La généalogie du déracinement : enquête sur l'habitation postcoloniale
How do we inhabit, in the American-North ? What is our collective way of being on this earth and how do we get our subsistance from it ? This work documents a geo-philosophical quest on postcolonial habitation, which gives way to the contemporary spatial lifestyle as a general movement of un-rooting. This movement matches the process of colonization an to that of the industrial revolution, which takes the residue as its habitat. The author highlights the forces, values and forms of this removal, at the same time as she examins those of resistance to this tendancy, thus revealing the tensions around the use of territory. The preferred transdisciplinary approach for this work gathers speech analysis, self-ethnography, photographic documentation, the history of ideas, literary critique and phenomenologic analysis : an unprecedented and fruitful approach, which opens onto a spatial poetics.
