In On the Post-colony he profoundly renews our understanding of power and subjectivity in Africa. In a series of provocative essays, Mbembe contests diehard Africanist and nativist perspectives as well as some of the key assumptions of postcolonial theory. This thought-provoking and groundbreaking collection of essays-his first book to be published in English-develops and extends debates first ignited by his well-known 1992 article "Provisional Notes on the Post-colony," in which he developed his notion of the "banality of power" in contemporary Africa. Mbembe reinterprets the meanings of death, utopia, and the divine libido as part of the new theoretical perspectives he offers on the constitution of power. He works with the complex registers of bodily subjectivity - violence, wonder, and laughter - to profoundly contest categories of oppression and resistance, autonomy and subjection, and state and civil society that marked the social theory of the late twentieth century. This provocative book will surely attract attention with its signal contribution to the rich interdisciplinary arena of scholarship on colonial and postcolonial discourse, history, anthropology, philosophy, political science, psychoanalysis, and literary criticism.Studies on the history of society and culture ;41.Power (Social sciences)AfricaPostcolonialismAfricaSubjectivityElectronic books.Power (Social sciences)PostcolonialismSubjectivity.302.3/096Mbembé J.-A.1957-289893MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910449749203321On the postcolony17248UNINA02689oam 2200517 c 450 991043323410332120260302090207.097838309918853830991886978383094188038309418899783830991885(CKB)4100000011250241(Waxmann)9783830991885(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/41992(oapen)doab41992(EXLCZ)99410000001125024120260302d2021 uy 0engurc|#||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBetween PIAAC and the New Literacy Studies What adult education can learn from large-scale assessments without adopting the neo-liberal paradigm /Anke Grotlüschen, Lisanne Heilmann1st, New ed.MünsterWaxmann20211 online resource (265 pages) illustrations; digital file(s)Alphabetisierung und Grundbildung14Print version: 9783830941880 With this book we present a selection of articles that critically deal with (internationally comparative) large-scale assessments. We acknowledge that studies such as PIAAC are often designed, financed and implemented on the basis of neo-liberal worldviews. Nevertheless, we would like to use the articles that are presented here to show the various ways in which adult and continuing education can benefit and learn from the knowledge that they generate. In PIAAC, for example, there are huge differences between the surveyed variables and the theoretical frameworks on literacies and literacy practices that the New Literacy Studies (NLS) have brought out. This book features eleven articles, which – with the NLS’s theoretical considerations and points of criticism in mind – find new and alternative evaluations and interpretations of the data. Not only can they show effects of marginalization on a large scale, but the data can also provide information about mechanisms of power in relation to literacy and basic competencies.PIAACLarge-Scale AssessmentNew Literacy StudiesErwachsenenbildungPIAACLarge-Scale AssessmentNew Literacy StudiesErwachsenenbildung370Grotlüschen AnkeedtHeilmann LisanneedtUkMaJRUBOOK9910433234103321Between PIAAC and the New Literacy Studies4415294UNINA
