Reimagining Haiti: Decolonial Visions

29 Apr

Date: Monday 29 April 2024
Time: 11:30 - 13:00
Categories: Staff workshops and seminars
Venue: Online (Zoom link to be emailed to registered attendees)
Speaker: Dr Rachel Douglas, University of Glasgow

Rewriting or rasanblaj (gathering/re-assembling in Haitian Kreyòl) is a fundamental process at the heart of Haitian-style culture and rebuilding. The book on which this talk is based reorients Haitian studies around rasanblaj, testing its value as a methodological tool for interpreting Haitian culture and other cultures of the Global South. Rewriting in postcolonial contexts is often viewed as ‘writing back’ to metropolitan literary classics; here we turn instead to Haitians’ self-rewriting.
