Simone Schwarz-Bart : Quel Intérêt? Classer L’Inclassable, Christiane Ndiaye
Simone Schwarz-Bart : Quel Intérêt? Classer L’Inclassable, Christiane Ndiaye
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Critics do not agree on what constitutes the interest of the works of Schwarz- Bart. However, four major tendencies are apparent in the many critical studies of her works: some are interested in the "creole experience" her novels are said to portray, others in the "feminine experience", while others again in the "mythological" dimension and the question of what is borrowed from oral literature. These different approches interpret the works of Schwarz-Bart essentially in the perspective of "testimony" and, even though there is a consensus as to the originality of her writing, there is little analysis of the specific techniques …

Réceptions De L’Oeuvre D’Émile Ollivier : De La Difficulté De Nommer L’Écrivain Migrant, Joubert Satyre
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Abstract: Who is a migrant writer? That’s the question asked by Québec institutions which legitimatize literature, including journalistic critics and scholars. The aim of our paper is to make an inventory of the terms employed by these institutions to name Émile Ollivier (1940-2002), an Haitian novelist who has been exiled in Québec since the mid-sixties. These terms reveal a discontent and vagueness in the attempt to link the novelist to a nationality or a country. Between appropriation and dismissal, this multiplicity symbolizes a resistance to frankly consider this writer as a Quebecer. We also refer to the "in-between" of all …
Review Of Women In Argentina: Early Travel Narratives By Mónica Szurmuk, Women At Sea: Travel Writing And The Margins Of Caribbean Discourse Ed. By Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert And Ivette Romero-Cesareo, And In Praise Of New Travelers: Reading Caribbean Migrant Women’S Writing By Isabel Hoving., Lee Joan Skinner
CMC Faculty Publications and Research
In recent years, travel writing, once considered a minor genre, has been the subject of increased critical attention. Critics have focused on the ways in which travel narratives serve both to construct and to destabilize notions of identity at the individual, regional, and national levels. As the books under consideration here show, travel narratives produced by Caribbean and Latin American women writers in particular, demonstrate the malleability of subject positions, as the women travelers interrogate their shifting roles vis-à-vis the metropolis as well as male-dominated writing traditions.

Violent Fathers And Runaway Sons: Colonial Relationships In Une Vie De Boy And Mission Terminée , Laurie Corbin
Violent Fathers And Runaway Sons: Colonial Relationships In Une Vie De Boy And Mission Terminée , Laurie Corbin
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
This study examines familial relationships in two novels published by Ferdinand Oyono and Mongo Beti shortly before Cameroon's independence in 1960, making use of three levels of analysis. The first shows the impact of colonization on familial and social structures, in particular the ways in which the weakening of the traditional hierarchy leads to the flight of young men from their families and villages. The second looks at the two novels as showing the relationship of France (who was often represented as a kindly parent to its colonies), the colonized countries, and their citizens: the unpredictable and brutal father can …

The Literal And The Literary: A Note On The Historical References In Isabel Allende's La Casa De Los Espíritus , Scott Macdonald Frame
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
Stripped of much of its individuality as a piece of literature and relegated to the niche set aside for women's writing, Isabel Allende's La casa de los espíritus has sometimes wrongfully been critically condemned as a mere facsimile of García Màrquez's seminal Latin American novel. However, if critics were to reexamine La casa de los espíritus as a work of fiction in which its writer attempts to give voice to, and achieve personal closure of, historical events so tragically real for her, its comparisons with that "other" Latin American novel might be less frequent. This article contends that Allende uses …

The Living World, Politics, And Nation: Nature And Discourse In The Poetry Of Nicolás Guillén, Mark J. Mascia
The Living World, Politics, And Nation: Nature And Discourse In The Poetry Of Nicolás Guillén, Mark J. Mascia
Languages Faculty Publications
Through an analysis of key examples of Guillén's use of nature throughout his poetry, this article presents the argument that they all are fundamentally rooted in a configuration of nature as a living being and in an understanding of humanity's place as part of nature. For Guillén, nature is not simply something that he merely appreciates as a theme; rather, it is a vital element central to his view of the worid and to his development as a writer. The collections examined here are West Indies, Ltd., El son entero, and La paloma de vuelo popula.

PEDRO Salinas es el poeta moderno del amor influido tanto por el gusto renacentista, con alusiones implicitas a Jorge Manrique y Garcilaso, como por el gusto romintico -Espronceda o Becquer-. Su obra poetica se enmarca en tres fases claramente diferenciadas por Juan Marichal en Tres Voces de Pedro Salinas. "La primera que corresponde alas dos d6cadas 1913-1933, es la fase de lo que podrfamos denominar fase de encentraci6nl;a segunda, de 1933-1936, es la fase de lo que podrfamos denominar de descentracio6enn el th de la amada, y la tercera, de 1936 a 1951, es la fase final de sobre-centracioe6nn el …

En este estudio se examina el proceso de convertirse en hombre en el cuento "Campeones" de Pedro Juan Soto y en la autobiografia Down These Mean Streets de Piri Thomas. Varios de los elementos que aparecen en el movimiento masculino sirven como punto de partida para esta investigacion: la violencia, la figura del heroe y el distanciamiento entre padre e hijo. En el analisis se ven las figuras masculinas desde la perspectiva del varon que pertenece a un grupo minoritario dentro del conglomerado multicultural de los Estados Unidos. Con este estudio se pretende ofrecer una vision mas amplia del varon …
