The Word Pen, and the Pistol

Literature and Power in Tahiti

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the interplay of history, power, and knowledge, this book delves into the impact of literature in colonial and postcolonial settings, particularly in French Polynesia. Drawing on theories from Michel Foucault and Edward Said, it uncovers how imperialism intertwines with colonial narratives, examining the portrayal of Tahiti as an idyllic paradise and the associated disciplinary mechanisms. The text critiques the concept of the "Noble Savage" while exploring the cultural and political implications of these colonial discourses.
