Passes et impasses dans le comparatisme postcolonial caribéen

The comparative study, Sages Sorcieres?, brings together Afro-Caribbean and Afro-American female writing. Gyssels approaches francophone literature and anglophone literature as two separate entities, rather than simply grouping them together as postcolonial literature. By doing so, she opens new dimensions in (traditional) comparative literature studies: until now, geographical and linguistic barriers have torn apart female writing of the Black Diaspora.

Sages sorcières?

De l’Univers de concentration à l’Univers de Plantation, l'oeuvre d'André et de Simone Schwarz-Bart dépiste les mêmes mécanismes de déshumanisation et la même nécessité à faire un double devoir de mémoire.

Marrane et marronne

Isabel Hoving

Maggie Ann Bowers

This bi-lingual volume of twelve English and eight French papers proposes to breach linguistic critical frontiers by placing analysis of texts from different language traditions in a multi-lingual and multi-cultural dialogue. The focus of analysis rests on the multiple and complex global convergences and interferences of cultural influences.

Convergences and Interferences

Bénédicte Ledent

This bi-lingual collection illustrates the concept of ¿Warrior of the Imaginary,¿ as defined by Patrick Chamoiseau, in a multi-faceted corpus of texts by and on Caribbean writers. For obvious reasons, many of the contributions in French engage critically with this notion and how it surfaces in the Martinican writer's fiction.
