Histories are important and histories have a way of travelling.West Indies is one example of a society constructed artificially of imported populations, who have gone on to build their own power structures, political histories and national identities. The Caribbean is one such society where multiculturalism has been put to test.This book is an attempt to understand Caribbean histories, patterns of migration and race relations. It is a collection of essays by Caribbean writers like V.S.Naipaul, Paule Marshall, Jean Rhys, Austin Clarke, Caryl Phillips and Cyril Dabydeen.The essays in this book have taken up most of the representative authors of the Caribbean, either by addressing their work or through contributions by the writers themselves. The attempt has been to provide a chronological history of the Caribbean and to give representation to writers living now in different host cultures.Some papers are gender-oriented and locate the position of the women in the West Indies.

This collection of essays by scholars from Canada, Croatia, India, Italy and Israel maps an important aspect of Canadian culture by exploring the inherent relation between space and questions of subjectivity. Location at first stood out in Canadian Literature because survival depended on control of the land; today owing to the technological advances that have eased human exploitation of the ground and its resources, and to some extent enhanced protection against adverse climatic conditions, the preoccupation with space has shifted to incorporate other realities. As manifest in contemporary writing throughout Canada, humans interact with place in order to strengthen their sense of belonging and selfhood. The essays in Mapping Canadian Cultural Space examine a variety of literary texts by writers from different origins – whether old-timers or newcomers – all aiming at contextualizing subjecthood.

« Le but de l’écriture, c’est de porter la vie à l’état d’une puissance non personnelle », nous dit Gilles Deleuze. En définissant ainsi la littérature, Deleuze nous demande de ne plus la penser en termes thématiques, ni même génériques, mais plutôt en termes d’activité et de créativité. De sa définition, entre esthétique et esquisse d’une théorie de la réception, de « l’impersonnel » du texte littéraire comme « flux qui conjugue avec d’autres flux », naissent de nombreuses questions : l’impersonnel peut-il nous aider à mieux penser le texte et, inversement, aider le texte à se penser soi-même ? Comment le texte et l’écriture amènent-ils l’écrivain à dépasser le seuil de sa propre vie, son propre contexte, sa propre histoire pour toucher quelque chose en dehors de la vie ? Qu’arrive-t-il au lecteur d’un tel texte ? Qu’advient-il dans cette rencontre entre lecteur et texte impersonnel ? Ouvert à toutes les littératures d’Europe et d’Amérique, cet ouvrage est la réponse de chercheurs, de philosophes et de poètes à cette notion problématique. Par-delà la définition deleuzienne, il s’agit d’établir un dialogue entre l’impersonnel et les concepts connexes d’impersonnalité, de dépersonnalisation et de voix collective en littérature. Pour que l’impersonnel ne soit pas simplement le négatif d’une personnalisation valorisée.

The theoretical innovations of Edward Said, Homi Bhabha, Gayatri Spivak, Stuart Hall, Paul Gilroy, James Clifford and others have in recent years vitalized postcolonial and diaspora studies, challenging ways in which we understand 'culture' and developing new ways of thinking beyond the confines of the nation state. The articles in this volume look at recent developments in diasporic literature and theory, alluding to the work of seminal diaspora theoreticians, but also interrogating such thi...
