Postcolonial Governmentalities: Rationalities, Violences and Contestations / Terri-Anne Teo (2020)

Titre : Postcolonial Governmentalities: Rationalities, Violences and Contestations Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Terri-Anne Teo, Auteur Editeur : London, New York : Rowman & Littlefield International Année de publication : 2020 Importance : 270 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-78660-683-9 Langues : Anglais Résumé : This edited volume asks how governmentality and postcolonial approaches can be brought together to help us better understand specific sites and practices of contemporary postcolonial governance. The framework/approach was inspired by the recent use of governmentality approaches that emphasize how governance functions not solely through states but through multiple tactics and means that regulate the conduct of individuals and institutions through both freedom and constraint. A postcolonial approach to governance exposes the role of postcolonial sites and practices in shaping governance and the inequalities embedded within it, insofar as standards of conduct determine which subjects are privileged and excluded.Postcolonial perspectives show how governance can be both productive and repressive, functioning to impose a fixed code of conduct that objectifies (gendered, racialized, sexualized) 'others' as part of its project of improvement. In discussing governance, we must also consider how power is negotiated and challenged through forms of resistance and counter-conduct. This volume argues that we need to incorporate postcolonial theories and carefully examine postcolonial practices and sites, to understand how contemporary governance shapes various transnational inequalities and social divisions. The authors in this edited volume illustrate the value of postcolonial governance as a conceptual framework through empirical examples from Asia, Australia, Africa, and Europe. These cases unpack practices of governance operating within complex political landscapes. Cote SEXSI : R.TEO.01

Rethinking Racial Capitalism: Questions of Reproduction and Survival / Gargi Bhattacharyya (2018)

Titre : Rethinking Racial Capitalism: Questions of Reproduction and Survival Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gargi Bhattacharyya, Auteur Editeur : London, New York : Rowman & Littlefield International Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 206 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-78348-885-8 Langues : Anglais Résumé : How has capitalism created or enhanced racism? In what ways do the violent histories of slavery and empire continue to influence the allocation of global resources? Rethinking Racial Capitalism: Questions of Reproduction and Survival proposes a return to analyses of racial capitalism - the capitalism that is inextricably linked with histories of racist expropriation - and argues that it is only by tracking the interconnections between changing modes of capitalism and racism that we can hope to address the most urgent challenges of social injustice. It considers the continuing impact of global histories of racist expropriation on more recent articulations of capitalism, with a particular focus on the practices of racial capitalism, the continuing impact of uneven development, territory and border-marking, the place of reproductive labour in sustaining racial capitalism, the marketing of diversity as a consumer pleasure and the creation of supposedly 'surplus' populations.
