Hoodwinking the République: Lupin and the Illusion of French Universalism
A close examination of the new Netflix series LUPIN reveals that, behind this fast moving, action packed, and entertaining mystery is a larger sociocultural commentary on the current state of race relations in France, and on how the state’s colorblindness and social cohesion are but an illusion. Through a series of encounters with systemic racism, the protagonist demonstrates his ability to navigate within the limits of an inescapable universalis…
Ruins, rhizomes, palimpsests, and traces-mémoires: Guadeloupe’s Mémorial ACTe and the art(s) of representation
This study examines the degree to which the world’s largest slavery memorial and arts center enacts emerging theorizations of postcolonial memory to connect the Caribbean’s colonial history to legacies of human exploitation both transnationally and transtemporally. Situated literally on top of the former Darboussier sugar factory site, the Mémorial ACTe is a lieu de mémoire that invites a palimpsestic approach to its symbolic location, architectu…
Breaking Museal Tradition: Guadeloupe’s “Mémorial ACTe” and the Scenography of Slavery

By blurring the lines between history and fiction, connecting past and present, and juxtaposin…

Tous ceux sans qui la France ne serait pas la France’: The case for a French national museum of colonial histories
Although France is known as the country of museums, it has yet to inaugurate a museum of French history. At a time of mounting tensions between an increasingly multiracial and multicultural French population, on the one hand, and an inherently problematic model of French Republican integration on the other, one wonders whose history would be represented. In the wake of one of France’s worst cases of social unrest – the 2005 riots – Paris opened t…
