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.0Through 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.Spatial Boundaries, Abounding SpacesMotion picturesfast(OCoLC)fst01027285French literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00934688Colonies in motion picturesfast(OCoLC)fst01902849Colonies in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00868477Boundaries in motion picturesfast(OCoLC)fst01902606Boundaries in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00837088Boundaries in motion picturesBoundaries in literatureColonies in motion picturesColonies in literatureMotion picturesFranceHistory and criticismFrench literatureHistory and criticismFrancefastCriticism, interpretation, etc.Motion pictures.French literature.Colonies in motion pictures.Colonies in literature.Boundaries in motion pictures.Boundaries in literature.Boundaries in motion pictures.Boundaries in literature.Colonies in motion pictures.Colonies in literature.Motion picturesHistory and criticism.French literatureHistory and criticism.840.93581Chandna Mohit1976-1067353MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910488731603321Spatial Boundaries, Abounding Spaces2551087UNINA
