| contents | Latitude and Longitude of the Past: Place, Negritude and French Caribbean Identity in Aimé Césaire's Poetry Vincent Clément Estudios Culturales Césaire slavery identity Caribbean colonialism Césaire is one of the greatest French poets of the 20th century and his oeuvre has been studied by many scholars in its slightest recesses. Inwhat way could a geographic analysis lead to a better understanding of Césaire's poetry and his process of identity-making? Actually, the geographic dimension of his writings has not really been analyzed, though it is one of the main backdrops of his poetry. Césaire invents his own geography of imagination as he claims it. What are the frames of hismap of the word for personal use? Césaire's purpose is to find again his latitude and longitude lost in the wake of the slave ships. To exist, an uprooted person, as Césaire was, has to write a new relationship with the Earth according to the philosophy of geography developed by Eric Dardel. The author of this paper analyzes the influence of Césaire's poetry and his vision of the world in the process of identity-making. Césaire's poetry is first a personal revolt against colonial domination. But thanks to the strength of his writings, he overcame his inner woundto build a new Caribbean identity. 2011 artículo científico 0008-6533 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=39222778006 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=392 Caribbean Studies application/pdf Universidad de Puerto Rico Caribbean Studies (Puerto Rico) Num.1-2 Vol.39 |
