In Gallimore’s first book, _L’oeuvre romanesque de Jean-Marie Adiaffi. Le mariage du mythe et de l’histoire: fondement d’un récit pluriel_ (1996), Gallimore examines author Jean-Marie Adiaffi, particularly the novel _La Carte d’Identité_ (1995). The main character in the book, who was a prince before colonization, loses his I.D. card. In the system imposed by the colonial French government, the loss of this I.D. card results in the loss of the man’s name and identity, so it becomes an allegory for the impact of colonization on the identity of the colonized. 3 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 16:52:52 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/syndicatemizzou/ipod/cooperative-50.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/syndicatemizzou/ipod/cooperative-50.m4v John Miles Foley explains how the two centers—the Center for the Studies in Oral Tradition (est. 1986) and the newer Center for eResearch—are cooperative ventures: “All of our activities at both centers have in common the philosophy of sharing intellectual content (knowledge, art, ideas) across barriers…to make it as easy as possible for everyone in the world to participate.” 3 Tue, 06 May 2008 15:44:27 GMT
