Titre : Afropolitanism and the Novel : De-realizing Africa Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ashleigh Harris, Auteur Editeur : New York and London : Routledge Année de publication : 2020 Collection : Literary cultures of the global South Importance : 1 vol. (XI-198 p.) Présentation : ill. Format : 23 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-367-23551-2 Note générale : Bibliogr. p. 185-194 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:823 English fiction : novel Mots-clés : Roman africain Résumé : The place of the novel as a literary form in Africa is contested. Its colonial origins and its unaffordability for most Africans make it a bad fit for the continent, yet it was also central to the creation of most postcolonial African national literary canons. These bipolar traditions remain unresolved in recent debates about Afropolitanism and the novel in Africa today.
This book extends this debate, arguing that Africa's 'de-realization' in global representation and the global economy is reflected in the African novel becoming dominated by Afropolitan, rather than African, aesthetics, styles, and forms. Drawing on close readings of a variety of major African novels of the 2000s, the volume traces the tensions between the novel's complicity with and resistance to such de-realization. The book argues that current trends and experiments in African non-realist genres, such as science fiction, magical and animist realism, Afro-futurism, and speculative environmentalism, are the result of a preoccupation with such de-realization.
The volume is a significant exploration into literary form and its social, philosophical, political, and economic underpinnings. It will be a must-read for scholars, students, and researchers of African literature, politics, philosophy, and culture studies.Afropolitanism and the Novel : De-realizing Africa [texte imprimé] / Ashleigh Harris, Auteur . - New York and London : Routledge, 2020 . - 1 vol.

Titre : Air pollution and climate change : The basics Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John K. Pearson, Auteur ; Richard Derwent, Auteur Editeur : New York and London : Routledge Année de publication : 2022 Importance : 164 p. Format : 22 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-03-227518-5 Note générale : Notes bibliogr. et index Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Air pollutants Indoor air Urban air Regional air quality Climate change Résumé : This book identifies four key forms of air pollution: indoor, urban, regional and global. It discusses how these four types of pollution are manifest in today’s society and examines the scientific and policy challenges that stand in the way of progress.
Written in a style that balances scientific underpinnings with accessible language, Pearson and Derwent examine the sources and historical context of air pollutants, before dedicating a chapter to each of the key forms. Armed with these basics, they begin to address the challenges faced by improving indoor, urban and regional air quality, whilst reducing global warming in the years ahead. This leads to a greater understanding of the challenges of global climate change, with new proposals for reducing global warming. However, the authors conclude that it is only when we have a scenario of reforestation combined with reductions in emissions of all greenhouse gases that real progress will be made in the fight against climate change. Then, air pollution will also be consigned to history. With a foreword written by Professor James Lovelock, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change and environmental policy, as well as air quality professionals working in this important field.Air pollution and climate change : The basics [texte imprimé] / John K.
