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. 517 $aSpatial Boundaries, Abounding Spaces 606 $aMotion pictures$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01027285 606 $aFrench literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00934688 606 $aColonies in motion pictures$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01902849 606 $aColonies in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00868477 606 $aBoundaries in motion pictures$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01902606 606 $aBoundaries in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00837088 606 $aBoundaries in motion pictures 606 $aBoundaries in literature 606 $aColonies in motion pictures 606 $aColonies in literature 606 $aMotion pictures$zFrance$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism 607 $aFrance$2fast 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aFrench literature. 615 0$aColonies in motion pictures. 615 0$aColonies in literature. 615 0$aBoundaries in motion pictures. 615 0$aBoundaries in literature. 615 0$aBoundaries in motion pictures. 615 0$aBoundaries in literature. 615 0$aColonies in motion pictures. 615 0$aColonies in literature. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a840.93581 700 $aChandna$b Mohit$f1976-$01067353 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910488731603321 996 $aSpatial Boundaries, Abounding Spaces$92551087 997 $aUNINA
