« Histoires perturbées, passés retrouvés », une introduction by Sian Sullivan, Michèle Baussant, Lindsey Dodd, Olivette Otele, Irène Dos Santos

“…Our project proposes a cross-disciplinary analysis and cross-case synthesis of experience and memory in post-conflict and postcolonial contexts. In the post- conflict and colonial contexts of our cases, we see “disruption” as present in three senses: as the productive ways in which multiple experiences retrieved through oral histories may refract and revise historical analysis; as the happening histories of objectively disruptive events break the flow of individual and collective experience; and as a strategy for cross-disciplinary research to disrupt and democratise conventional understanding by drawing attention to occluded experiences. …”

Queers non blanc·hes en France by Najwa Ouguerram-Magot

“…Even though claiming to be queer can function as an act of resistance to the homonormativity of LGBT groups, liberal requirements persist within queer movements and feed neoliberal assimilationism, like the injunction to subscribe to a “queer way of being” through hypervisibility without questioning its underlying white standards. In postcolonial France, a country unwilling to deal with the contemporary consequences of its history, when two identities are set back-to-back, respondents openly choose to protect their racial community against homonationalist and homonormative discourses.…”

“…This article attempts to shed light on the development of a financial/security assemblages in Tunisia, from an international political sociology perspective that looks at the development of practices of security and policing from a transnational and postcolonial vantage point. Financial policing in the Global South nowadays takes largely shape through the combination of anti-money laundering (AML) and counter financing of terrorism (CFT) agendas, which are systematically and racially coupled to target Asian or African contexts and, as such, largely exclude money and profits benefitting high capital concentration contexts and actors that is usually laundered for tax evasion. …”
