Nationalism, Colonialism, and Literature

TL;DR: The social revolution cannot draw its poetry from the past, but only from the future as discussed by the authors, and it cannot begin with itself before it has stripped itself of all its superstitions concerning the past.

TL;DR: The Postcolonial Unconscious as mentioned in this paper is a major attempt to reconstruct the whole field of postcolonial studies from a post-colonial perspective, focusing on the key critical concepts that form the very foundation of the field.

TL;DR: The task for contemporary literature is to deal with the legacy of modernism as mentioned in this paper, which is the task of contemporary literature, not only for contemporary art, but also for literature itself.

TL;DR: The authors examines the ways in which architectural space enables structures of both subjection and subversion in post-colonisation cities, and traces significant elements of the British design programme in the city from the seventeenth century onwards and connects these elements to the segregated, sectarianized geography of the contemporary (post-conflict) city.
