects (composition, materiality, content) of the archival collection of letters (AA18-AA28). To do so, we used three software programs: Filemaker (analysis of the elements of the documentary system), TXM (textometric analysis) and QGIS (spatial data analysis). By considering the collection as a genuine “documentary system”, it was possible to reveal the links structuring all the components of the collection (original letters, translations, drafts, copies, etc.) and to propose some explanations of the medieval functions of their preservation for the urban elites of Metz. The serial analysis of the epistolary material thus brought out the legal, political and social functions attributed to the letters and the reasons for the paraiges to preserve them over the long term. More than a question of transmitting information, the letters analyzed possessed a “driving force”, since they were engaged, or even forced their recipients to take action with the aim of re-establishing social relation that had been broken or damaged by the perpetration of violent actions considered illegitimate. Inscribed in the context of the amicable procedures of conflict’s resolution resulting of the feud, the conscious choices made by the paraiges to ensure the preservation of these documents and to deal with this voluminous mass of documents are so many actions that intervene in the construction of the image they forged of themselves. The preserved letters keep the trace of an autonomous and powerful urban power, which was deeply inscribed in the complex hierarchy of the local aristocracy (urban, seigneurial or ecclesiastical). The thesis allows us to highlight certain aspects of the social domination of the paraiges that have rarely been taken into account by research and to better understand the close relationship between the written word, government, space and the construction of authority, offering a renewed perspective on the history of Metz at the end of the Middle Ages

Que dit et que peut la littérature, notamment dans les sociétés qui ont été marquées par la colonisation ? Tels sont les deux grands questionnements auxquels tente de répondre cette thèse. Préparée sous la direction du Professeur Victorien Lavou (Université de Perpignan, France) et sous la codirection du Professeure Clotilde Chantal ALLELA (Université Omar Bongo, Gabon), ma thèse a pour titre : « Ecriture de la domination en Amérique Centrale (Guatemala) et en Guinée Equatoriale. Une traversée critique des romans de Miguel Ángel Asturias, El papa verde 1954, et de Donato Ndongo-Bidyogo, Los poderes de la tempestad 1997 ».Miguel Ángel Asturias et Donato Ndongo Bidyogo représentent deux grandes figures de la littérature moderne et contemporaine du Guatemala et de la Guinée Equatoriale. Leurs romans font état, à la fois, de la mauvaise gouvernance, de la terreur instituée par les régimes en place (cela est plus visible dans Los poderes de la tempestad (1997), et de la domination étatsunienne sur le Guatemala mais aussi sur le reste de l'Amérique Centrale. Réaliser une traversée critique de ces deux romans et, au-delà, de ces deux régions du Monde constitue l'un des objectifs principaux de cette étude. C'est en cela que réside, à mon humble avis, son originalité. En effet, il existe peu ou pas de travaux universitaires d'envergure qui proposent une telle démarche privilégiant deux écrivains que tout ou presque oppose, sauf peut-être le fait que leurs deux pays aient été colonisés par l'Espagne. Cela dit, si la critique autorisée les reconnaît comme des écrivains engagés, ils n'ont pas moins le souci de produire une littérature engageante. On entend par là qu'on ne doit pas réduire leurs productions à un pamphlet dans lequel ils dénoncent de manière réaliste les malheurs que traversent leurs pays respectifs. Il convient donc de ne pas perdre de vue la dimension « fictive » de leurs textes. Finalement, ce travail tente de rendre compte des rapports complexes entre littératures, sociétés et subjectivités dans les sociétés postcolonialesWhat does literature say and what can it do, especially in societies that have been marked by colonisation? These are the two main questions that this dissertation tries to answer. Prepared under the supervision of Professor Victorien Lavou (Université de Perpignan, France) and codirection of Professor Chantal Allela-Kwevi (Université Omar Bongo, Gabon), it is entitled: « Ecriture de la domination en Amérique Centrale (Guatemala) et en Guinée Equatoriale. Une traversée critique des romans de Miguel Ángel Asturias, El papa verde (1954), et de Donato Ndongo-Bidyogo, Los poderes de la tempestad (1997) ». Miguel Ángel Asturias and Donato Ndongo Bidyogo are two great figures of modern and contemporary literature from Guatemala and Equatorial Guinea. Their novels deal with bad governance, the terror installed by the regimes in place (this is most visible in Los poderes de la tempestad (1997), and the domination of the United States over Guatemala and the rest of Central America. To propose a cross-view between these two novels and, beyond, between these two regions of the World is also one of the main objectives of the dissestation. Indeed, there are few large-scale academic works that cross-reference the writing of these two writers, who have almost everything in contrary, except perhaps the fact that their countries were colonized by Spain. That said, if authorized critics recognize them as engaged writers, they are no less concerned with producing an engaging literature. This means that their works should not be reduced to a pamphlet in which they realistically denounce the misfortunes of their respective countries. The 'fictional' dimension of their novels should therefore not be lost sight of. Finally, this thesis attempts to account for the complex relationships between literatures, societies, and subjectivities in postcolonial societies

Nikakis, Karen Simpson. "The use of narrative in order to break the masculine domination of the hero quest." Thesis, 1997. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/15655/.
Full textAbstract:
In 1949, the mythologer Joseph Campbell published his treatise The Hero with a Thousand Faces, in which he analysed hero myths from disparate times and places in
order to construct a universal hero journey - the monomyth. Drawing on the works of Carl Jung, Campbell gave the monomyth a psychological dimension, suggesting that its
universality resulted from its function in guiding men and women through major life transitions. The main elements and motifs of the monomyth are replicated in modern narratives, both visually and in writing. However, these modern heroes, like their more ancient counterparts, are predominantly male; their hero quests, those of manhood. In spite of this imbalance, the monomyth can serve the same psychological purposes for the female hero. What is required is the construction of a narrative which allows a reevaluation of traditional female traits, and by so doing, a redefinition of the meaning of heroism. The novel Snowmelt shows that this is possible, through the creation of a female hero whose feminine strengths of social obligation and connection, enable her to successfully navigate the classic (masculine) hero-quest landscape to adulthood.

Wang, Lurong. "Immigration, Literacy, and Mobility: A Critical Ethnographic Study of Well-educated Chinese Immigrants’ Trajectories in Canada." Thesis, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/1807/27608.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation interrogates the deficit assumptions about English proficiency of skilled immigrants who were recruited by Canadian governments between the late 1990s and early 2000s. Through the lens of literacy as social practice, the eighteen-month ethnographic qualitative research explores the sequential experiences of settlement and economic integration of seven well-educated Chinese immigrant professionals. The analytical framework is built on sociocultural approaches to literacy and learning, as well as the theories of discourses and language reproduction. Using multiple data sources (observations, conversational interviews, journal and diary entries, photographs, documents, and artifacts collected in everyday lives), I document many different ways that well-educated Chinese immigrants take advantage of their language and literacy skills in English across several social domains of home, school, job market, and workplace.
Examining the trans-contextual patterning of the participants’ language and literacy activities reveals that immigrant professionals use literacy as assistance in seeking, negotiating, and taking hold of resources and opportunities within certain social settings. However, my data show that their language and literacy engagements might not always generate positive consequences for social networks, job opportunities, and upward economic mobility. Close analyses of processes and outcomes of the participants’ engagements across these discursive discourses make it very clear that the monolithic assumptions of the dominant language shape and reinforce structural barriers by constraining their social participation, decision making, and learning practice, and thereby make literacy’s consequences unpredictable. The deficit model of language proficiency serves the grounds for linguistic stereotypes and economic marginalization, which produces profoundly consequential effects on immigrants’ pathways as they strive for having access to resources and opportunities in the new society.
My analyses illuminate the ways that language and literacy create the complex web of discursive spaces wherein institutional agendas and personal desires are intertwined and collide in complex ways that constitute conditions and processes of social and economic mobility of immigrant populations. Based on these analyses, I argue that immigrants’ successful integration into a host country is not about the mastery of the technical skills in the dominant language. Rather, it is largely about the recognition and acceptance of the value of their language use and literacy practice as they attempt to partake in the globalized new economy.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses Indonesian historical writing after independence. At the time Indonesia became independent, knowledge of academic history-writing was virtually non-existent. Indonesian elites then faced the postcolonial predicament of having to adopt Western nationalistic approaches to history in order to oppose the Dutch version of the archipelago’s history that had legitimized colonial domination. Soon after independence, the military took over and dominated the writing of history in Indonesia for several decades. Challenges to the military’s view of history came from artistic representations of history, and from historians—trained in the social sciences—who emphasized a multidimensional approach balancing central and local perspectives. However, it was only after 2002 that historians could openly criticize the role of the military.

This chapter examines the development of Arab British fiction. It begins with an overview of the making of Arab British fiction, citing anti-colonialism, Orientalism, and hybridization as the main elements of Anglophone Arab writing up to the close of the twentieth century. It then considers British novels about Egypt in which paternalistic “genuine love” for, and “wise understanding” of, the politics of Egypt overlaid colonial attitudes. It also analyzes Arab British fiction in relation to the colonial experience Arabs received from British domination in Arab lands, which lasted from the end of World War I to the early 1950s. Finally, it discusses postcolonial crosscurrents in the works of Arab British women, along with the predicament of exile and Diasporic consciousness in male Arab British fiction.

Ed Sullivan dominated Sunday night primetime television for a quarter of a century with his extremely popular and inclusive variety show (first called Toast of the Town, then The Ed Sullivan Show). A former (and concurrent) Broadway columnist, Sullivan adored the mythology of Broadway and promoted its history—in song and performance—on practically every broadcast. Expanding on the reach of radio, television allowed for millions of Americans to get their first glimpse of Broadway magic through Sullivan’s promotion of current shows and tributes to giants of the past. The musical Bye Bye Birdie paid homage to the great impresario of the television age by writing him into the show. Sullivan’s domination of the airwaves also nearly parallels the so-called Golden Age of the Broadway musical.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter Six ("Bartleby"): Melville's "Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Tale of Wall St." has become a signpost in cultural theory for a "new" politics of a "new" capitalism without borders in which wealth and inequality are assumed to acquire "materiality" in the circuits of exchange and thus invalidate the classical Marxist critique. Whether understood in terms of a "refusal of work" (Negri), or as signifying a "new" form of praxis of a "coming community" (e.g., Žižek, Agamben), contemporary readings of "Bartleby" serve as a lexicon in which capitalism is represented as having outlived its basic contradiction inscribed in wage-labor/capital relations and therefore the best mode of "resistance" to capitalism is the "interrupting" of the flows of exchange value. Against what I argue are such accommodationist views— accomodationist in the sense that they all, no matter their surface differences, argue that the time for revolutionary change is over and thus accommodate the domination of finance capital—in this chapter I give an original reading of "Bartleby," along with some exemplary instances of its cyber-left readers, as providing an ideology of capitalism that limits resistance to the realm of circulation and instead will argue for the new not as cultural change in the terms of exploitation but the new as abolishing exploitation. Keywords: Melville; Bartleby, cyber-capitalism; Žižek; Negri; Agamben.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter examines languages as a third point of entanglement that has both spatial and temporal ramifications while at the same time being sites where domination is both sustained and disrupted. It starts by describing the linguistic reality of the islands in the seventeenth century discussing how the plurilingualism that existed caused challenges for the narratives, which had to abide to contemporary aesthetics. The analysis show that travelers engaged with languages as praxes and were forced into conceiving languages as processual constantly changing in relation to other languages, existing languages as well as languages in the making. Focusing principally on Breton’s dictionary, it demonstrates how travelogues testify to the inherent creativity in language crossings. The second section looks at the inclusion of direct speech in travelogues as framed within codes of representation that dramatized Indigenous and enslaved peoples, staging them for particular purposes and following rhetorical conventions. The final section challenges these formal forms of representation looking at scenes of exchanges in everyday life asking how this expression of control over other peoples’ expression also turned into sites where others would “talk back.” Throughout the chapter, Glissant’s thoughts on the role of language in the shaping of French Caribbean Baroque as well as Sarduy’s reading of Baroque language will be made operative together with theories around hetero- and translingualism.

Full textAbstract:
The paper is essentially based on two writings by Hannah Arendt: Marx and the tradition of Western political thought and Vita activa. In her confrontation with Marx, the author denounces the ambiguity of the glorification of labour and rejects the idea that absolute domination of necessity may well be lost. In the analysis of the different forms of operating Arendt persists in a characterization of work as a low level of existence because it pertains to the body, needs, the simple preservation of individual life. In this way the feeling of a mutual curlency of labour, work and action is lost. At the bottom of the labour society, Arendt finds marked attention to the happiness of the unhappy people, who would be at the origin of dangerous revolutionary excesses.

Full textAbstract:
Arguing that the discourse of insect collecting is one of objectification and domination, and that entomological classification and practices continue to reflect concerns about sex and gender which were present in its eighteenth- and nineteenth-century instantiations, this chapter aligns the objectification of women with that of insects. It interrogates the notion of aesthetic disinterestedness as licence for such objectification, asking whether aesthetic disinterestedness permits an empathetic disengagement which, at its worst, leads to a sociopathic lack of ethical awareness. The chapter has three parts, focusing on John Fowles’s The Collector, insects (particularly butterflies and moths) in contemporary nature writing and, finally, the role of lepidoptery in the fiction of Vladimir Nabokov. The closing section examines the relationship between ethics and aesthetics, appealing to the simultaneous necessity of both cross-species empathetic engagement and of a distancing that is alert to its own subjective positioning.

This chapter assesses key themes in medieval Welsh understandings of the past and summarizes the political history of medieval Wales and the contexts in which historical texts were written. The themes are introduced with reference to the historical works that open the Red Book of Hergest, a major compilation of Welsh-language texts commissioned towards the end of the fourteenth century by Hopcyn ap Tomas, a cultured member of the Welsh gentry also known for his expertise in political prophecy. The chapter emphasizes the importance of the idea that the Welsh were descendants of the Britons who had once held sovereignty over the island of Britain, and were thus believed to be ultimately descended from the Trojans. One central question addressed is how far this British dimension, together with the political divisions of Wales and the impact of English domination and conquest, complicate the claims of medieval Welsh history writing to be regarded as an example of national history comparable with medieval histories of the Irish, English, and French.

Abstract The dynamic between the spoken and the written word is a particularly productive one in French Caribbean culture. Given the crucial, if corralled, place of oral culture in the colonial era, and given the historical use of literacy, particularly perhaps in French, as an instrument of colonial domination by assimilation, the stand in of writing in the ex-colonial or neo-colonial Caribbean is bound to be complex. While recognizing the special place of oral production in French Caribbean history and culture, Eduard Glissandi is careful to distinguish between the status of the oral tradition in what he terms ‘cultures ataviques’ or ‘atavistic cultures’, on the one hand, and in ‘cultures composes’ or ‘composite cultures’, on the other.This distinction allows him to avoid setting up a binary opposition between Caribbean morality and writing.

Abstract The introduction offers an overview of the book’s arguments and provides chapter summaries. It details core ideas in systems thinking and anticolonial literatures that deeply underscore the structural features of colonial violence. It lays the foundations for the conceptualization of settler colonial social systems as adaptive, self-healing systems that have a design architecture built to reproduce colonial relations of domination. It shows how these relations uphold settler colonial white supremacy’s long-term ability to reinvent itself in new guises and to enact structural violences across a broadening range of intersecting domains and identities, and it highlights the integral relationship between gender-based violence and settler colonial relations of domination that is central to the book’s arguments. It includes a metaphilosophical account of why the book was written and what the author’s personal and political stakes are in writing it.

Abstract Dissent in British writing about India during the colonial period is comparatively easy to recognize and define, even while it changes tone and shape in response to shifting historical contingencies over the long period of British rule. In India, after independence and the trauma of Partition, the nationalist consensus against imperial domination that had held the freedom movement together broke apart into complex and aggressive internal conflicts: regional, political, religious, and social.

Full textAbstract:
Huang Lihai is one of the most active contemporary Chinese poets in the past two decades. His poems are a return to poetry, language and life. In the era of change and grand discourse dominating the aesthetic interpretation of literature, Huang Lihai’s poetry and spiritual exploration have obvious implications. His vitality in poetry creation and poetry activities has an important connection with his Christian faith and his thought resources. Huang Lihai pays close attention to individual life with heavy religious feelings, and tries to restore the relationship between man and god, the relationship between man and man, and the relationship between man and nature in the post-modern era. Backed by belief, he maintained human dignity and integrity with poetry, and opened up the divine dimension of poetry writing, which opened up a new aesthetic dimension for the Chinese contemporary poetry.

My argument is that the history of space can be built by montage. I'm a documentary filmmaker and editor. I understand film as a support for writing in fragments. I think that the filmic form, capable of carrying movements and times, testimonies and texts, past and present, is a suitable support for the history of space. There is a visual form of knowledge and a wisdom of the gaze, as in Warburg's Atlas, largely disregarded by the academy as a way of producing knowledge. If montage is a polyphonic device that uses forgotten remains and heterogeneous narrations to dismantle the official story and reassemble another story from its critical constellations, no instrument seems to me more adequate than a film to execute it. Through the search for other ways of narrating the urban experience, following Benjamin from the rags and the residues, operating knowledge from the anarchic potentialities of the fragment and the problematization through doubt, through the incomplete and through the unfinished. For Didi-Huberman, the empirical and creative exercise proposed by Benjamin is capable of bringing out other possibilities from the dismantling of certainties. It allows us to think through the differences in the gaps left between the fragments. The montage allows for the simultaneity of times and the emergence of symptoms, the revelation of failures, conflicts, heterogeneity, in perforating tradition and colliding with the text. If montage serves all this, it also serves the decolonization of perspectives and methodologies, serves to narrate the history of subalterns and the hidden histories of empires. It also can be used to articulate memory, narration and history in the attempt to grasp reality. I propose the use of cinematographic montage as a method of knowledge production, as an important part of the research and whose result will be a constitutive and inseparable part of the thesis. Film as a method for the social sciences. In addition to assembling the fragments, the author's narrative interference is a critical point of the proposed experience. Delivering an account of the position from which one narrates is, therefore, fundamental. The narration does not impose itself as a voice of God over the material, as it neither affirms nor has certainties. It is organized on the incompleteness of the process. The narration sheds light on the background of the painting, on what History disregarded, on what was considered disposable or unimportant by the discourse of the dominator. It is thinking through differences and from the cracks of what was enunciated by the authority. It is thinking from accidents and ghosts.I propose the integration of the result of film montage experience in the general organization of the thesis, so that the chapters can vary between the two supports, text and film, being organized according to what the material itself indicates.
