Re/Assembling the Imaginary
Since the 1970s, Haiti’s zòn franch (dislocated sites where garments are assembled and processed for export to the North), have reconstructed bonds of coloniality through structural violence. Despite over two hundred years of Haitian independence from French colonial rule, and over 80 years since the US occupation of Haiti, these “ports,” exempt from tax and duties, are often viewed locally as self-contained non-independent islands that reproduce…
Straw craft, imperial education and ethnographic exhibitions as tightly braided sites of gender production in Haiti and Curaçao
Woven straw work produced in the Caribbean in the early twentieth century represented a small but sustainable percentage of the region's exports. Following the US occupation in Haiti (1915-1934), handicrafts were promoted as economic 'development': commodified folklore fashioned for the delight of visiting tourists. Up until 1946 in Curaçao, as a strategy of the Catholic church's civilising mission, young women trained to plait the so-called 'Pan…

This article explores the Orientalist dynamics of North/South sexual tourism in Laurent Cantet’s Vers le sud/Heading South (2005). The narrative of the film is structured around the self-interested motivations of three white middle-aged bourgeois Western women who travel from North America to Haiti in the late 1970s in order to explore their sexuality in what they perceive as an island paradise, effectively exiling themselves from the codified so…

Marie Vieux Chauvet's Theatres bridges scholarly engagement with Chauvet's performance oeuvre and the creative adaptation and translation work undertaken by academics.Writing in the turbulent mid-twentieth century in Haiti, Chauvet's theatre and prose, like the author herself, was made invisible, remaining for decades out of print, untranslated, and neglected by many.As Gina Athena Ulysses puts it, this inspirational project "does the digging" (p…
Stitching Time
The promotion of the textile and garment industries as a development strategy following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti and a US-backed return to garment assembly lines has prompted an interrogation of some of the local impacts of transnational manufacturing practices in this context. This essay seeks to evaluate alternative fashion practices and social enterprises in Haiti that are currently challenging and disassembling the contemporary forms of s…
