Le Projet Judéo-Noir D’André Schwarz-Bart : Saga Réversible, Francine Kaufmann Dec 2012

Le Projet Judéo-Noir D’André Schwarz-Bart : Saga Réversible, Francine Kaufmann

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

André Schwarz-Bart’s literary call was born from his will to immortalize in writing the memory of the culture of his Jewish ancestors which was eradicated from the map of Europe during the Shoa. A pioneer of the “memory work” with The Last of the Justs, a novel awarded the Goncourt in 1959, he invented the genre of the “identity saga” whose heroes gather within themselves the centuriesold experience of their people. A similar ambition guided him while he composed a cycle – that remained mostly unpublished – about Black slavery and the culture issued from it: A Woman Named Solitude.


Le Marranisme Absolu Dans L’Oeuvre D’André Et De Simone Schwarz-Bart, Kathleen Gyssels Dec 2012

Le Marranisme Absolu Dans L’Oeuvre D’André Et De Simone Schwarz-Bart, Kathleen Gyssels

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This article studies in what forms the magical-religious dimension is expressed in the fiction works of the Schwarz-Bart couple in order to assess the function given by the authors to the manifestations of the “divine” therein. The frontier between belief and miscreancy is particularly flexible in each of the novels – whether written jointly or separately – by André and / or Simone Schwarz-Bart. Indeed, co-signed or not, the identity quest cannot be dissociated from the religious one: a quest of the meaning of suffering, of a balm that remedies the agonies and compensates for the traumas endured by two …


The Love Of Neighbors: Rosario Ferré’S Eccentric Neighborhoods/Vecindarios Eccéntricos, Keja L. Valens Oct 2012

The Love Of Neighbors: Rosario Ferré’S Eccentric Neighborhoods/Vecindarios Eccéntricos, Keja L. Valens

Keja Valens

Rosario Ferré’s position in one of Puerto Rico’s most important families and her status as one of the island’s most prolific and most vocally feminist authors render iconic her critiques of Puerto Rican “free association.” But as they struggle to disengage the binary structures of postcolonial patriarchy that constrain them, the women of Eccentric Neighborhoods walk in on possibilities rarely admitted in Ferré’s extensive body of work: English, statehood, and desire between women. The appeal of the titular eccentricity of places and people in Eccentric Neighborhoods is a new order of decentralized parity and plurality, a Caribbean feminist democratic ideal. …

A Postcolonial Comparative Study Of Secondary Education And Its Ideological Implications For West Indian Communities In Puerto Limon, Costa Rica ; Bluefields, Nicaragua ; And Old Providence Island, Colombia, Raquel Sanmiguel

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

The present study sets out to identify the ideological implications that the current national systems of secondary education have for West Indians who ended up living in the “"buffer zone"” between Latin American and Anglophone Caribbean histories: Raizales in Old Providence Island, Colombia; Afrolimonenses in Limón, Costa Rica, and Creoles in Bluefields, Nicaragua. The axis of examination is the school curriculum both as practice and as a set of pre-determined content and goals that teachers have to follow. It is a critical analysis of the ideologies that inform education, supported by an inquiry into the historical and cultural factors that …
