Résumé
Commitment oscillates between denunciation and proposal. The article examines the main features of this dynamic in the work of three major thinkers in memory, postcolonial and gender studies : Aleida Assmann, Homi K. Bhabha, Judith Butler. It questions the subversive vocation of postcolonial and gender studies and relates it to a more « institutionalized » memory field, before investigating the constructive criticism that connects the three authors, beyond their differences.
