| Open Lecture & Student Presentation: Léopold Lambert, The Colonial Continuum in Kanaky-New Caledonia, France and Algiers As France recently crystallized the main features of the state of emergency into common law, we ought to examine the history of this exceptional legislation. Drafted in 1955 to crush the Algerian Revolution, it was used three times during this eight-year-long decolonial struggle. Its three later occurrences (in Kanaky-New Caledonia in 1985; in thirty-eight French cities’ banlieues in 2005; and, more recently, in the totality of France and its so-called ‘overseas territories’ between 2015 and 2017) reveal the continuation of French coloniality nowadays in the violence it deploys on the same bodies. From French military “regrouping camps” in Algeria to the banlieues police stations on the one hand, and from Algiers’ Casbah to the Indigenous Kanak barricades on the other, this research focuses on the spaces and architectures that materialize or challenge the French colonial continuum.
