Postkoloniální myšlení II - Edward W. Said, Aimé Césaire, Ngugi Wa Thiong o, Chinua Achebe, Achille Mbembe, Anour Abdel -Malek

Druhý díl série Postkoloniální myšlení I-IV, jejímž úvodním svazkem byl překlad knihy Frantze Fanona Černá kůže, bílé masky tvoří historické východisko odrážející angažovanou genezi postkoloniálního myšlení jako de facto emancipačního programu druhé vlny "dekolonizace" - ozbrojeného i politického procesu boje koloniálních zemí za nezávislost, který byl na Západě vnímán jako proces rozkladu evropských imperiálních říší. Tyto procesy probíhaly v Asii a Africe od konce druhé světové války (1946 Filipíny, 1947 Indie, Pákistán ad.) do poloviny let sedmdesátých. V této fázi artikulovali postkoloniální autoři v knize zastoupení perspektivy osvobození od faktické i symbolické koloniální nadvlády, od systémů podřízení, ovládání, nelidského uspořádání a útlaku. Hnutí za nezávislost v sobě nese také zásadní otázku postkoloniální identity - na jakém základě se rozvíjí a bude konstruována nová, osvobozená politika (národní) identity? Na jakém půdoryse bude krystalizovat pojem postkoloniálního národa - na základě národního esencialismu (předkoloniální etnické, jazykové, národní, kmenové "kořeny"...), anebo "konstruktivistickém" (jako myšlená společenství)? Tyto dvě do značné míry nekompatibilní koncepce indikují problémy, které jsou blízké také svědkům i aktérům postsocialistické transformace po roce 1989.

Devil on the Cross - Thiong'o Ngugi Wa

A legendary work of African literature, Devil on the Cross is one of the cornerstones of Ngugi wa Thiong''o''s enduring fame - and at the heart of his perennial contention for the Nobel Prize. An impassioned cry for a Kenya free of dictatorship and for African writers to work in their own local dialects, it has had profound influences on Africa and on African literature.Written on toilet paper while Ngugi wa Thiong''o was in prison, this novel tells the tragic story of Wariinga, a young woman who moves from a rural Kenyan town to the capital, Nairobi, only to be exploited by her boss and later a corrupt businessman. As Wariinga struggles to survive, she begins to realize that her problems are only symptoms of a larger societal malaise and that much of the misfortune stems from the Western, capitalist influences on her country. Climaxing in an unforgettable scene of the ''Devil''s Feast'', a satirical parable on Western culture and business practices, Devil on the Cross is an essential story of the post-colonial African experience.

Aime Cesaire: No to Humiliation - Nimrod

Aime Cesaire was a poet and, later, a politician from the Caribbean island of Martinique, who spoke out against the sufferings and humiliations endured by the peoples of the former French colonies. In Aime Cesaire: No to Humiliation, we are with Cesaire in 1930s Paris. The young Martinican poet and his friends Leopold Sedar Senghor and Leon Gontran Damas are launching the Negritude movement. Together, they celebrate their Black African roots, protesting French colonial rule and policies of assimilation. They invite West Indians, Senegalese, Guyanese, and others to reject the suffocating French colonial presence and to take pride in their accents, their cultures and their shared histories. Aime''s great book-length poem, Notebook on the Return to the Native Land, and other works, are a global inspiration. His speeches enliven the crowds back home in Martinique, and he rises in the political arena, defending Martinican identity. As a writer, as the Mayor of Fort-de-France and deputy of the French National Congress, Aime Cesaire continues to write and to fight against colonial power and for the dignity of Black peoples everywhere.

Brutalism - Achille Mbembe

In Brutalism, eminent social and critical theorist Achille Mbembe invokes the architectural aesthetic of brutalism to describe our moment, caught up in the pathos of demolition and production on a planetary scale. Just as brutalist architecture creates an affect of overwhelming weight and destruction, Mbembe contends that contemporary capitalism crushes and dominates all spheres of existence. In our digital, technologically focused era, capitalism has produced a becoming-artificial of humanity and the becoming-human of machines. This blurring of the natural and artificial presents a planetary existential threat in which contemporary society’s goal is to precipitate the mutation of the human species into a condition that is at once plastic and synthetic. Mbembe argues that Afro-diasporic thought presents the only solution for breaking the totalizing logic of contemporary capitalism: repairing that which is broken, developing a new planetary consciousness, and reforming a community of humans in solidarity with all living things.

Necropolitics - Achille Mbembe

In Necropolitics Achille Mbembe, a leader in the new wave of francophone critical theory, theorizes the genealogy of the contemporary world, a world plagued by ever-increasing inequality, militarization, enmity, and terror as well as by a resurgence of racist, fascist, and nationalist forces determined to exclude and kill. He outlines how democracy has begun to embrace its dark side---what he calls its “nocturnal body”---which is based on the desires, fears, affects, relations, and violence that drove colonialism. This shift has hollowed out democracy, thereby eroding the very values, rights, and freedoms liberal democracy routinely celebrates. As a result, war has become the sacrament of our times in a conception of sovereignty that operates by annihilating all those considered enemies of the state. Despite his dire diagnosis, Mbembe draws on post-Foucauldian debates on biopolitics, war, and race as well as Fanon''s notion of care as a shared vulnerability to explore how new conceptions of the human that transcend humanism might come to pass. These new conceptions would allow us to encounter the Other not as a thing to exclude but as a person with whom to build a more just world.

Chinua Achebe - Dr. Toyin Falola

An imaginative, narratological reading of Chinua Achebe''s novels, stories, poetry, and essays through a literary and historical framework.Toyin Falola analyzes fictional and historical cartographies of Africa in Achebe''s literary works to offer a critical representation of Africa''s present and future. In particular, he focuses on the historical valuation of a full range of the writer''s works – novels including Things Fall Apart, but also short stories, poems, and essays – as important materials that have contributed to the political events in Nigeria and, by extension, Africa. The raw creativity found in Achebe''s stories and his ability to tell the Nigerian story – precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial – have endeared him to many, including readers and those critical of him and his works. Chinua Achebe: Narrating Africa in Fictions and History analyzes all of the writer''s works, dwelling on the Nigerian political context upon which many, if not all, of his narratives lie. As a result, it examines methodologies of narration and ideologies that allow his works to resonate with the imagination of Africa.

Psanci této země - Postkoloniální myšlení V. - Franz Fanon

Psanci této země Frantze Fanona jsou psychiatrickou a psychologickou analýzou dehumanizačních vlivů kolonizace na jednotlivce- muže a ženu, a na národ, ze kterých plynou širší sociální, kulturní a politické důsledky příznačné pro vznik sociálního hnutí za dekolonizaci osoby a lidu. Francouzský název knihy Les damnés de la Terre pochází z úvodních slov Internacionály, levicové hymny 19. století. V úvodu knihy Psanci této země z roku 1961 podpořil filozof Jean-Paul Sartre Fanonovu obhajobu spravedlivého násilí kolonizovaných proti kolonizátorovi jako nezbytnou pro jejich mentální zdraví a politické osvobození. Sartre následně použil tento úvod v Kolonialismu a neokolonialismu (1964), politicko-filozofické kritice francouzského kolonialismu v Alžíru. Politické zaměření textu je zřejmé již v první kapitole nazvané "Concerning Violence" (O násilí), kde Fanon kritizuje kolonialismus a jeho postkoloniální odkaz, pro který je násilí prostředkem katarze a osvobození od statusu koloniálního subjektu. Kniha Psanci této země prostřednictvím kritiky nacionalismu a imperialismu představuje diskuzi nad osobním a společenským duševním zdravím, diskuzi nad tím, jak je jazyk (slovo) využíván k ustavení imperialistických identit, jako je kolonizátor a kolonizovaný, s cílem naučit a psychologicky zformovat původního obyvatele a kolonizátora do jejich příslušných rolí otroka a pána, a diskuzi nad rolí intelektuála v revoluci.

The seminal work that has redefined our understanding of colonialism and empire, with a preface by the author''Stimulating, elegant and pugnacious'' Observer''Magisterial'' Terry EagletonIn this highly-acclaimed work, Edward Said surveys the history and nature of Western attitudes towards the East, considering orientalism as a powerful European ideological creation - a way for writers, philosophers and colonial administrators to deal with the ''otherness'' of eastern culture, customs and beliefs. He traces this view through the writings of Homer, Nerval and Flaubert, Disraeli and Kipling, whose imaginative depictions have greatly contributed to the West''s romantic and exotic picture of the Orient. Drawing on his own experiences as an Arab Palestinian living in the West, Said examines how these ideas can be a reflection of European imperialism and racism.

Vzpomínky Edwarda Saida politologa, historika, novináře a spisovatele (1. 11. 1935 Jeruzalém – 25. 9. 2003 New York) popisují dětství a mládí v mezitím zmizelém arabském světě. S autentickým pocitem osamělosti a vyřazenosti líčí, jak navštěvoval britské a americké školy v Káhiře, kde byl Edward, Arab narozený v palestinském Jeruzalému spolužáky vnímán jako cizinec, a nedokázal mezi ně zapadnout. Frustrace a vnitřní nejistota jsou Saidovy dominantní pocity, které ho provázejí nejen při pobytu v Jeruzalémě, Káhiře, New Yorku a palestinském Dhúru, ale i v značně uzavřené rodině. Tam vládne patriarchální otec a emocionálně nevyrovnaná matka a rodiče nevědomky ambivalentní vztahy uvnitř rodiny i mezi Edwardem a vnějším světem ještě umocňují. Saidovo povědomí vyloučenosti a nepatřičnosti má však svůj zdroj zejména v jinakosti, způsobené jeho příslušností k palestinskému etniku a v pocitu historické křivdy spáchané na Palestincích.

A major work by one of the great public intellectuals of the twentieth century, The Question of Palestine was the first book to narrate the modern Palestinian experience in English. Edward Said’s project to ‘bring Palestine into history’ was unquestionably a success – there is no longer a question of whether Palestine had a history before colonization – and yet Palestinian self-determination is as distant as ever. With the rigorous scholarship he brought to his influential Orientalism and shaped by his own life in exile in New York, Said’s account of the traumatic national encounter of the Palestinian people with Zionism is still as pertinent and incisive today as it was on first publication in 1979.
