Intersections of memory and sustainability in the Caribbean cyberpunk imagination
Memory and sustainability in the Caribbean share common concerns with justice making and reparation, with human and environmental wrongdoing being inseparable since the early sixteenth century. In recent decades, Hispanic Caribbean literatures have challenged the anthropocentric readings of time, space, nature, and matter, offering new stories to speculate on the meaning of reparation from the perspective of environmental futurity. In Erick Mota’…
System of Systems
This article discusses System of Systems ( Viala/Manicom 2023 ), a 22-minute visual narrative which I co-created with video artist Jean François Manicom. It experiments with strategies for telling time speculatively, with the aim of inviting the audience to experience the continuity and reality of deep time while inhabiting an endangered planet. I chose to move away from both the traditional methodology of the academic essay, and from that of the…

Times and plots varied in the Hispanic, French, and English Caribbean, and on each island, the people’s and the state’s versions of the meaning of collective memory often disagree. In this study, my goal has been to examine comparati…
Columbus The Memorious
T his chapter examines the representations of Columbus’s journeys and colonization of the Caribbean region in Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic, during the commemorations of the 500th anniversary of his arrival in1992. Its title, which alludes to Borges’s well-known text Funes The Memorious , references the hyper-commemorative nature of the Hispanic Caribbean societies, which intensified during the quincentenary commemoration. The eve…
Peinture de l’Histoire dans El siglo de las luces d’Alejo Carpentier
Pour réécrire une page méconnue de l’histoire antillaise et pour lui donner un relief retentissant, Alejo Carpentier revisite certains modèles esthétiques de la peinture européenne. À une question épineuse de l’histoire caribéenne – que se passe-t-il quand on exporte la révolution de 1789 dans les colonies ? – le romancier répond par la transposition stylistique d’un modèle pictural. Certains épisodes clés du roman sont écrits et construits à la …
