Affective communities : anticolonial thought, Fin-De-Siècle radicalism, and the politics of friendship
\"If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.\" So E. M. Forster famously observed in his Two Cheers for Democracy. Forster's epigrammatic manifesto, where the idea of the \"friend\" stands as a metaphor for dissident cross-cultural collaboration, holds the key, Leela Gandhi argues in Affective Communities, to the hitherto neglected history of western anti-imperialism. Focusing on individuals and groups who renounced the privileges of imperialism to elect affinity with victims of their own expansionist cultures, she uncovers the utopian-socialist critiques of empire that emerged in Europe, specifically in Britain, at the end of the nineteenth century. Gandhi reveals for the first time how those associated with marginalized lifestyles, subcultures, and traditions—including homosexuality, vegetarianism, animal rights, spiritualism, and aestheticism—united against imperialism and forged strong bonds with colonized subjects and cultures. Gandhi weaves together the stories of a number of South Asian and European friendships that flourished between 1878 and 1914, tracing the complex historical networks connecting figures like the English socialist and homosexual reformer Edward Carpenter and the young Indian barrister M. K. Gandhi, or the Jewish French mystic Mirra Alfassa and the Cambridge-educated Indian yogi and extremist Sri Aurobindo. In a global milieu where the battle lines of empire are reemerging in newer and more pernicious configurations, Affective Communities challenges homogeneous portrayals of \"the West\" and its role in relation to anticolonial struggles. Drawing on Derrida's theory of friendship, Gandhi puts forth a powerful new model of the political: one that finds in friendship a crucial resource for anti-imperialism and transnational collaboration.
نظرية ما بعد الكولونيالية
تأتي ما بعد الكولونيالية، بوصفها نزعة ما بعد حداثية، ودراسة أكاديمية للإرث الثقافي الكولونيالي والإمبريالي، لتركز على النتائج البشرية المترتبة عن حكم واستغلال المجتمعات المستعمرة وأراضيها. إنها تحليل نظري نقدي لتاريخ السلطة الإمبريالية الأوروبية، ولثقافتها وأدبها. وعلى الرغم من أن مصطلح ما بعد الكولونيالية مصطلح إشكالي، فإنه يتخذ عموما ليحيل على الأزمات السوسيو اقتصادية والثقافية التي تسببت فيها النزعة الكولونيالية. في هذا السياق، يعتبر كتاب نظرية ما بعد الكولونيالية مدخلا نموذجيا ومستفزا في حقل الدراسات ما بعد الكولونيالية ؛ إذ تقوم ليلا غاني ها هنا بمسح شامل للدراسات ما بعد الكولونيالية، راسمة بذلك مخططا للترابطات بين النظرية ما بعد الكولونيالية من جهة أخرى. كما تقوم بتقييم مساهمة كبار المنظرين الرئيسيين مثل إدوارد سعيد، وغيتاري سبيفاك، وهو مي بابا، مسلطة الضوء على علاقة ما بعد الكولونيالية بالمفكرين الأوائل مثل فرانز فانونن جهة، وما بعد البنيوية وما بعد الحداثة، والماركسية والنسوية ولمهاتما غاندي.
