“…77 Spivak, for one, categorically states that she is 'committed to the notion that … nostalgia for lost origins can be detrimental to the exploration of social realities within the critique of imperialism.' 78 While I concur that such nostalgia is an 'untimely' preoccupation, I suggest that these rituals of female genital power, by contrast, consciously affirm the relevance of history, including mythic history, to real politics. They are acts of re-collection in both senses of the word -remembrance and gathering.…”

“…That kind of representation is, according to Spivak, merely 'elaborately staged'. 56 Rather, the demonstrations of female genital power insist on making room for the invisible, spiritual, and moral dimensions of life -the no-thing, the gap, the différance that women embody in respect of a logocentric representational regime.…”

Catachresis in Côte d’Ivoire: Female Genital Power in Religious Ritual and Political Resistance

Ivoirian women vehemently protest the violence and calamity of civil war by deploying an embodied rhetoric of ritual, appealing to the traditional religious concept of "Female Genital Power." I propose that their imagistic resistance to the postcolonial state represents a catachresis, with a few interesting twists. Most salient is that what women reinscribe onto the political scene is not as a feature of the imperial culture but the concept-metaphors of indigenous religion, and especially the image of Woman as the source of moral and spiritual power from which proceeds all political, religious, and juridical authority. Whereas the logocentrism of the academy, and postcolonial theory in particular, leads to aporia, ritual remands scholars into the situation of the actual world, where women are actively engaged in self-representation that both defies projected depictions of them and rejects their absence from state conceptions of power.

“…Putij is thus a 'good slave' in the sense that he has internalised and speaks in the voice of his owner. As such, he occupies the position of a subaltern game character who, in Spivak's (1988) sense, cannot speak.…”

“…It is concerned both with the past of colonial domination and violence; and the far-reaching consequences of systematic racial and ethnic oppression, which continue to this day. Among the seminal works in postcolonial studies are Edward Said's Orientalism (1978), which unpacks the dynamics of patronising portrayals of the "East" as a monolithic place worthy of Western domination, and Gayatri Spivak's (1988) investigation into the agency of colonised subaltern subjects. In recent years, such discourses have travelled to the field of video game studies, with scholars tackling questions such as imperialist ideology in game spaces (Breger, 2008); video game characters (Geyser & Tshalabala, 2011); and the relation between imperialist fantasies and the subaltern player (Mukherjee, 2016).…”

“…Por contexto me refiero tanto a cuestiones particulares relacionadas a la subjetividad de los participantes, como culturales y sociales (históricas) que inevitablemente están atravesadas por el poder, por la biopolítica (Foucault, 1987). Así, es imprescindible preguntarse con Spivak (1988) acerca de las posibilidades de hablar (y de escuchar, añadiría yo) de los subalternos (Del Olmo, 2003).…”

Entre el pasado, el presente, la memoria escolar y la historia oral: la pedagogía española en la educación normal en México a través del exilio Cadernos de História daEducação, v.15, n.3, p. 902-925, set.-dez. 2016 ResumoA história oral é uma metodologia útil na análise da cultura escolar e na construção da memória da escola. Neste texto, analiso como os envolvimentos presentes em entrevistas evocam o passado e negociam significados a partir de suas preocupações e circunstâncias particulares. Busco compreender como foram apropriadas ideias e modelos da pedagogia espanhola no princípio do século XX no interior de uma Escola Normal na cidade de Pachuca, no México, nos anos quarenta e cinquenta do século XX, através do trabalho de três professores exilados da ditadura de Francisco Franco. Para isso, realizaram-se entrevistas coletivas e individuais com ex-alunos desses professores e observações etnográficas que permitiram ir do passado ao presente e vice-versa. A História Oral permite captar de maneira especial componentes muito importantes de toda a relação pedagógica: ser em boa parte uma atividade de tipo oral e caracterizar-se por ser uma relação afetiva. Ambas as coisas podem ser captadas pela conversação, que mostra como as tradições pedagógicas são apropriadas sem que necessariamente haja uma explicitação racional a respeito, mas que se veem refletidas nas identidades e formas de atuar dos estudantes.
