01 02 Postcolonial Spaces is the first collection of interdisciplinary essays to focus on the crucial role of space in the study of the politics of contemporary postcolonial experience. It brings together influential scholars from the fields of media, film, literature, and geography, embodying the centrality of interdisciplinary thinking to recent postcolonial scholarship. The book includes essays from a wide range of geographies, encompassing Europe, South America, South Asian, Australasia, and the Caribbean. As well as a comprehensive introduction, essays engage with a broad spectrum of postcolonial spatialities, including: Caryl Phillips's Northern landscapes; the role of clothing in Islam and the fiction of Monica Ali; the domestic spaces of South Asian women writers; Peter Carey's representation of territory; South Asian children's literature; map-making in Equador, Michel Foucault's territorial thinking; Jamaica Kincaid's use of the garden-space; migrant spaces in Stephen Frears's Dirty Pretty Things; Bombay in contemporary Indian film; and the spatial politics of theory in the western academy.  Featuring a Foreword from Edward Soja, the volume offers a wealth of material for postcolonial students and scholars 04 02 Table of Figures and Illustrations Acknowledgements Notes on Contributors Foreword; E.Soja Introduction; A.Teverson  & S.Upstone English Somewheres: Caryl Phillips and the English North; J.McLeod   A Few Words About the Role of the Cartographers: Mapping and Postcolonial Resistance in Peter Carey's 'Do You Love Me?'; N.Dunlop   'How does your garden grow?' or Jamaica Kincaid's Spatial Praxis in My Garden (book): and Among Flowers: A Walk in the Himalaya; W.Knepper   Gender and Space in Postcolonial Fiction: South Asian Novelists Re-imagining Women's Spatial Boundaries; E.Jackson   From Hijab to Sweatshops: Segregated Bodies and Contested Space in Monica Ali's Brick Lane; M.Germanà   Overlapping Space and the Negotiation of Cultural Identity: Children's Literature from the South Asian Diaspora; S.Emmambokus  Owning the City: Screening Postcolonial Bombay in Milan Luthria's Taxi 9 2 11 : Nau Do Gyarah; C.Herbert   Postcolonial Purgatory: The Space of Migrancy in Dirty Pretty Things; J.Graham Third Space, Abstract Space and Coloniality: National and Subaltern Cartography in Ecuador; S.A.Radcliffe Security, Territory, and Colonial Populations: Town and Empire in Foucault's 1978 Lecture Course; S.Legg   The Geography of Theory: Knowledge, Politics and the Postcolonial Present; T.Jazeel Notes Bibliography Index 08 02 'This is an important and timely publication which makes a persuasive case for a more sustained engagement with the politics of space in postcolonial studies.

01 02 Disability and Modern Fiction explores shifting definitions and representations of physical and mental impairment in 20th and 21st century culture through a focus on the work of William Faulkner, Toni Morrison and JM Coetzee. Taking as its starting point Virginia Woolf's essay 'On Being Ill' (1930), the book argues that focusing on literary representations of disability opens up new critical categories for the analysis of fiction. Through consideration of their work as critics and Nobel Prize-winning public intellectuals, as well as authors, the book proposes new ways of reading Faulkner, Morrison and Coetzee in relation to one another, and in doing so highlights the ethical, aesthetic and imaginative challenges they pose to readers. 08 02 'This book is one of the best literary critical accounts I have read in a long time. Hall writes with great clarity and addresses the complexity of 'disability' in a highly intelligent and nuanced manner. Her insights into the representation of disability in the fiction of Faulkner, Morrison and Coetzee are first rate.' - Professor of Health Humanities,University of Nottingham, UK 31 02 Disability and Modern Fiction explores representations of disability in the works of William Faulkner, Toni Morrison and J.M.Coetzee in their roles as authors, critics and Nobel Laureates 19 02 Timely - taps into gap on disability studies and literature, as well as wider theme of the body in general Provides a fresh perspective on three well-studied writers (Toni Morrison, William Faulkner, J. M. Coetzee) Challenges the boundaries of 'disability studies', showing the diversity and ambiguity of the term 'disability' Medical/health humanities is a fast-growing area of study/research Adds to a call for disability perspectives to be incorporated into the wider university curriculum alongside feminist, post-colonial, queer and race studies 04 02 List of Illustrations Acknowledgements Disability and Modern Fiction: Charting New Territory Tales Told by an Idiot: Disability and Sensory Perception in William Faulkner's Fiction and Criticism Foreign Bodies: Disability and Beauty in the Work of Toni Morrison Dialectics of Dependency: Aging and Disability in J.M.Coetzee's Later Writing Disability as Metaphor: The Nobel Prize Lectures of Faulkner, Morrison and Coetzee Conclusion: 'You Can't Just Fly on off and Leave a Body' Notes Bibliography Index 02 02 Focusing on Faulkner, Morrison and Coetzee as authors, critics and Nobel Prize-winning intellectuals, this book explores shifting representations of disability in 20th and 21st century literature and proposes new ways of reading their works in relation to one another, whilst highlighting the ethical, aesthetic and imaginative challenges they pose. 13 02 ALICE HALL has recently completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Centre for Advanced Studies, University of Nottingham, UK.

01 02 A timely appraisal of two major schools of contemporary criticism, postcolonialism and Deleuzian philosophy, Postcolonial Literatures and Deleuze establishes a new critical discourse for postcolonial literature and theory. It brings together prominent scholars from the field of Deleuze studies such as Réda BensmaIa, Bruce Janz and Gregg Lambert, some of whom explore the possibilities of Deleuze for postcolonial literatures for the first time in this collection, and established postcolonial critics including David Huddart and Nick Nesbitt, who examine the relationship between different postcolonial literary writers and the Deleuzian concepts of becoming, minor literature, singularity and the virtual. Responding to one of the most trenchant critiques of postcolonialism and Deleuze in recent years, Peter Hallward's Absolutely Postcolonial, the essays showcased in this collection demonstrate that despite the criticisms that have followed the poststructuralist-inspired postcolonialism of the mid-1980s to mid-1990s, it is through the philosophy of Deleuze that the revisionary force of postcolonial literature for society and the imagination, politics and aesthetics may be reconceived anew. Where postcolonial studies to date has been primarily concerned with the politics and analysis of representation, Deleuze's work focuses on difference, immanence, expression, and becoming, all of which problematise representation as a logic closely bound to 'identity'. Yet, beyond these apparent incompatibilities, this collection argues that at a fundamental level Deleuze's commitment to a philosophy of difference without binary divisions and 'othering', his imagining of a new understanding of the relationship between past, present and future, as well as the value of his notions of becoming and the virtual, offer a set of critical concepts that, when applied to postcolonial theory and literatures, inspire a rethinking of the key issues that have come to dominate the field. Employing Deleuze in the study of postcolonial literatures, this collection, on the one hand, reinvigorates a mode of analysis at a time at which it is increasingly subject to criticism and re-evaluation, and, on the other, to make more visible questions and issues that have been little explored by Deleuze scholars. 08 02 'This volume offers an impressive line-up of scholars, who tackle the complex intersection between Deleuze's philosophy and postcolonial literature head on and with a laudable thoroughness. The strength of these essays lies in the quality of the scholarship behind them; the authors all engage fully with the difficult philosophical concepts that both Deleuze and postcolonial theory presents. At the same time the pieces are logical, well written and clearly argued.' - Eva Aldea, Visiting Tutor, Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK 19 02 Taps into current debates on Deleuze and postcolonial literature/ theory Features prominent scholars of both Deleuze and postcolonial studies Discusses well-studied postcolonial writers (such as Morrison and Coetzee) alongside lesser-known writers Features cutting-edge commentary on contemporary issues in postcolonial studies and Deleuzian theory 04 02 Introduction: Navigating Differential Futures; (Un)making Colonial Pasts; L.Burns & B.M.Kaiser PART I: DETERITORIALIZING DELEUZE, RETHINKING POSTCOLONIALISM Forget Deleuze; B.B.Janz The Bachelor-Machine and The Postcolonial Writer; G.Lambert The World With(out) Others, or How to Unlearn the Desire for the Other; K.Thiele Edward Said Between Singular and Specific; D.Huddart Deleuze, Hallward, and the Transcendental Analytic of Relation; N.Nesbitt PART II: THE SINGULARITY OF POSTCOLONIAL LITERATURES The Singularities of Postcolonial Literature: Preindividual (hi)stories in Mohammed Dib's 'Northern Trilogy'; B.M.Kaiser Postcolonialism Beyond the Colonized and the Colonizer: Caribbean Writing as Postcolonial 'Health'; L.Burns Becoming-animal, Becoming-political in Rachid Boudjedra's L'Escargot Entêté; R.Bensmaia , translated by P.Krus Revolutionizing Pleasure in Writing: Subversive Desire and Micropolitical Affects in Nalo Hopkinson's The Salt Roads; M.Marinkova Undercurrents and the Desert(ed): Negarestani, Tournier and Deleuze Map the Polytics of a 'New Earth'; R.Dolphijn Afterword Postcolonial Deleuze; R.Braidotti Index 02 02 Bringing together high profile scholars in the fields of Deleuze and postcolonial studies, this book highlights the overlooked connections between two major schools of contemporary criticism and establishes a new critical discourse for postcolonial literature and theory. 13 02 LORNA BURNS Lecturer in English at the University of Lincoln, UK.
