In Caribbean writing, place is intimately inflected by displacement - place and displacement are not dichotomous; every 'here' invariably implies a 'there'. In line with this extreme imbrication of (dis)location, Caribbean writing in French explores questions of increasing global pertinence such as the relation between writing and displacement, local and distant space, text and place, identity and migration, passage and transformation. Contributions range across genres and the work of writers such as Aimé Césaire, Patrick Chamoiseau, René Dépestre, Édouard Glissant, Émile Ollivier, Gisèle Pineau, Simone Schwarz-Bart and Ernest Pépin. Topics explored include the poetics of dwelling space, the postmodern or postcolonial dynamic of the Creole town, and the textualization of place and displacement. Also included are essays on the drama of distance, the metamorphosis of recent Haitian writing, the literary reverberations of the figure of Toussaint L'Ouverture, and links between Ireland and the French Caribbean.
Over the last twenty years, reenactment has been appropriated by both contemporary artistic production and art-theoretical discourse, becoming a distinctive strategy to engage with history and memory. As a critical act of repetition, which is never neutral in reactualizing the past, it has established unconventional modes of historicization and narration. Collecting work by artists, scholars, curators, and museum administrators, the volume investigates reenactment's potential for a (re)activation of layered temporal experiences, and its value as an ongoing interpretative and political gesture performed in the present with an eye to the future. Its contributions discuss the mobilization of archives in the struggle for inclusiveness and cultural revisionism; the role of the body in the presentification and rehabilitation of past events and (impermanent) objects; the question of authenticity and originality in artistic practice, art history, as well as in museum collections and conservation practices.
This book traces the spread of a global anti-imperialism from the vantage point of Paris between the two World Wars, where countless future leaders of Third World countries spent formative stints. Exploring the local social context in which these emergent activists moved, the study delves into assassination plots allegedly hatched by Chinese students, demonstrations by Latin American nationalists, and the everyday lives of Algerian, Senegalese and Vietnamese workers. On the basis of police reports and other primary sources, the book foregrounds the role of migration and interaction as driving forces enabling challenges to the imperial world order, weaving together the stories of peoples of three continents. Drawing on the scholarship of twentieth-century imperial, international and global history as well as migration, race and ethnicity in France, it ultimately proposes a new understanding of the roots of the Third World idea.
Au sein de cette polyphonie en mode mineur, la voix d'Adrian Grima, qui trace son sillon a mezzo voce, ne porte pas sur les contrastes bruyants, ostentatoires, si immediatement perceptibles en Mediterranee. Elle s'attarde sur la densite des silences, l'empreinte d'un corps, le rouge d'un geranium, un rai lumineux sur une chevelure, l'attente, le jaillissement poetique, la fragilite de l'ecriture. Infimes details, faibles lueurs, certes, mais ou se manifeste toute l'intensite de la vie. Extrait de la preface de Philippe Parizot-Clerico"
[This book is written in French.] Alain Jouffroy présente une série de lettres et de textes écrits par Rimbaud au cours de son séjour à Chypre, au Yemen, en Arabie et en Afrique orientale. Rimbaud y a moins fui l'Europe que redessiné et incorporé l'existence d'un monde solaire, indépendant de toutes les frontières occidentales. Une quête du bonheur trop souvent inaccessible. Alain Jouffroy presents a series of letters and texts written by Rimbaud during his stays in Cyprus, Yemen, Arabia and East Africa. There Rimbaud did not so much escape Europe as recreate and incorporate the existence of a sunny world, independent of all Western borders. A search for happiness too often inaccessible.
