Resumo: | The status that Literature of French expression, in particular the Guyanese
one, takes place in Brazilian context is almost non-existent. There is a shortage
of academic papers, translations or even literary studies. Currently, the debate
on colonialism and postcolonialism in the twentieth century brings to the light
ideas from experts of several countries, such as, Homi Bhabha (1949), Edward
Saïd (1978; 1995) and Gayatri Spyvak (1985). Poets as Léon-Gontran Damas
(1937) or Aimé Césaire (1950) and Antilles philosophers as Frantz Fanon
(1952) and Édouard Glissant (1981), have reflected deeply on which world we
are inserted, taking as a starting point colonial condition and slavery heritage
that have marked so much both Guyana and Martinique, the French Antilles.
They have interpreted such spaces and have questioned some common
places and colonial narratives, approaching them considering dominions,
people physical presence and their subjectivities, founding the basis for
practical and theoretical studies on postcolonialism. In this context, Christiane
Taubira wrote, in 2002, her book entitled L’esclavage raconté à ma fille aiming
at revisiting and questioning the silent history of slave trade and slavery in
Americas, Caribbean and Indian Ocean as crimes against humanity. Thus, the
main purpose of this research is identifying and analyzing procedures used by
the author to construct individual identity and collective otherness from
Guyanese multiethnic society. For such approach, it has been used as
theoretical framework studies developed by Édouard Glissant (1981; 1990;
1996; 1997; 2007) concerned to identity questions and relationships among
cultures in contemporary world. Therefore, this dissertation aims, at first
glance, to bring a historical clipping to contextualize the studied piece, besides
introducing an information set concerned to French colonial period and its link
to Guyana past time. Secondly, it will be examined identity search trajectory of
black communities in Americas and France, which originate cultural
movements in the first decades of the 20th century. Then, the evolution of the
postcolonial theory will be investigated, particularly in Guyanese and
Caribbean literature. To understand Glissant’s thought, especially Glissant
(1981; 1990; 1996; 1997; 2007), it is necessary to construct a profile from
Guyanese multiethnic society. In a third moment, the purpose is to develop an
analytical reading from the piece L’esclavage raconté à ma fille (2002),
considering its textual, structural and thematic aspects, focusing interrelations
produced by the author between literature and historical events which
constitute the plot, in order to break up the process of representation for blacks
as antiquated, uncivilized, slighter, hated and intolerable, which colonialist
literature worked out for centuries. |
