Paradoxes of particularity: Caribbean literary imaginaries【翻译】

ABSTRACT
―Paradoxes of Particularity: Caribbean Literary Imaginaries,‖ explores Caribbean
literary responses to nationalism by focusing on Anglophone and Francophone post-war
Caribbean novels as well as a selection of short fiction published in the 1930s and ‗40s.
Because many Caribbean nations gained their independence relatively recently (Jamaica
and Trinidad in the 1960s, the Bahamas, Grenada, Dominica, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent
in the ‗70s, Antigua and St. Kitts in the ‗80s) and because some remain colonial
possessions (Aruba, Martinique, Guadeloupe, etc.), nationalism and its alternatives are of
major literary concern to Caribbean authors. This project considers how and to what
extent the writings of such authors as Edouard Glissant, Maryse Condé, and Robert
Antoni counter nationalist tendencies with Pan-Caribbean alternatives, arguing that the
Caribbean texts under examination propose that we view the Caribbean as a unified
region despite substantial differences (racial, linguistic, colonial, etc.) that otherwise tend
to encourage separate, nationalist sentiments. Moreover, these Caribbean texts
paradoxically emphasize discrete identities based on racial pasts and language
communities, even as they forward a Pan-Caribbean ideology: uniqueness is, for many
Caribbean writers, the fundamental basis for a unified sense of ―Caribbeanness.‖ This
project dubs the phenomenon the ―paradox of particularity,‖ and identifies it as a
postcolonial rhetorical strategy in twentieth-century Caribbean fiction.
