Des divergences aux dialogues entre Aleida Assmann, Homi K. Bhabha et Judith Butler : vers un engagement en partage ?

Auteur : Chloé Chaudet

Journal : Mémoires en jeu

Commitment oscillates between denunciation and proposal. The article examines the main features of this dynamic in the work of three major thinkers in memory, postcolonial and gender studies : Aleida Assmann, Homi K. Bhabha, Judith Butler. It questions the subversive vocation of postcolonial and gender studies and relates it to a more « institutionalized » memory field, before investigating the constructive criticism that connects the three authors, beyond their differences.

Thematic axes : Transculturalities
