The colonial project scripted a unipolar spatial discourse that saw the colonies as an extension of European borders. In his monograph, Mohit Chandna engages with narrations of spatial conflicts in French and Francophone literature and film from the nineteenth to the early twenty-first century. In literary works by Jules Verne, Ananda Devi, and Patrick Chamoiseau, and film by Michael Haneke, Chandna analyzes the depiction of ever-changing borders and spatial grammar within the colonial project. In so doing, he also examines the ongoing resistance to the spatial legacies of colonial practices that act as omnipresent enforcers of colonial borders. Literature and film become sites that register colonial spatial paradigms and advance competing narratives that fracture the dominance of these borders. Through its analyses 'Spatial Boundaries, Abounding Spaces' shows that colonialism is not a finished project relegated to our past. Colonialism is present in the here and now, and exercises its power through the borders that define us."--Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 $a Introduction: charting course -- Around the world in eighty (one) days -- Dislocating the Indian nation: Ananda Devi's Homelands -- Martinique: space, language, gender -- Out of place: French family at (Algerian) war -- Epilogue: Interjecting passages. 650 0 $a French literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z France $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Colonies in literature. 650 0 $a Colonies in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Boundaries in literature. 650 0 $a Boundaries in motion pictures. 650 7 $a Boundaries in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837088 650 7 $a Boundaries in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902606 650 7 $a Colonies in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868477 650 7 $a Colonies in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902849 650 7 $a French literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934688 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9789461663849 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020233.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC8DA4F8EE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
