- Verkorte versie van de Edgar du Perronslezing op 16 april 2019. De auteur analyseert het koloniale en seksistische beeld van de hoofdpersoon in Du Perron's roman 'Het land van herkomst' (1935), dat zich voor een deel afspeelt in Nederlands-Indië. Ze beschrijft hoe Du Perron, die in de hoofdpersoon te herkennen is, in het boek inzicht geeft in de raciale en klassehierarchische verhoudingen in de koloniale samenleving en de superieuriteit van de witte bovenklasse.

- Description
- Cannibal Fictions brings together two periods in U.S. history: the years between the Civil War and World War I and the post-Vietnam era, when the nation was beginning to seriously question its own global agenda. Berglund shows how P. T. Barnum, in a traveling exhibit featuring so-called 'Fiji cannibals,' served up an alien 'other' for popular consumption, while Edgar Rice Burroughs in his Tarzan of the Apes series tapped into similar anxieties about the eruption of foreign elements into a homogeneous culture. Turning to the last decades of the twentieth century, Berglund considers how treatments of cannibalism variously perpetuated or subverted racist, sexist, and homophobic ideologies rooted in earlier times. Fannie Flagg's novel Fried Green Tomatoes invokes cannibalism to new effect, offering an explicit critique of racial, gender, and sexual politics (an element to a large extent suppressed in the movie adaptation). Recurring motifs in writing by contemporary American Indian authors Gerald Vizenor, Anna Lee Walters, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Sherman Alexie suggest how Western expansion has, cannibalistically, laid the seeds of its own destruction.

- Description
- Nya interprets the philosophy of Simone de Beauvoir through the perspective of French colonial history. She considers Beauvoir through this lens to critique her position as a colonizer woman or colon and as a means of situating her in one of France’s most fraught historical moments. She emphasizes the weight of French colonialism on Beauvoir’s identity as a white French woman, as well as the subjective and interpersonal dialectic of colonialism.The book presents a gendered and female perspective of French colonialism between 1946 and 1962, a time when French intellectuals such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Franz Fanon rallied against the political system, and which ultimately brought about an end to French colonialism. It adheres to a reading of Beauvoir as foremost an intellectual woman, one who reflected upon the legacy of French colonialism as an author and whose nation-bound status as a colonizer played a role in the alliance she created with Gisele Halimi and Djamila Boupacha.
