Creative Understanding Does Not Renounce Itself, Its Own Place and Time, Its Own Culture; and It Forgets Nothing. in Order to Un Creative understanding does not renounce itself, its own place and time, its own culture; and it forgets nothing. In order to understand, it is immensely important for the person who understands to be located outside the object of his/her creative understanding – in time, in space, in culture. In the realm of culture, outsideness is a most powerful factor in understanding … We raise new questions for a foreign culture, ones that it did not raise for itself; we seek answers to our own questions in it; and the foreign culture responds to us by revealing to us its new aspects and new semantic depths. Without one’s own questions one cannot creatively understand anything other or foreign.

DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Adriana Golumbeanu, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Professor John Conteh-Morgan, Advisor Professor Eugene W. Holland Professor Mihaela Marin Approved by ______________________________ Advisor French and Italian Graduate Program ABSTRACT This dissertation is predominantly an analysis of urban (and suburban or peripheral) representations in four francophone postcolonial fictional narratives: Xala (1973) by Ousmane Sembène, Texaco (1992) by Patrick Chamoiseau, Les honneurs perdus (1996) by Calixthe Beyala, and La Belle Créole (2001) by Maryse Condé. My intention is to show how Sembène, Chamoiseau, Beyala, and Condé recreate the postcolonial urban geography and its inhabitants, and which coordinates they follow in this process of recreation. The dissertation is divided into four chapters. In the first chapter, the introduction, I present the bio- bibliographical resources I have used, as well as the objective of this dissertation, the texts and the authors. In the second chapter, I attempt to analyze the representation of the city as a space of fulfillment or disillusionment, a space of hope or a dystopia. My intention is to emphasize the literary strategies and images that highlight the representation of the urban aspects, as well as some of the external factors, economic, social, racial or cultural, that preside over a specific recreation of urban reality. In the third chapter, my goal is to identify the modes of representation of some urban structures and territorial networks in the selected literary texts, showing how this effect of ‘spatialization’ is obtained, and to what end, if other than purely esthetic. Another aspect I pursue is showing how the hierarchies and the interdependences of the urban spaces are represented in our novels. The fourth chapter emphasizes the place of women in the postcolonial francophone city, their relationship with ii urban spatiality, their vision of the city, as represented by the selected authors. This dissertation attempts to analyze the aforementioned aspects in their close relationship with the narrative substance. iii À ma fille et à mon époux iv REMERCIEMENTS Je souhaite remercier mon directeur de thèse, Dr. John Conteh-Morgan, pour ses suggestions excellentes et pour ses encouragements, qui ont assuré l’achèvement de cette thèse.

Aristote Quand Michel de Certeau écrivait les ‘ Marches de la ville,’ un des chapitres les plus connus de L’invention du quotidien, 1 il n’avait aucune idée que son observatoire, le World Trade Center, n’existerait plus à partir de septembre 2001. Ses visions presque poétiques restent aujourd’hui, en histoires photographiques, comme un des témoignages de la géographie narrative du New York d’avant. La ville, telle qu’il la contemple et la lit de sa tour d’élection, tantôt océan, tantôt texte, mouvante et incompréhensiblement belle, change d’aspect et de sens selon le désir de l’observateur. Il peut se la soumettre, car il n’appartient plus au labyrinthe des rues, à la foule, à la rumeur et au trafic nerveux de la métropole, mais aux espaces réservés aux dieux. La ville se déroule à ses pieds, en marées hautes et en marées basses, image et texte, sensation et création des sens. La ville, comme le texte de Michel de Certeau parmi tant d’autres le montre, a toujours exercé une fascination troublante sur l’homme, échappant à la tyrannie d’un présent unique2 avec sa diversité, son importance économique, sociale et culturelle. Comme 1 Michel de Certeau, L’invention du quotidien (Paris: Gallimard, 1994). 2 Lewis Mumford, ‘The Culture of Cities,’ Metropolis: Center and Symbol of Our Time, ed. Philip Kasinitz (New York: New York University Press, 1995) 22. 1 Cicéro commentait déjà dans le Rêve de Scipio, ‘rien n’est plus agréable aux yeux de ceux qui gouvernent l’univers que les sociétés d’hommes fondées sur le respect des lois, qu’on appelle cités.’ La cité ou la ville est la source des qualités comme la civilisation et la civilité, l‘urbanité, dérivés de civitas et urbis, qui se trouvent à la base d’une société fondée sur le respect des lois.3 L’espace urbain, construction et en même temps constructeur d’humanité, est imaginé comme un archétype où l’on joue le rapport entre esthétique et éthique,4 comme une métaphore de la condition humaine,5 le plus important des artefacts humains, et qui, vu sa complexité, ne peut être jamais appréhendé en sa totalité. En tant que telle, la ville a inspiré une littérature mondiale des plus diverses, de la poésie jusqu’au roman, l’imaginaire littéraire se ressentant du contact de l’écrivain avec le panorama urbain.6 Les créations représentant le milieu urbain envisagent celui-ci comme ‘une mosaïque d’identités et de territoires,’ 7 comme un espace centripète,8 qui attire un discours spécifique, devenu déjà traditionnel. Cette thèse se concentre, généralement parlant, sur l’analyse de la représentation de la ville dans le roman francophone de l’Afrique et des Antilles, que la critique littéraire n’a pas épuisée, comme je vais le montrer plus loin. Les romans choisis sont Xala (1973) d’Ousmane Sembène, Texaco (1992) de Patrick Chamoiseau, Les honneurs perdus (1996) de Calixthe Beyala, et La Belle Créole (2001) de Maryse Condé. Dans ce qui suit, je vais essayer de situer ces romans dans le contexte socio-historique et culturel dont ils sont, du moins en partie, le 3 Charles Molesworth, ‘Discourse and the City,’ City Images: Perspectives from Literature, Philosophy and Film, ed. Mary Ann Caws ( New York: Gordon and Breach, 1991) 13. 4 Chantal Tatu, ‘De l’esthétisme urbain à l’esthétisme dans Manhattan Transfer,’ Cités ou citadelles, ed.

Celle-ci met son empreinte, dans une certaine mesure, sur la représentation de l’espace urbain dans la littérature mondiale en général et dans la littérature francophone en particulier. Je vais montrer après pourquoi on voit le roman comme le genre littéraire le plus adéquat pour la représentation littéraire de la ville, car les ouvres choisies sont des romans. Il est aussi utile de connaître l’importance du thème de la ville dans la littérature africaine et antillaise, surtout que l’apparition de plus en plus fréquente de ce thème dans la littérature mentionnée est liée au développement poussé de l’espace urbain sur le continent africain, phénomène qui continue à un rythme

  • Race, Gender, and Sexuality in Suzanne
    La Mulâtresse During the Two World Wars: Race, Gender, and Sexuality in Suzanne Lacascade’s Claire-Solange, âme-africaine and Mayotte Capécia’s Je suis Martiniquaise Nathan H. Dize When we think of the literature produced before, during, and after the two World Wars we rarely think of the Caribbean as a site of significant literary output. Typically, we privilege a white, male, European literary voice. If we do consider literature from elsewhere, it usually follows a pattern of normative privilege. Therefore, it is useful to consider the female Caribbean voice and its response to colonialism, racism, and gender violence during the period between 1914 and 1945. Claire-Solange, âme-africaine offers arguably one of the best examples of a female Caribbean perspective on World War I as well as global politics. Although Suzanne Lacascade’s novel has been obscured and lost over time, the Martinican author portrays everyday scenarios in France during World War I to empower marginalized Caribbean women during one of the most tumultuous moments in the early 20th Century. While Lacascade shifts our lens to the First World War, Mayotte Capécia’s Je suis Martiniquaise is set, in part, during the blockade years in Martinique during World War II under Admiral Georges Robert. Together, these two Martinican female writers – even though they are less well known than their canonical male compatriots Aimé Césaire, Édouard Glissant, and Patrick Chamoiseau – lucidly portray the everyday lives of mulatto women in Martinique and in France as they negotiate their place on the periphery of French society. I argue below that through their interrogations of the everyday during these two wars that Lacascade and Capécia generate female protagonists who challenge racial, cultural, gender, and sexual stereotypes, which have historically rendered mixed race women as marginalized figures in Francophone Caribbean literature.

Caribbean Literature (Francophone) 137 CARIBBEAN LITERATURE (FRANCOPHONE), or Antillean literature, is the literature in French from Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, and Haiti. Ex­ cept in the case of Haiti, this literature developed along three major concepts: negritude, Caribbeanness, and Creoleness. Critics trace its origins to the rise of the negritude movement (in the 1930s), when black students, intellectuals, and artists revolted against France's assimilation policies to adopt an ideology aimed at restor­ ing black and African values embedded in popular culture. The literary landmark 138 Caribbean Literature (Francophone) was undoubtedly Aime Cesaire's Notebook of a Return to My Native Land ( Cahier d'un retour au pays natal, 1939). Four centuries of slavery and colonization had a debilitating effect on the Antil­ leans' psyche, fostering the belief that rescue from savagery was possible only through Western culture.

    TRANSCULTURALITY AND THE FRANCOPHONE MOTHER Allison Spellman Connolly A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Languages (French). Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Dominique Fisher Martine Antle Hassan Melehy Maria DeGuzman Roberta Ann Dunbar ©2007 Allison Spellman Connolly ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ALLISON SPELLMAN CONNOLLY. Transculturality and the Francophone Mother (Under the direction of Dominique Fisher) This dissertation examines the representation of complex mother figures presented in Francophone literature. I focus my analysis on literature from three distinct Francophone regions: the French Caribbean, North Africa, and Quebec. Pluie et vent sur Télumée Miracle (1972) by Simone Schwarz-Bart and L’espérance-macadam (1995) and L’exil selon Julia (1996) by Gisèle Pineau put forth both positive and negative mother figures from Guadeloupe. La femme sans sépulture (2002) by Assia Djebar and Des rêves et des assassins (1995) by Malika Mokeddem depict the struggles of North African mothers and their children, both in Algeria and abroad. Finally, from Quebec, Ying Chen’s L’Ingratitude (1995) and Abla Farhoud’s Le bonheur à la queue glissante (2004) demonstrate the repressive patriarchal structure that inhibits mother figures and has lasting repercussions in the lives of their children. Close reading of these texts reveals the multiple roles mothers play in postcolonial contexts, including primary breadwinner, guardian of culture, and participant in a war of liberation. In examining mother figures within and across various Francophone regions, this dissertation uncovers the complexities of the maternal role in transcultural societies.

SFPS was created in 2002 with the aim of continuing and developing the pioneering work of its predecessor organization, the Association for the Study of Caribbean and African Literature in French (ASCALF). SFPS does not seek to impose a monolithic understanding of the ‘postcolonial’ and it consciously aims to appeal to as diverse a range of members as possible, in order to engage in wide-ranging debate on the nature and legacy of colonialism in and beyond the French-speaking world. SFPS encourages work of a transcultural, transhistorical, comparative and interdisciplinary nature. It implicitly seeks to decolonize the term Francophone, emphasizing that it should refer to all cultures where French is spoken (including, of course, France itself), and it encourages a critical reflection on the nature of the cognate disciplines of French Studies, on the one hand, and Anglophone Postcolonial Studies, on the
