Postcolonial Ghosts / Fantômes Postcoloniaux

2009

As liminal beings, ghosts seem particularly appropriate to define, question or challenge hybrid cultures where several, seemingly irreconcilable, identities coexist. The present volume wonders how they manifest themselves in the English-speaking world, and whether there is a specifically postcolonial kind of haunting. The 22 articles deal with textual, translational or historical ghosts, and take us to Canada, Australia, Africa, India or the Caribbean. Poems by Gerry Turcotte literally haunt the volume, which thus juxtaposes theory and practice in a dynamic and fruitful way.

Another Life

2013

Many writers started their professional lives in very diverse fields before embracing writing, or on the contrary have turned away from writing. The present volume seeks to explore the complex relationship between that ‘other life’ and writing. The aim is to determine whether a writer’s ‘other life’ appears in, influences or even shapes his/her work, and to what extent. What is the part of gestation and that of rupture? A diversity of writers is examined: Patrick Chamoiseau, J. M. Coetzee, Jan J. Dominique, Janet Frame, Amitav Ghosh, L. K. Johnson, Wilson Harris, Dany Laferrière, Yannick Lahens, NourbeSe Philip, Emmelie Prophète, Arundhati Roy, Edward Said, but also Bartolomé de las Casas a…

L’espace dans Der einzige Ort de Thomas Stangl : pour une circulation des modèles culturels et identitaires ?

2016

International audience; Dans son roman Der einzige Ort (2004), l’écrivain autrichien contemporain Thomas Stangl s’attache aux dichotomies de « l’ici et de l’ailleurs » et du « soi et de l’Autre » dans une perspective déconstructiviste et postcoloniale.L’espace en tant que motif littéraire et que catégorie poétologique y occupe une place centrale car il permet à l’auteur d’esquisser un bouleversement identitaire qui trouve sa source dans de nouvelles interactions entre le sujet et ce qui lui est à l’origine étranger.Parallèlement, Stangl fait de l’acte narratif une topographie complexe et ouverte sur l’Ailleurs.

Translating culture: Charles Mungoshi's Waiting for the Rain

2008

In Waiting for the Rain Charles Mungoshi chose a western form, the novel, and a western language, English, to try and convey the deep changes at work in Zimbabwean society at the time. This paper focuses on both aspects: first, the adaptation of the novelistic genre to Zimbabwean culture, and second, the defamiliarization of the English language, which is not Mungoshi's mother tongue. What is questioned is whether the incorporation of essentially oral elements, belonging to and borrowed from a specific culture and language, which are initially peripheral and foreign to the dominant "English" culture, can transform both Zimbabwean culture and English culture – in other words, Waiting for the…
