Out of this world: The lunar imaginaries of cinéma-monde
This article investigates the ways in which cinéma-monde imagines itself “universally” by examining how it portrays its relation to the cosmos, the universe beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. Analyzing Yamina Bachir-Chouikh’s 2002 Rachida, Jean-Pierre Bekolo’s 2005 Les saignantes, and Jean-Marc Vallée’s 2005 C.R.A.Z.Y., this article asks how a consideration of cinéma-monde’s perspective on outer space might allow us to conceive of the “kaleidoscope o…
Griffus ou non griffus: Naming, baptism, and global racialized capitalism in Césaire's La tragédie du roi Christophe
This article extends scholarly analysis of race in imperial capitalism by examining the naming and baptism of formerly enslaved Black people in Aimé Césaire’s 1963 La tragédie du roi Christophe. King Christophe, the protagonist, attempts to give his people a foothold in a world system based on their exploitation by giving names – or griffes (meaning both “claws” and “signatures”) – to his aristocracy in order to bind them and their land to him. T…
Writing, Immigration, and Sex in Dany Laferrière and Kim Thúy
Québécois immigrant writers Dany Laferrière’s and Kim Thúy’s first novels, Comment faire l’amour avec un nègre sans se fatiguer (1985) and Ru (2009), both thematize the process of coming-to-writing and autofiction in parallel with the tropes of the sexualization of the nonwhite “other” in a global (post)colonial context. This article examines Laferrière’s and Thúy’s starkly different novels to begin to account for the connection between the act o…
Siting images, citing worlds: Nouri Bouzid's Bent familia and the Quebec connection
This paper examines two images from 1970s Québécois culture that appear fleetingly in Nouri Bouzid’s 1997 drama Bent familia, analyzing the ways they inform the film’s off-screen referential space. By complicating the film’s otherwise straightforward “spectrum of geographical liberties” structured along old colonial lines, Quebec troubles the ostensible hierarchy separating France (and the West more generally) from its former colonies. Harking ba…
Césaire/Lumumba: A Season of Solidarity
In February 1961, Patrice Lumumba, first prime minister of the independent Congo, was assassinated. This article analyzes the play written five years later by Martinican politician and poet Aimé Césaire about Lumumba’s short political life and sudden death, focusing on the ways in which Césaire recuperated the figure of Lumumba from hostile discourse and transformed him into a martyr, a “poet of action”. Césaire’s gesture, the article argues, is …
