Abstract

Né en 1928 à Sainte-Marie en Martinique, Edouard Glissant compte aujourd'hui parmi les écrivains les plus importants de la littérature antillaise d'expression française. Depuis la parution La Lézarde, qui lui valut le prix Renaudot en 1958, il n'a cessé de s'imposer comme l'auteur le plus fécond de sa génération prenant ainsi la relève de celle qui nous imposa les noms d'Aimé Césaire, René Ménil, Joseph Zobel et Franz Fanon. Poète, romancier, essayiste, dramaturge, critique d'art, Glissant déploie son oeuvre sur différents registres reprenant inlassablement la question de l'identité antillaise. Mais sans doute l'antillanité ne saurait-elle se laisser saisir par le concept d'identité sans le mettre violemment en question. En effet, que peut être la littérature d'un peuple arraché à son origine il y a quatre siècle par la Traite et qui, en l'absence d'une mémoire collective, n'a jamais pu élaborer au moyen de mythes et d'épopées, la catégorie du passé ? Qu'est ce qu'un peuple ne brutalement à la modernité et qui n'a pu mûrir dans les profondeurs stratifiées du temps? La question de la mémoire et de l'origine renvoie ainsi à une question plus profonde: qu'est-ce qu'oublier? Car la force énigmatique de l'oublié c'est qu'il nous laisse toujours en rapport avec ce qui est oublié. Si la poésie est chant de la mémoire, que peut être désormais le chant antillais?.

Abstract

The range of literature written in English but produced outside Britain and America has expanded considerably in recent years. This book provides a comparative and up-to-date survey of colonial, new national and post-colonial literatures, and related criticism. At the same time, the essays address the problem of establishing such politicized categories of literature; they recognize that, in a time of massive migration, rapid international communication, and increased demands by minorities, national cultures and national identities are less stable than ever before. Intended as an introduction for those new to the subject, the collection contributes to the ongoing discussion about the new literatures, and should also interest the specialist.

Abstract

In this book Brian Crow and Chris Banfield provide an introduction to post-colonial theatre by concentrating on the work of major dramatists from the Third World and subordinated cultures in the first world. Crow and Banfield consider the plays of such writers as Wole Soyinka and Athol Fugard and his collaborators from Africa; Derek Walcott from the West Indies; August Wilson and Jack Davis, who write from and about the experience of Black communities in the USA and Australia respectively; and Badal Sircar and Girish Karnad from India. Although these dramatists reflect diverse cultures and histories, they share the common condition of cultural subjection or oppression, which has shaped their theatres. Each chapter contains an informative list of primary source material and further reading about the dramatists. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of theatre and cultural history.
