  • Haunted Narratives: the Afterlife of Gothic Aesthetics in Contemporary Transatlantic Women’S Fiction
    HAUNTED NARRATIVES: THE AFTERLIFE OF GOTHIC AESTHETICS IN CONTEMPORARY TRANSATLANTIC WOMEN’S FICTION Jameela F. Dallis A dissertation submitted to the faculty at 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 English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Minrose Gwin Shayne A. Legassie James Coleman María DeGuzmán Ruth Salvaggio © 2016 Jameela F. Dallis ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Jameela F. Dallis: Haunted Narratives: The Afterlife of Gothic Aesthetics in Contemporary Transatlantic Women’s Fiction (Under the direction of Minrose Gwin and Shayne A. Legassie) My dissertation examines the afterlife of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Gothic aesthetics in twentieth and twenty-first century texts by women. Through close readings and attention to aesthetics and conventions that govern the Gothic, I excavate connections across nation, race, and historical period to engage critically with Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, 1959; Angela Carter’s “The Lady of the House of Love,” 1979; Shani Mootoo’s Cereus Blooms at Night, 1996; and Toni Morrison’s Love, 2003. These authors consciously employ such aesthetics to highlight and critique the power of patriarchy and imperialism, the continued exclusion of others and othered ways of knowing, loving, and being, and the consequences of oppressing, ignoring, or rebuking these peoples, realities, and systems of meaning. Such injustices bear evidence to the effects of transatlantic commerce fueled by the slave trade and the appropriation and conquering of lands and peoples that still exert a powerful oppressive force over contemporary era peoples, especially women and social minorities.

Abstract Most research into contemporary French West Indian literature focuses on writing that stresses the significance of the plantation and urban cultures of the islands in the early to mid-twentieth century or, more recently, on the desire of some writers to explore broader trans-national influences or environments.

  • Set in the Caribbean-Canadian Community of Toronto, Canada
    SERVING THE SPIRITS: THE PAN-CARIBBEAN AFRICAN-DERIVED RELIGION IN NALO HOPKINSON’S BROWN GIRL IN THE RING MONICA COLEMAN Set in the Caribbean-Canadian community of Toronto, Canada, Nalo Hopkinson’s Brown Girl in the Ring reflects the unique ethnic and national identities of the Caribbean diaspora. Both literary scholars and Hopkinson herself note the ways in which Hopkinson uses language to identify both the different national distinctions within the Caribbean immigrant community and the relationship that the Caribbean community has to the larger Canadian society. However, it is through her description of “serving the spirits” that Brown Girl describes a pan-Caribbean identity within the Caribbean diaspora of Toronto. In the concept of “serving the spirits,” Hopkinson draws together various African-derived religious traditions found throughout the Caribbean into one religious practice. By dissolving the boundaries in religious practices, “serving the spirits” functions as the basis for a unique pan- Caribbean identity for the characters of Brown Girl. Brown Girl in the Ring is set in the future decaying inner city left when Toronto’s economic base collapses. The city center is inhabited only by the formerly homeless and poor, now squatters, and is ruled by drug lord Rudy and his posse. The protagonist, a young Caribbean-Canadian female named Ti-Jeanne, lives with her grandmother, who runs a business in herbal medicine that has become vital to the disenfranchised of the Burn. Ti-Jeanne’s grandmother, Mami Gros-Jeanne, is a faithful follower of the spirits. Ti-Jeanne, on the other hand, believes that the herbal medicine and African-derived spirituality of her grandmother should have no role in the lives of sane and practical people.

  • Features of Caribbean Culture in the Work of Caribbean Writers in the Diaspora
    Features of Caribbean culture in the work of Caribbean writers in the diaspora. ABSTRACT Writers of Caribbean ancestry who live outside of the region are usually described as having dual allegiance (~aribbean/~rnericanfor example). This is eminently justifiable since there is usually a recognizable Caribbean flavour to the writing. This paper tries to identify the features of Caribbean culture incorporated in three texts (Paule Marshallfs Praise Song for the Widow, Kwadwo Kamaufs Flickering Shadows, Nalo Hopkinsonfs Brown Girl in the Ring) and to comment on how these features are manipulated and with what effect. Some coment on the relative strength of cultural features should be possible as a result of the exercise. Velma Pollard Dept. of Educational Studies Univ of the West Indies Mona, Kgn .7, Jamaica May 1999 Features of Caribbean culture in the work of some Caribbean writers in the diaspora The influence of the dead on the lives of the living is taken for granted in many Caribbean communities. Command performances of ritual Kumina in Jamaica, Shango in Trinidad the Dugu in Belie are examples that come to mind. Ancestor related phenomena and practices associated with them are fascinating aspects of Caribbean culture if their popularity in the creative output of the region is anything to go by. In the real situation, belief systems that incorporate ritual associated with the spirits of the dead tend to be regarded as African and so as part of the environment in which the poorer and less educated classes of the society live. Eurocentic education and mores have ensured that this attitude towards them remains entrenched.

  • Bookkeeping: Discourses of Debt in Caribbean Canadian Literature By
    Bookkeeping: Discourses of Debt in Caribbean Canadian Literature by Lisa Camille van der Marel A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Department of English and Film Studies University of Alberta © Lisa Camille van der Marel, 2018 ABSTRACT This thesis examines representations of debt and obligation in works of Caribbean Canadian literature published between 1997 and 2007. It uses these representations to discuss the relationship between postcolonial, global, and diasporic approaches to cultural studies. These disciplinary distinctions draw explicit and implicit divisions between the colonial, the postcolonial, and the transnational as discrete historical moments in a teleologic progression. Against such divisions, literary works by David Chariandy, Ramabai Espinet, Dionne Brand, and Nalo Hopkinson suggest that colonial pasts do not remain in the past but continue to overdetermine the ‘transnational’ present. Intriguingly, each of these authors uses the language of debt and obligation to describe these temporal and geographical entanglements. This thesis draws on new economic criticism, memory studies, theories of recognition, treaty citizenship, and Afro-pessimism to argue firstly that Caribbean Canadian literature’s representations of debt refute emerging neo-Marxist theories of debt’s governmentality offered in response to the 2008 global financial crisis, and secondly, that they expose diaspora studies’ underlying valuation of individual autonomy and possessive individualism. By representing colonial pasts as outstanding and unpayable debts, fictional and nonfictional works dispute the seemingly clean breaks contemporary scholarship and political debates can draw between colonial pasts and transnational futures. Debt, at its simplest, is any exchange not brought to completion; Canada’s present is a space of incomplete—and incompletable—cultural, economic, and intellectual exchanges.

  • The Soucouyant by Giselle Anatol, University of Kansas English Professor
    The Soucouyant By Giselle Anatol, University of Kansas English Professor Originally Aired 10/15/2020 I grew up in suburban New Jersey, but my dreams were haunted by the soucouyant. According to the stories shared by my Trinidadian aunts, mother, and grandmothers, the soucouyant seemed to be an ordinary old woman by day. Each night, however, she shed her skin, transformed herself into a ball of fire, flew about the community, and sucked the blood of her unsuspecting neighbors. Afterward, she would return home and slip back into her skin; the repeated practice often made her human form unusually wrinkled. She would not be able to re-don her outer covering, however, if someone had discovered its secret hiding place and salted or peppered it; this would cause the soucouyant to perish in a frenzy of itching and burning, or her screams would reveal her identity to the rest of the community. The soucouyant could also be destroyed by scattering salt or rice on the doorsteps and windowsills of one’s house: the creature might be able to enter the premises to satisfy her bloodlust, but she was obligated to count each grain before leaving. At dawn, if neighbors caught her in the midst of her task, they would beat her to death or drop her into a vat of boiling tar or oil; some storytellers alleged that the rising sun would destroy the skinless incarnation of the creature. In any case, the phrase “soucouyant gon’ come for you” has chilled the blood of Trinidadian children for generations—and not just those who misbehaved: anyone’s blood could lure the soucouyant into their home.

The year 2009 marked a shift in design application, with pockets of students using graphic design as a catalyst to develop products that are potentially marketable. The current economic climate has made it harder for students to be employed in agencies and studios. One would anticipate that they would follow through in creating new spaces for themselves as designers, i.e. developing products as viable sources of income in a struggling economy, but sadly most do not.
