Cultural Crossings a la Croisee Des Cultures: Negotiating Identities in Francophone and Anglophone Pacific Literatures de La Negociation Des Identites

Raylene Ramsay

4.9/5 (14487 ratings)

Description:Hitherto undiscovered yet fundamental historical and literary texts from the Pacific provide the subject matter of this collection of essays which sets out to explore the new forms of writing and hybrid identities emerging from both past and contemporary cultural contact and exchange in the South Seas. This is also a weaving of the connections between Francophone and Anglophone writers long separated by colonial history. Luis Cardoso, writing in Portuguese from East Timor offers further points of contrast. The places of encounter - the beaches of Tahiti, the retelling of the texts of oral tradition, indigenous mastery of writing and appropriation of Western technology, the construction of contemporary Pacific anthologies or emerging post-colonial writing and translation - are sites of interaction and mixing that also involve negotiations of mana or power. From Pierre Lotis mythical and feminised Tahitians to Dewe Gorodes silenced women, the outcomes of such negotiations are dynamic and different syncretisms. Two chapters reexamine the theoretical concept of hybridity from these Pacific perspectives. Les articles publies dans le present recueil explorent les nouvelles formes decriture et les identites hybrides issues du creuset des Mers du Sud. Relativement inconnus, les textes au cur de ces articles nen sont pas moins les uvres fondatrices de la region du Pacifique Sud dont ils constituent la trame historique et litteraire. Longtemps tenus a lecart les uns des autres par lhistoire coloniale de la region, les textes dauteurs francophones et anglophones senchevetrent et se recoupent en de multiples domaines. La reprise des textes de tradition orale, lappropriation autochtone des technologies occidentales, la creation danthologies contemporaines et lemergence dune litterature postcoloniale, sont autant de sites dinteractions et de convergence qui exigent une negociation permanente entre les pouvoirs et mana en presence. Cest une nouvelle facette du concept dhybridite que nous proposent ces etudes de la region Pacifique."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
