Focusing on the literary representation of performance practices in anglophone, francophone, and hispanophone Caribbean literature, Jeannine Murray-Román shows how a shared regional aesthetic emerges from the descriptions of music, dance, and oral storytelling events. Because the historical circumstances that led to the development of performance traditions supersede the geopolitical and linguistic divisions of colonialism, the literary uses of these traditions resonate across the linguistic boundaries of the region. The author thus identifies the aesthetic that emerges from the act of writing about live arts and moving bodies as a practice that is grounded in the historically, geographically, and culturally specific features of the Caribbean itself. Working with twentieth- and twenty-first-century sources ranging from theatrical works and novels to blogs, Murray-Román examines the ways in which writers such as Jacques Stephen Alexis, Zoé Valdés, Rosario Ferré, Patrick Chamoiseau, and Marlon James experiment with textually compensating for the loss of the corporeality of live relationship in performance traditions. Through their exploration of the interaction of literature and performance, she argues, Caribbean writers themselves offer a mode of bridging the disjunction between cultural and philosophical approaches within Caribbean studies.

This study explores the dialogue between the biographical and authorial selves of the writer Ruskin Bond, whose liminal subjectivity is informed by the fantasies of space and time.

Dans la riche littérature antillaise d'expression française, il est un personnage qui revient de manière récurrente depuis une vingtaine d'années, c'est celui de l'écrivain. Lydie Moudileno analyse ses représentations dans la production romanesque de la Martinique et de la Guadeloupe depuis les années 80. En examinant les diverses mises en scène de ce personnage, à la fois marginal et familier, elle s'interroge sur la condition du sujet-écrivant aux Antilles, ses fantasmes, ses limites, ses paradoxes, et sur le rapport qu'il entretient avec ses prédécesseurs, qui vont du contenu traditionnel aux chantres de la négritude. Chacun à sa façon, les écrivains qui figurent dans les romans de Raphaël Confiant, Patrick Chamoiseau, Edouard Glissant, Maryse Condé et Daniel Maximni, repensent leur rapport à la langue, à l'Histoire et à la communauté culturelle à laquelle ils appartiennent, faisant du texte de fiction un lieu privilégié où s'élaborent de nouvelles théories pour la génération de l' "après-négritude". Lydie Moudileno est professeur à l'Université de Pennsylvanie, à Philadelphie, où elle enseigne la littérature française et francophone.
