Download or read book BODIES, MEMORIES AND SPIRITS written by Travis Weekes and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-02-13 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The island of Saint Lucia possesses a vibrant Creole culture that has given shape to a lively and creative people. Cyclical traditions akin to Community Theatre emerged out of discourses, counter-discourses and work practices during centuries of European slavery and/or colonization of the Amerindian, the African and the East Indian. This text provides descriptions of a selection of those traditions. The research was conducted when the author was employed with the Folk Research Centre and while he was engaged in graduate research as a student of Cultural Studies at UWI, Cave Hill. Although the author attempts to place the traditions under study in their historical context, his focus however is on a discussion of the impact of those traditions on the people and their society.

Download or read book History and Language in St Lucia 1654-1915 written by Dr Morgan Dalphinis and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sons and daughters of St Lucia are likely to love Morgan Dalphinis' clear and readable account of the island's linguistic history. His soaring overview highlights significant points of interconnection in the web of language, culture and identity as the peoples of the island confronted successive waves of change and shaped their destinies. Consequently, St Lucian History & Language not only acknowledges influences pre 1654, but in light of identified developments between that date and 1915 Dalphinis asks us some provocative questions about the direction of travel for both the language and people beyond the early decades of the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Kwéyòl in Postcolonial Saint Lucia written by Aonghas St-Hilaire and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can historically marginalized, threatened languages be saved in the contemporary global era? In relation to the wider postcolonial world, especially the Caribbean, this book focuses on efforts to preserve and promote Lesser Antillean French Creole Kwéyòl as the national language of Saint Lucia and on the legacy of colonialism and impact of globalization, with which English has become the universal lingua franca, as mitigating factors undermining these efforts. It deals specifically with language planning for democratization and government; literacy, the schools and higher education; and the mass media. It also examines changes in the status of and attitudes toward Kwéyòl, English and French since national independence and presents language planning implications from these changes and steps already undertaken to elevate Kwéyòl. The book offers new insight into globalization and its impact on linguistic pluralism, language planning, national development, Creole languages, and cultural identity in the Caribbean.

Download or read book Compere Lapin Tales written by Jacintha Annius Lee and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compere Lapin Tales is a compilation of Saint Lucian Folk Stories, all authentic in nature and perhaps one of the few, documented and published account of these folk tales. Most of the stories relate to animals like Lapin (Rabbit), Tigre (Tiger), Chat (Cat), Cabuite (Goat), Macack (Monkey) and many others in the animal kingdom. There are also those about kings, queens and ordinary men, women and children. The tradition of storytelling has become extinct in Saint Lucia. Prior to the advent of television, storytelling was one of the main sources of entertainment on the island. People would gather around the conteur to listen to the many adventures of creatures from the animal kingdom, particularly the Rabbit known as Compere Lapin. The telling of folk stories at one time formed an integral part of 'wakes', a tradition where family and friends gathered to remember their deceased loved ones. It is hoped that this collection will encourage Saint Lucians to once again 'teway leestwaar' (relate stories) as a form of entertainment. Although designed for young students, this collection will appeal to adults and anyone interested in the culture of Saint Lucia. Some of the original folktales were considered too crude and were modified out of consideration for young readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His Conway name was Sonny Boy, and it was in Conway that he grew from infancy to adulthood and became a shipwright, carpenter, joiner, fisherman, and musician. In The Conway St. Lucia, author Clement Springer Williams remembers his life growing up in Conway St. Lucia, especially as this small community weathered World War II. Through this collection of stories, Williams narrates the sights, sounds, people, and culture of Conway. It was predominantly a fishing village, and fishing was his joy and his pastime. Conway was also the place that gave him an appreciation for intrinsic beauty, for divine revelation in things like the rising of the morning star and the bright and luminous beauty of the evening sunset. In this memoir, Williams tells about his many and varied experiences in this community whose people lived in unity and supported each other in every calamityfrom saving lives to feeding the hungry, launching vessels, and burying the dead. The Conway St. Lucia shares the remembrances of yesterday and celebrates the changes of today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection considers the significance of Creole cultures within current, changing global contexts. With a particular focus on post-colonial Small Island Developing States, it brings together perspectives from academics, policy makers and practitioners including those based in Dominica, St Lucia, Seychelles and Mauritius. Together they provide a rich exploration of issues that arise in relation to safeguarding the intangible cultural heritage that sustains Creole identities. Commencing with considerations of the UNESCO (2003) Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), the collection then presents case studies from the Seychelles, Mauritius, St. Lucia and Dominica. These attest to the many and different ways through which Creole cultural practices remain significant to the lived experiences of Creole communities. These chapters exemplify how through activities such as storytelling, singing, dancing, making artworks and the alternative economic practice of koudmen, Creole peoples sustain cultural identities that draw strength from their traditions. Yet there is also recognition of the continual struggle to sustain Creole cultural practices in the face of global economic and political pressures and related uncertainties. This global economic landscape also has an impact upon how Creole cultures are presented to tourists and hence upon the ways in which cultural practices are supported.
