Out of Africa
At the heart of this book is the argument that the fact that so many post-structuralist French intellectuals have a strong ‘colonial’ connection, usually with Algeria, cannot be a coincidence. The ‘biographical’ fact that so many French intellectuals were born in or otherwise connected with French Algeria has often been noted, but it has never been theorised. Ahluwalia makes a convincing case that post-structuralism in fact has colonial and postcolonial roots. This is an important argument, and one that ‘connects’ two theoretical currents that continue to be of great interest, post-structuralism and postcolonialism.
The re-reading of what is now familiar material against the background of de-colonial struggles demonstrates the extent to which it is this new condition that prompted theory to question long-held assumptions inscribed in the European colonial enterprise. The wide-ranging discussion, ranging across authors as different as Foucault, Derrida, Fanon, Althusser, Cixous, Bourdieu and Lyotard, enables the reader to make connections that have remained unnoticed or been neglected. It also brings back into view a history of struggles, both political and theoretical, that has shaped the landscape of critique in the social sciences and humanities.
This clear and lucid discussion of important and often difficult thinkers will be widely read and widely debated by students and academics alike.
Pal Ahluwalia is Pro Vice-Chancellor of the University of South Australia. He was previously Professor of the Politics Department, University of Adelaide, Australia, then Professor with the University of California, San Diego USA and Professor at Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK. He is editor of the Routledge journals African Identities, Social Identities and Sikh Formations.

Why there is no poststructuralism in France : the making of an intellectual generation
French thinkers such as Lacan and Derrida are often labelled as representatives of 'poststructuralism' in the Anglophone world. However in France, where their work originated, they use no such category; this group of theorists - 'the poststructuralists' - were never perceived as a coherent intellectual group or movement. Outlining the institutional contexts, affinities, and rivalries of, among others, Althusser, Barthes, Foucault, Irigaray, and Kristeva, Angermuller - drawing from Bourdieu's concepts of cultural capital and the academic field - insightfully explores post-structuralism as a phenomenon. By tracing the evolution of the French intellectual field after the war,Why There is No Poststructuralism in Franceplaces French Theory both in the specific material conditions of its production and the social and historical contexts of its reception, accounting for a particularly creative moment in French intellectual life which continues to inform the theoretical imaginary of our time.

Existe un consenso generalizado acerca de que de la crisis acaecida entre 2001 y 2002 marcó un cambio en el régimen de acumulación de la economía argentina, hecho que dio lugar a un nuevo modo de desarrollo. El objetivo central del presente artículo radica en abordar las controversias alrededor del mismo con el propósito de perfeccionar la caracterización general del régimen emergente y actualizar su periodización. Al combinar el enfoque institucionalista de la teoría de la regulación con la visión estructuralista latinoamericana de la restricción externa, el modo de regulación de la posconvertibilidad puede dividirse en tres etapas constitutivas de un mismo modo de desarrollo: transición neomercantilista (2002-2004), regulacionismo á la Diamand (2004-2009) y keynesianismo social con restricción externa (2009-2015).
