“Closed Place, Open Word” : Reading the Postplantation in Earl Lovelace, Milton Murayama, and Ntozake Shange
- 2022
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation focuses on three authors who came of age in the 1980s, Earl Lovelace, Milton Murayama, and Ntozake Shange, reading their novels set respectively on Trinidad, Hawai‘i, and the Sea Islands, as postplantation expressions. My definition of the postplantation builds upon the work of Édouard Glissant, especially “Closed Place, Open Word” where he delineates three phases in literary production from the Plantation: the first is chiefly oral and appears as an “act of survival,” the second is an attempt to justify the Plantation system and is marked by “delusion,” and the third phase is written by descendants of the Plantation in a “passion of memory.” It is this third phase that I call the postplantation. Here, several generations after the system’s collapse, writers return to the plantation as a way to process its legacy. An integral part of this process for the authors studied here is the use of Creole languages developed on the plantation and still spoken today. This dissertation’s specific contribution is to show how the history of the plantation is central to contemporary island discourse. My comparative study of novels about Trinidad, Hawai‘i, and the Sea Islands untangles the effect of the plantation in each of these locations: the legacies of racial and sexual trauma, poverty, and the power structures that continue to replicate the plantation, but also the culture and language that emerged in triumph from this dehumanizing system. My readings of the postplantation illustrate how despite writing about three seemingly very different locales, Lovelace, Murayama, and Shange are engaged in similar efforts to reclaim a local culture, language, and history denied in the plantation’s violent trajectory. The emerging field of island studies, archipelagic approaches to literature, and studies of vernacular in world literature speak to the significance of this doctoral study.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The outbreak of the 1791–1804 Haitian revolution shook the imperial powers of Europe and the U.S. Never before had the enslaved rebelled so powerfully, and in the decades to come, the name of the once-lucrative colony, Saint-Domingue, provoked anxiety and suspicion. In 2010, Western eyes again turned to Haiti as a devastating earthquake hit the island. Natural forces, together with poverty and inadequate infrastructure, caused a major humanitarian crisis.Taking its point of departure in the intersection of politics and aesthetics, this special issue of Karib probes the global responses to these events and explores the repercussions within the frame of emergent and contemporary modernity.

Relationens filosofi : Omfångets poesi
- 2012
-
Bok (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Kreolisering, arkipelagiskt tänkande, opacitet, relation, spår och kringflackande – i Relationens filosofi ryms alla de viktigaste begreppen i Édouard Glissants långa författarskap. Det är ett sällsamt tänkande som växer fram ur erfarenheterna från de karibiska öarna: det koloniala arvet och den kreolska kulturen. Att få kunskap är "bokstavligen att röra sig från plats till plats", skriver Glissant, och syftar på textens geografi lika mycket som på världens. Ordens och tankens rotlöshet blir en förutsättning för en filosofi i vardande. Men denna texts utpräglat poetiska rörelse är även politisk. Det är en filosofi som varken förbiser eller söker försoning med den smärtsamma historien – de sjunkna slavskeppen och de tystade ursprungen – utan istället gör den till sin utgångspunkt och använder den för att driva vidare in i framtiden.
