"Littérature enfantine et postcolonialité : le plaisir de la « Merveille » chez Patrick Chamoiseau"
2017
International audience; no abstract
Colonial, post-colonial, neo-colonial Mediterranean: historical, archaeological and iconographical sources for a micro-history of an uncomfortable th…

Even in its most neutral meanings, the term “colonial” leads to questioning the cultural and ideological purpose of its use. This also concerns its derivatives, post-colonial and neo-colonial, whose prefixes are not to be interpreted in a merely chronological sense. This paper investigates the remote origins of a mental attitude that has resulted both in a “colonial” reading of some phenomena and in a post-colonial new interpretation. The aim is to highlight the common cultural bases of these two very different conceptions (in theory opposite and non-superimposable). Also, the interpretations which are apparently far from imperialism are not totally immune from the danger of a form of racis…
Unconditional adoption rules out the need for parent–offspring recognition in a single‐brooded colonial seabird
2021
Parent–offspring recognition (POR) is fundamental in colonial birds when the potential intermingling of chicks is higher due to the large number and proximity of nests. In species with isolated nests, where chick presence in the nest is strong contextual evidence of kinship, there might be circumstances when the parent might doubt the identity of the chick, but not enough to reject it. Olfactory-based recognition of conspecifics and nest sites in birds has gained strong evidence suggesting a potential role of olfaction in POR. Despite that, there are no studies testing it. We used Scopoli's shearwater (Calonectris diomedea) as model colonial single-brooded species with a developed olfactory…
Les Statues meurent aussi? Post-musealizzazione dell'arte coloniale.
2015
Tra il 1950 e il 1953 i cineasti Chris Marker e Alain Resnais girano in Africa e in Francia il documentario Les statues meurent aussi. Commissionato dalla rivista letteraria francese «Présence africaine», il cortometraggio è in aperta polemica con Il museo immaginario della scultura mondiale di André Malraux del 1952. Marker e Resnais, al contrario dello scrittore francese, parlano di un’unità stilistica perduta reintroducendo una triplice divisione all’interno del continuum estetico-formale universale: antropologica, riguardante la separazione tra oggetto museale esposto e pratica contestuale a cui il manufatto rimanda; storica, relativa alla ferita che la colonizzazione ha inferto alle cu…
Artico nero. La lunga notte dei popoli dei ghiacci
2016
Sette storie da un Artico nero e morente, ambientate in Canada, nella Norvegia settentrionale, in Siberia, in Groenlandia: luoghi dove la distruzione di una cultura sta anticipando gli scenari peggiori. Un’analisi politica e sociale incassata nel modello romanzo-saggio. Un modo nuovo di raccontare e fare antropologia: antropofiction.
Le combat de Victor Schoelcher contre la légalité de l'esclavage : l'abolition de 1848
2009
How has the French State been able to maintain slavery for more than fifty years after the Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen of 1789? The slave was considered, in a legal scope, not as a person but as a « movable », he was considered as an object that could be bought, sold, mutilated and tortured! Abolished for the first time in 1794, reinstated in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte, slavery would definitively disappear in France only in 1848, thanks to Victor Schoelcher's (1804-1893) decisive action. This great humanist, by a tireless fight, managed to impose an immediate abolition – and not a progressive one as in Britain – showing that if this institution was certainly legal, it wa…
Victor Schoelcher, abolitionniste et républicain : approche juridique et politique de l'oeuvre d'un fondateur de la République
2000
The aim of this judicial and political analysis is to reveal Victor Schoelcher's decisive influence in the fight for equal rights and for the republic, in the French mainland as well as in its colonies. His well known fight against slavery was just a part of his humanist defense of the republican principles : Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Schoelcher truly was a founder of the republic, taking part in the barricade insurrections against the 1851 coup and fighting against any kind of slavery or absolutism. His work addressed many aspects of our society, among which : - Slavery and the colonies (legal status of slaves, emancipated slaves and of the colonies) - Rights and liberties of men and …

Rifugiati: Voci della diaspora somala
2003
Acclaimed Somali writer Nuruddin Farah's non-fiction text is based upon a number of interviews to Somali refugees in four European nations historically close to his homeland - Italy, England, Sweden, Switzerland. Their voices intertwine, framed by that of the exile writer, providing a reconstruction of Somalia as a postcolonial nation first and a civil-war ridden failed state later.
