Book Synopsis Frankétienne and Rewriting by : Rachel Douglas
Download or read book Frankétienne and Rewriting written by Rachel Douglas and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2009-06-16 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Rewriting' in the context of critical work on Caribbean literature has tended to be used to discuss revisionism from a variety of postcolonial perspectives, such as 'rewriting history' or 'rewriting canonical texts.' By shifting the focus to how Caribbean writers return to their own works in order to rework them, this book offers theoretical considerations to postcolonial studies on 'literariness' in relation to the near-obsessive degree of rewriting to which Caribbean writers have subjected their own literary texts. Focusing specifically on FrankZtienne, this book offers an overview of how the defining aesthetic and thematic components of FrankZtienne's major works have emerged over the course of his forty-year writing career. It reveals the marked development of key notions guiding his literary creation since the 1960s, and demonstrates that rewriting illustrates the central aesthetic of the Spiral which has always shaped his Iuvre. It is, the book argues, the constantly moving form of the Spiral which FrankZtienne explores through his constant reworking of his previously written texts. FrankZtienne and Rewriting negotiates between the literary and material ends of the burgeoning field of postcolonial studies, arguing that literary characteristics in FrankZtienne connect with changing political, social, economic, and cultural circumstances in the Haiti he rewrites.
Download or read book Haiti Unbound written by Kaiama L. Glover and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haiti has long been relegated to the margins of the so-called New World. Marked by exceptionalism, the voices of some of its most important writers have consequently been muted by the geopolitical realities of the nation's fraught history. In Haiti Unbound, Kaiama L. Glover offers a close look at the works of three such writers: the Haitian Spiralists Frankétienne, Jean-Claude Fignolé, and René Philoctète. While Spiralism has been acknowledged as a crucial contribution to the French-speaking Caribbean literary tradition, it has not been given the sustained attention of a full-length study. Glover's book represents the first effort to consider the works of the three Spiralist authors both individually and collectively, filling an important gap in postcolonial Francophone and Caribbean studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. Historically and contemporarily, politically and literarily, Haiti has long been relegated to the margins of the so-called 'New World.' Marked by exceptionalism, the voices of some of its most important writers have consequently been muted by the geopolitical realities of the nation's fraught history. In Haiti Unbound, Kaiama L. Glover offers a close look at the works of three such writers: the Haitian Spiralists Frankétienne, Jean-Claude Fignolé, and René Philoctète. While Spiralism has been acknowledged by scholars and regional writer-intellectuals alike as a crucial contribution to the French-speaking Caribbean literary tradition, the Spiralist ethic-aesthetic not yet been given the sustained attention of a full-length study. Glover's book represents the first effort in any language to consider the works of the three Spiralist authors both individually and collectively, and so fills an astonishingly empty place in the assessment of postcolonial Caribbean aesthetics. Touching on the role and destiny of Haiti in the Americas, Haiti Unbound engages with long-standing issues of imperialism and resistance culture in the transatlantic world. Glover's timely project emphatically articulates Haiti's regional and global centrality, combining vital 'big picture' reflections on the field of postcolonial studies with elegant close-reading-based analyses of the philosophical perspective and creative practice of a distinctively Haitian literary phenomenon. Most importantly perhaps, the book advocates for the inclusion of three largely unrecognized voices in the disturbingly fixed roster of writer-intellectuals that have thus far interested theorists of postcolonial (Francophone) literature. Providing insightful and sophisticated blueprints for the reading and teaching of the Spiralists' prose fiction, Haiti Unbound will serve as a point of reference for the works of these authors and for the singular socio-political space out of and within which they write.
Book Synopsis Antillanité, créolité, littérature-monde by : Isabelle Constant
Download or read book Antillanité, créolité, littérature-monde written by Isabelle Constant and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays explores concepts present in literatures in French that, since the 2007 manifesto, more and more critics, suspicious of the term Francophonie, now prefer to designate as littérature-monde (world literature). The book shows how the three movements of antillanité, créolité and littérature-monde each in their own way break with the past and distance themselves from the hexagonal centre. The critics in this collection show how writers seek to represent an authentic view of their history, culture, identities, reality and diversities. According to many of the contributors, creolization and littérature-monde offer new perspectives and possibly a new genre of literature. Ces essais explorent les concepts présents dans la littérature en français, que depuis le manifeste de 2007, de plus en plus de critiques, suspicieux du terme francophonie préfèrent désigner sous le terme de littérature-monde. Ce livre montre comment les trois mouvements antillanité, créolité et littérature-monde, bien qu’ils cherchent chacun à présenter une rupture, offrent aussi un but similaire de distanciation avec le centre hexagonal. Les critiques de ce recueil démontrent comment les écrivains cherchent à représenter une vision authentique de leur histoire, leur culture, leurs identités, leur réalité et leur diversité. Selon de nombreux contributeurs à ce recueil, la créolisation ou la littérature-monde offrent de nouvelles perspectives et la possibilité d’un nouveau genre de littérature.

Book Synopsis Echoes of the Haitian Revolution, 1804-2004 by : Martin Munro
Download or read book Echoes of the Haitian Revolution, 1804-2004 written by Martin Munro and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bicentenary of Haitian independence in 2004 triggered a renewed interest in Haitian history and culture. In many ways, however, much work is still required in this fertile field. Reinterpreting the Haitian Revolution and Its Cultural Aftershocks, the first collection of essays edited by Martin Munro and Elizabeth Walcott-Hackshaw, addressed the repercussions of the Haitian Revolution in Haiti, the Caribbean, North America and Europe. This present volume develops and complements the previous collection to meet the growing demand for original scholarly work on Haiti. Widening the cultural lens to include diasporic studies, art, and questions of race and gender, Echoes of the Haitian Revolution exposes how the history of Haiti has shaped our ideas of race, nation and civilization in ways that we are often unaware of. Haiti's lessons continue to engage us in a dynamic dialog that compels us to question and revisit received arguments. The essays collected here provoke and stimulate these necessary conversations by approaching the legacies and repercussions of the revolution from a cultural perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En disant ces derniers mots, mon père m’a giflé. Je suis tombé à la renverse sur le plancher de ciment. Ma tête s’est fracassée. Mon sang s’est répandu sur le sol. Je hurlais de douleur et d’épouvante. J’ai cru que j’allais mourir. À la vue de mon sang, mon père n’a paru avoir aucune pitié de moi. Il s’est emparé d’un pan de bois avec lequel il s’est mis à me frapper. Je me débattais comme un diablotin dans l’eau bénite. Je cherchais à m’arracher du sol où il me retenait en pressant la paume de sa grosse main sur mon front. Des éclairs de furie traversaient son regard. Il était essoufflé, car il me frappait sans arrêt. Mon sang n’arrêtait pas de couler. Mon univers d’enfant s’était fracassé avec ma tête ouverte en deux, étalée là, sous le regard de mon père qui s’acharnait sur moi tel un vautour sur sa proie. Je ne comprenais rien à ce qui se passait. Que voulait-il au juste ? Que je sois le premier de ma classe. D’accord. Mais était-ce une raison de me brutaliser de la sorte ?

Book Synopsis Hadriana dans tous mes rêves by : René Depestre
Download or read book Hadriana dans tous mes rêves written by René Depestre and published by Editions Gallimard. This book was released on 1990 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacmel, en Haïti. En 1938, au moment de Carnaval. C'est la fin de Germaine Villaret-Joyeuse, la chère marraine du narrateur et, en même temps, les noces de l'éblouissante Hadriana Siloé. Conduite à l'église, Hadriana pousse un oui hallucinant de détresse et s'écroule, morte, aux pieds de l'officiant. Mais nous sommes au pays vaudou et il n'y a pas de mort qui tienne. A peine enterrée dans sa belle robe blanche, Hadriana se prête au rituel de la métamorphose, et renaît sous l'espèce mythique d'une zombie. Dès lors, le jeune narrateur laisse se débrider son humour et son imagination, dévoilant la scène haïtienne dans toute sa fantasie, sa sensualité, sa magie démontée et son désordre. Comme si la joie de vivre et la terreur de passer à trépas relevaient d'une seule et même énergie.

Book Synopsis From Dessalines to Duvalier by : David Nicholls
Download or read book From Dessalines to Duvalier written by David Nicholls and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with a brief consideration of the colonial period, this book discusses the part played by ideas of race and colour in Haiti since 1804, and their relationship to national independence. The basic thesis is that, while race has been a factor uniting Haitians in a determination to maintain their independence, colour prejudice has led to divisions and has been among the most important causes of the erosion of independence. This third edition of a work which has become a classic in the field, has a substantial new Preface dealing with the post-Duvalier years up to the return of President Aristide in 1994. It concludes with a comprehensive and critical bibliography of works published since the first edition appeared in 1979.
