Obsah:
- <p>Abstract: Maryse Conde’s novel Windward Heights, a rewriting of<br>Wuthering Heights, transports the colonial text from its cold Yorkshire<br>environs to the warm clime of the Antilles. This spatial/temporal<br>transposition is just the first of many, as Conde changes the dynamics<br>of the source text to reveal the exigencies that face a society in the<br>slipstream of abolition. When Heathcliff is described as “a dark-skinned<br>gypsy in aspect”, he is instantly positioned as a racial other, and<br>eventually emerges as a kind of anti-hero. The present paper focuses on<br>this depiction of Heathcliff as a starting point, then makes a study of the<br>contrastive nature of both texts, foregrounding the race/class contrariety<br>in Windward Heights, examines the similitude/difference of structure<br>through a close reading of the texts, and also interrogates the filiations<br>of the worldview in the narrative as it coheres and/or splits from the<br>theorizations of Bakhtin and Glissant.</p>
