    TOWARDS A TRANS-CARIBBEAN POETICS: A NEW AESTHETICS OF POWER AND RESISTANCE BY DAYNALÍ FLORES-RODRIGUEZ DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus Michael Palencia-Roth, Chair and Director of Research Assistant Professor Nancy Castro Associate Professor Dara Goldman Assistant Professor Luciano Tosta i ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes how Caribbean-American writers living elsewhere challenge common ideas about power, violence and oppression through the reinterpretation of Caribbean dictatorial regimes in their fiction, and how their stories fare in comparison to other narrative traditions such as the Latin American dictator novel genre. The works of Julia Alvarez (The Dominican Republic), Edwidge Danticat (Haiti) and Junot Díaz (The Dominican Republic) share thematic and biographical similarities and reveal an emerging aesthetic with definite textual and thematic traits that I identify as Trans-Caribbean, a poetics with four main constitutive aspects. First, it addresses the tensions between individualism and collectivism in Caribbean discourse. Second it addresses the implicit role of logo centrism in shaping cultural narratives. Third, it presents fragmentation as a phenomenon that is both discursive and thematic. Finally, it develops the multiple strategies of visual and linguistic disruption in order to suspend normative representations of Caribbean identity. Trans-Caribbean Poetics is trans-continental, fragmentary, personal, relational and multilingual and suggests a plausible model to analyze discursive relations in a transnational context.

  • China's Emergence
    Chapter 10 Southwest Pacific We will deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with developing countries and safeguard the common interests we share with them.1 China's engagement with countries in the Southwest Pacific 10.1 China has formed diplomatic relations with a number of island states in the Southwest Pacific. Since establishing formal recognition with these various countries, China's relationships with Pacific Island nations have generally been characterised by high level visits, economic and technical cooperation, and generous development assistance.2 10.2 China established formal diplomatic ties with Samoa and Fiji in 1975, Papua New Guinea (PNG) in 1976, the Cook Islands in 1997, Kiribati in 1980 (ceased 2003), Vanuatu in 1982, the Federated States of Micronesia in 1989, Tonga in 1998 and Nauru in 2002 (ceased 2005). According to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), China has a stronger diplomatic presence in the South Pacific than any other country.3 At the time this report was tabled, six Pacific Island nations afforded diplomatic recognition to Taiwan. These are: Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu.4 10.3 This chapter outlines the nature of China's political engagement with Pacific Island nations, particularly in the context of China's insistence on an adherence to the one-China policy and its contest with Taiwan for diplomatic recognition across the Pacific region. The committee then discusses the problems associated with this diplomatic competition, both for the Pacific Island nations involved and for Australia, which is seeking to improve governance in the region through conditional aid. Visit diplomacy 10.4 High level visits by Pacific Island leaders to China are often marked by lavish receptions.5 For example, the Prime Minister of the Cook Islands, Dr Robert 1 Part VII, Report on the Work of the Government delivered by Premier Wen Jiabao at the Third Session of the 10th National People's Congress, 5 March 2005.

  • And 19Th-Century Plantation Inventories from Martinique In
    M. Cottias A note on 18th- and 19th-century plantation inventories from Martinique In: New West Indian Guide/ Nieuwe West-Indische Gids 64 (1990), no: 1/2, Leiden, 1-6 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl MYRIAM COTTIAS A NOTE ON 18TH- AND 19TH-CENTURY PLANTATION INVENTORIES FROM MARTINIQUE1 When reading through Martiniquan slave inventories for any particular year, one quickly realizes that they must have been written out at some early stage and then copied over from one year to the next.2 When slaves died, their names were simply crossed off the list, and while slaves who were present for at least a year are listed in a careful calligraphy, new arrivals and newborns are listed in a quickly dashed offhand. The following year, their names are copied over with care; henceforth these slaves are full members of the plantation. Each plantation had its own mode of classifying slaves: by age (with the sexes combined), by age and sex (beginning in 1835 for Plantation Acajou), or following some other order that is often difficult to detect at first but which points toward the existence of coherent, identifiable groupings of slaves. When one plantation is linked to another (as is the case for the Gagneron Desvallons sugar plantation, which had been taken over in 1782 by that of Papin de l'Epine), the original mode of classification is maintained: in this case for example, the slaves of Gagneron Desvallons are listed first, followed by the slaves of Papin de l'Epine and the new arrivals.
