From xenophobic appropriations of Joan of Arc to Afro-futurism and
cyberpunk, the "national" characters of the colonial era often seem
to be dissolving into postnational and virtual subjects. In
"Continental Drift, " Emily Apter deftly analyzes the French
colonial and postcolonial experience as a case study in the erosion
of belief in national destiny and the emergence of technologically
mediated citizenship.
Among the many topics Apter explores are the fate of national
literatures in an increasingly transnational literary climate; the
volatile stakes of Albert Camus's life and reputation against the
backdrop of Algerian civil strife; the use of literary and
theatrical productions to "script" national character for the
colonies; belly-dancing and aesthetic theory; and the impact of new
media on colonial and postcolonial representation, from tourist
photography to the videos of Digital Diaspora.
"Continental Drift" advances debates not just in postcolonial
studies, but also in gender, identity, and cultural studies;
ethnography; psychoanalysis; and performance studies.
