Abstract

This volume of essays constitutes an up-to-date survey of pidgin and creole linguistics intended for general linguists and readers interested in current theory in such diverse areas as linguistic universals, language acquisition, bilingualism, and language planning. It will acquaint persons relatively unfamiliar with the field with established theories and data, enabling them to follow current debates and to undertake research in the field. Thus it may serve as a basic textbook in courses in sociolinguistics, bilingualism, and language contact, as well as in ethno- or anthropological linguistics, whose focus is language variation and its social and cultural implications. The volume includes a global survey of the distribution of pidgin and creole languages, accompanied by a world distribution map and detailed maps of the Caribbean and other areas. Contributors to this work are Albert Valdman, David DeCamp, Pieter Muysken, Guus Meijer, Derek Bickerton, Elizabeth Closs Traugott, Charles A. Ferguson, Charles E. DeBose, Gabriel Manessy, John R. Rickford, Robert Le Page, Robert Chaudenson, Ian F. Hancock, Keith Whinnom, Dennis R. Craig, and Stephen A. Wurm.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage abondamment illustré présente de façon détaillée les pharmacopées de trois populations de Guyane française, les Créoles, les Wayãpi et les Palikur. L’usage des plantes médicinales rythme la vie de ces trois groupes qui élaborent leurs pharmacopées selon leurs propres conceptions du corps et de ses rapports au monde et à l’environnement. Cet ouvrage a été réalisé à partir d’enquêtes pluridisciplinaires menés par des chercheurs de l’IRD, avec le concours de spécialistes et d’institution divers, à l’interface des sciences de la nature et de la vie et des sciences de l’homme et de la société. Cette édition revue et augmentée a été enrichie de nombreuses espèces médicinales recueilleis jusqu’en 2001. Sur les 620 plantes décrites, plus de 20 % des taxons ont changé depuis la première édition de l’ouvrage en 1987 tandis que le texte a été complété de données issues de la littérature scientifique récente dans les domaines de la chimie, la pharmacologie et l’ethnobotanique. À l’heure des débats sur la valorisation des produits forestiers, sur les droits de propriété intellectuelle et les modalités d’application de la Convention sur la biodiversité, les interrogations formulées par les auteurs dès 1987 trouvent une acuité tout à fait nouvelle. L’ouvrage avait alors valeur de témoignage sur la richesse des savoirs des peuples amazoniens et constituait un élément important dans la reconnaissance de leurs droits. Les auteurs fondent à présent l’espoir que cette nouvelle édition de leur ouvrage contribuera à une ré-appropriation par ces peuples médecines traditionnelles et de leurs pharmacopées.

Abstract

Creolizing Europe critically interrogates creolization as the decolonial, rhizomatic thinking necessary for understanding the cultural and social transformations set in motion through trans/national dislocations. Exploring the usefulness, transferability, and limitations of creolization for thinking post/coloniality, raciality and othering not only as historical legacies but as immanent to and constitutive of European societies, this volume develops an interdisciplinary dialogue between the social sciences and the humanities. While not all the contributions in this volume explicitly address Edouard Glissant’s approach to creolization, they all engage with aspects of his thinking. All of the chapters explore the usefulness, transferability, and limitations of creolization to the European context. As such, this edited collection offers a significant contribution and intervention in the fields of European Studies, Postcolonial Studies, and Cultural Studies on two levels.

Abstract

On l’appelle l’île-écriture. Carrefour de l’Afrique, de l’Europe et de l’Asie, l’île Maurice, de par sa situation géographique et son passé colonial, n’est pas sans points communs avec les Antilles et le monde caribéen, mais s’en démarque par une dynamique distincte entre indianité et créolité. L’objet de ce volume est de creuser son mystère en abordant ses rives par la géographie, l’ethnologie, l’histoire, l’économie et la littérature, à travers le regard conjugué d’indianistes et de spécialistes de l’aire indianocéanique. Se situant hors de l’Inde et de l’Asie du Sud, cet ouvrage explore la façon dont l’indianité s’adapte dans ce contexte insulaire. L’hindouisme créole mauricien, par exemple, est un modèle inédit. Une littérature indo-francophone novatrice et foisonnante s’y épanouit. Tissés par l’histoire maritime du commerce et de l’engagisme, les liens économiques avec l’Inde se voient concurrencés par un autre acteur qu’est la Chine. L’adoption d’un multiculturalisme inspiré du modèle indien de l’« unité dans la diversité » se fait parfois au détriment des minorités. Sans nier les tensions inhérentes à une société portée à l’extrême ethnicisation des critères qu’elle retient, ce volume donne à voir, dans le mêlement de ces deux mondes, une posture cosmopolite originale, qui renouvelle la perception de l’indianité.

Abstract

The Francophone Caribbean and the American South are sites born of the plantation, the common matrix for the diverse nations and territories of the circum-Caribbean. This book takes as its premise that the basic configuration of the plantation, in terms of its physical layout and the social relations it created, was largely the same in the Caribbean and the American South. Essays written by leading authorities in the field examine the cultural, social, and historical affinities between the Francophone Caribbean and the American South, including Louisiana, which among the Southern states has had a quite particular attachment to France and the Francophone world. The essays focus on issues of history, language, politics and culture in various forms, notably literature, music and theatre. Considering figures as diverse as Barack Obama, Frantz Fanon, Miles Davis, James Brown, Edouard Glissant, William Faulkner, Maryse Condé and Lafcadio Hearn, the essays explore in innovative ways the notions of creole culture and creolization, terms rooted in and indicative of contact between European and African people and cultures in the Americas, and which are promoted here as some of the most productive ways for conceiving of the circum-Caribbean as a cultural and historical entity.
