{"title":"The author, the text, and the (post)critic: notes on the encounter between postcritique and postcolonial criticism","authors":"A. Habed","doi":"10.1080/13688790.2021.1985248","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13688790.2021.1985248","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT The article confronts postcolonial criticism with postcritique, a proposal by Rita Felski for a hermeneutic strategy aiming to overcome the limits of critique. Because of its self-reflexivity, its liaison with poststructuralism, and the societal categories it mobilizes, postcritics often see postcolonial criticism as a quintessential example of critique. However, postcolonial authors share similar concerns as postcritics, particularly when warning against any hasty conflation between intellectual work and political commitment. This article argues that the postcritical understanding of critique eschews the connection between critique and the realm of culture, thereby running the risk of doing away with context altogether. In order to account for the frameworks or contexts in which cultural objects are produced, without falling into some of the pitfalls of critique that postcritique aims to counter, the article proposes to look at the figure of the author as a bridge between the individual and the collective, as Edward Said suggests. The article closes with an analysis of several (critical and postcritical) readings of J. M. Coetzee’s The Childhood of Jesus to provide an example of how authorship can enter the interpretive scene through the figure of ‘late style’.","PeriodicalId":46334,"journal":{"name":"Postcolonial Studies","volume":"59 1","pages":"498 - 513"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77374230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has kept most inhabitants of the world in lockdown for the past year, while this issue of Postcolonial Studies was drafted, has driven home some hard truths. These concern not only enduring patterns of social and economic inequalities and discrimination, as well as the uneven distribution of public health provisions, vaccines and biomedical services, but also intellectual matters. Isolated from the customary social contacts and information flow, many people rediscovered the power of knowledge and ideas as they attempted to grapple with their new virus-stricken global predicament. The primary role of the imagination was highlighted as reading books, playing music and the performing arts became means of daily survival and were taken up on an unprecedented scale. The range and impact of the cultural representations of the pandemic, its origins and effects. moved centre stage in the public debate, showing also their vulnerability to manipulation by panic-mongers and opportunistic politicians. Amateur social and cultural analysts sprouted like much rooms after the rain, spreading intellectual work across a multitude of different and often unexpected locations. Citizens science went global.","PeriodicalId":46334,"journal":{"name":"Postcolonial Studies","volume":"102 1","pages":"528 - 533"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88776602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intellectual has also been studied from different disciplinary perspectives: political science, referring to the role of publicness and democratic influence; philosophy, concerning the question of truth and rhetoric; gender studies, concerning the divide between public and private and the visibility of feminist interventions; celebrity studies, concerning the role of charisma and stardom; (digital) media communication, concerning the role of new social media platforms and the authenticity, trust and accountability of news online; and postcolonial studies, concerning the question of individuality and collectivity in representing and speaking up for minorities, subalterns and marginalized groups. However, in my view postcolonial intellectuals are not only ‘spokespersons’, to avoid Jameson’s definition of the postcolonial intellectual as an ‘allegory of the third world’. On the contrary, my take on the postcolonial intellectual is to revisit, deconstruct and rethink the category of the intellectual not as universal, individualistic and autonomous but as embedded in collective discursive practices and political engagements. This special issue draws from a two-day international conference that was held at Utrecht University on 5–6 February 2019. The conference, entitled ‘Postcolonial Intellectuals and their European Publics’, was organized to help launch a large new European research network called PIN (Postcolonial Intellectuals in Europe) for which I was the PI. The network is funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) in collaboration with several European partners, including prominent centres, institutes and departments in postcolonial studies (among others, the University of Leeds, University of Warwick and Newcastle University in the UK; Utrecht University in the Netherlands; the University of Lisbon in Portugal; Ca’ Foscari University of Venice in Italy; Aalborg University in Denmark and INALCO in France).","PeriodicalId":46334,"journal":{"name":"Postcolonial Studies","volume":"84 4 1","pages":"433 - 447"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89324010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Louvre going APESHIT: audiovisual re-curation and intellectual labour in The Carters’ Afrosurrealist music video","authors":"Ana Cristina Mendes, Julian Wacker","doi":"10.1080/13688790.2021.1985245","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13688790.2021.1985245","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT This article offers a reading of the APESHIT music video by the duo The Carters (Beyoncé and Jay-Z) as an Afrosurrealist intervention in the White space of the Louvre. Against the backdrop of calls for decolonizing archives and public institutions such as the university and the museum, and arguing for the political potential of APESHIT, this article makes a case for the music video as an act of resistance against the enduring ‘coloniality of power' in the European museum and elsewhere in the public sphere. We argue that The Carters embrace the role of the public intellectual-activist - assumed to be within the remit of the Western, White, liberal intellectual for centuries. Our argument is threefold: (1) the aesthetics of the APESHIT music video builds on and contributes to the Afrosurrealist artistic tradition, engaging with contemporary Blackness via the strange and absurd; (2) the music video itself creates performance art that intervenes in and extends beyond the Louvre and audiovisually re-curates its exhibitions; (3) The Carters can be seen as celebrity ‘critical organic catalysts’ whose Afrosurrealist intervention targeted at the colonial legacies of museums activates a critical relationship with these museal spaces traditionally constructed as White spaces.","PeriodicalId":46334,"journal":{"name":"Postcolonial Studies","volume":"8 Suppl A 1","pages":"484 - 497"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80138487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
