Michel Leiris: Race, Poetry, Politics: Rereading the Mission Lucas
In 1945 Michel Leiris made a three-month trip to Africa as part of a delegation of specialists under the direction of A.-J. Lucas, the French "inspecteur des colonies." This, Leiris's second official trip to Sub-Saharan Africa, was very different from the previous, and best-known of Leiris's African voyages, the expansive "Mission Dakar-Djibouti" of 1931-33. The earlier voyage was a scientific expedition that sought information on African religio…
Revisiting A New History of French Literature
R.J. Golsan: A New History of French Literature was published in 1989, when the effects of the de Man and Heidegger affairs were challenging not only the prevailing critical formalism, but were paving the way for a more ideological or "engaged" criticism in the 1990s (postcolonialism, gender studies, etc). If you were to undertake or even reconceive your New History, what impact, if any, would these developments have

Ethnography, Thievery, and Cultural Identity: A Rereading of Michel Leiris's L'Afrique fantôme
During 1931–33 Michel Leiris took part in an ethnographic expedition across Africa, the highly publicized Dakar-Djibouti mission. This essay examines three documents related to the mission. The first, remarks that Leiris wrote before the trip, reveals his understanding, either conscious or unconscious, that theft would be an essential part of the mission's ethnographic strategy. In the second, a journal kept during the expedition, Leiris recorded…
