Decolonisation of Materialities or Materialisation of (Re-)Colonisation?

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 noi 2017
Contemporary scholarly discourses about decolonising materialities are taking two noticeable trajectories, the first trajectory privileges establishing "connections", "relationships" and "associations" between human beings and nature. The second trajectory privileges restoration, restitution, reparations for colonial dispossessions, lootings and disinheritance. While the first trajectory presupposes that colonialism was merely about "separation", "alienation", and "disconnections" between human beings and nature, the second trajectory stresses the colonialists' dispossession, disinheritance and privations of Africans. Drawing on contemporary discourses about materialities in relation to semiotics, (non-)representationalism, rhetoric, ecocriticism, territorialisation, deterritorialisation and reterritorialisation, translation, animism, science and technology studies, this book teases out the intellectually rutted terrain of African materialities. It argues that in a world of increasing impoverishment, the significance of materialities cannot be overemphasised: more so for the continent of Africa where impoverishment "materialises" in the midst of resource opulence. The book is a pacesetter in no holds barred interrogation of African materialities.
