Specificatii
In Trading Places, Madeleine Dobie explores the place of the
colonial world in the culture of the French Enlightenment. She
shows that until a turning point in the late 1760s questions of
colonization and slavery occupied a very marginal position in
literature, philosophy, and material and visual culture. In an
exploration of the causes and modalities of this silence, Dobie
traces the displacement of colonial questions onto two more
familiar--and less ethically challenging--aspects of Enlightenment
thought: exoticization of the Orient and fascination with
indigenous Amerindian cultures. Expanding the critical analysis of
the cultural imprint of colonization to encompass commodities as
well as texts, Dobie considers how tropical raw materials were
integrated into French material culture. In an original exploration
of the textile and furniture industries Dobie considers consumer
goods both as sites of representation and as vestiges of the labor
of the enslaved. Turning to the closing decades of the eighteenth
century, Dobie considers how silence evolved into discourse. She
argues that sustained examination of the colonial order was made
possible by the rise of economic liberalism, which attacked the
prevailing mercantilist doctrine and formulated new perspectives on
agriculture, labor (including slavery), commerce, and global
markets. Questioning recent accounts of late Enlightenment
anticolonialism, she shows that late eighteenth-century French
philosophers opposed slavery while advocating the expansion of a
liberalized colonial order. Innovative and interdisciplinary,
Trading Places combines literary and historical analysis with new
research into political economy and material culture.
