22. Et maintenant, j'ai la triste tache de vous annoncer qu'après un peu plus que 4 ans d'existence, <i>Tande </i>ne pourra plus vous accompagner dans vos lectures et autres explorations de la culture haïtienne. Du moins pour le moment. Vous avez sans doute remarqué que nous n'alimentons plus le site de façon régulière. En fait, avec nos nouvelles responsabilités, le temps nous fait cruellement défaut. Nous espérons pouvoir reprendre nos activités ici un jour, mais on ne peut pas vous dire quand. Ce qui est sur, c'est que vous continuerez d'avoir de nos nouvelles, dans les conférences et <a href="http://www.umb.edu/haitianstudies/conference" target="_blank">colloques</a>, vente-signatures et autres activités culturelles. J'espère que vous lirez <a href="http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2979/transition.111.53?uid=2&uid=4&sid=21104072437717" target="_blank">nos articles</a> et <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Conflict-Bodies-Representation-Francophone-Transoceanic/dp/0814212468/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401109814&sr=8-1&keywords=conflict+bodies" target="_blank">nos livres</a>. Pour le moment, nous vous laissons les archives du site et souhaitons que vous resterez toujours à l'écoute de la culture haïtienne. Ce fut un immense plaisir.</div>

28. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times; font-size: 16px;">As Nadève mentioned in</span><a href="http://www.tandenou2.blogspot.com/2014/03/luminous-research.html" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: #196ad4; font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" target="_blank"> her last post</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times; font-size: 16px;">, things have been very slow here at Tande of late. We wanted to take the time to do something new and appreciate our readers who have been patient during this time as we adjust to new work  and </span><a href="http://www.tandenou2.blogspot.com/2013/12/du-nom-des-enfants.html" id="yui_3_13_0_1_1398956374185_2516" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: #196ad4; font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" target="_blank"> family schedules</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times; font-size: 16px;">. In fact, we appreciate you so much that we wanted to express our gratitude with a reader giveaway contest! Here is how it works: write in and tell us in the comment section what your favorite Tande post is</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times; font-size: 16px;">and why.

That way you will have an important piece of this rich archive of information about Haitian culture, literature, history and scholarship at your fingertips without even having to go online! The issue is dedicated to Michel-Rolph Trouillot, and guest edited by Nadève. </span></div>

41. Comme Nadève a mentionné dans <a href="http://www.tandenou2.blogspot.com/2014/03/luminous-research.html" target="_blank">son dernier texte</a>, on fonctionne au ralenti ici à Tande ces derniers mois. Nous voudrions faire quelque chose de nouveau pour montrer notre appréciation à nos lecteurs qui ont fait preuve de patience pendant ce moment d'ajustement à de <a href="http://www.tandenou2.blogspot.com/2013/12/du-nom-des-enfants.html" target="_blank">nouvelles responsabilités familiales</a> et professionnelles. Nous vous apprécions tellement que nous voulons exprimer notre gratitude avec un concours! Voila comment cela marche: Dans les commentaires, dites nous quel est votre préféré parmi les textes du site et pourquoi. Nous allons sélectionner un gagnant le 10 mai<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>et comme prix vous allez obtenir le nouveau numéro de l'illustre <a href="http://www.research.ucsb.edu/cbs/publications/johs/" target="_blank">revue d'études haïtiennes (JOHS)</a> gratuitement. Ainsi, vous aurez des informations sur la culture, la littérature, et l'histoire haïtienne, à portée de main! Ce numéro est dédié à la mémoire de Michel-Rolph Trouillot et a été édité par Nadève. </div>

55. Kòm Nadève mensyone nan <a href="http://www.tandenou2.blogspot.com/2014/03/luminous-research.html" target="_blank">dènye tèks li a</a>, sèjousi, pa gen twòp aktivite sou sit Tande a. Nou deside fè yon jès pou montre apresyasyon nou pou lektè nou yo ki genyen anpil pasyans ak nou pandan nap abitye ak nouvo orè travay ak <a href="http://www.tandenou2.blogspot.com/2013/12/du-nom-des-enfants.html" target="_blank">nouvo orè fanmi nou</a>. Nou si tèlman apresye nou, nou vle eksprime gratitid nou avèk yon konkou! Men ki jan li fonksyone:  nan  seksyon kòmantè sit la, di nou ki tèks Tande nou pi renmen epi eksplike poukisa. 10 me<span style="font-weight: bold;">,</span> n ap chwazi yon moun k ap resevwa dènye nimewo <a href="http://www.research.ucsb.edu/cbs/publications/johs/" target="_blank">revi etid ayisyen an (JOHS) </a>kòm kado. Konsa, w ap genyen anpil enfòmasyon sou kilti, literati ak istwa ayisyen nan men ou! Nimewo sa a rann omaj bay Michel-Rolp Trouillot epi se Nadève ki edite l. </div>

We do try to keep the <a href="http://www.tandenou2.blogspot.com/p/calendarcalendrierkalandriye.html" target="_blank">Calendar</a> and <a href="http://www.tandenou2.blogspot.com/p/anonsappel-contributioncall-for-papers.html" target="_blank">Announcements</a> pages updated, even when we're unable to post on the main page. You can thank two of our regular readers, Marc Ruben Claude (a former student of mine at ENS) and Chris Celius of <a href="http://rapadoo.com/" target="_blank">Rapadoo</a> for nudging me to post something today.<br />
65. <br />
66. Chris asked about another<a href="http://www.tandenou2.blogspot.com/2012/02/power-of-metaphor.html" target="_blank"> carnival </a>post, but I never really got into carnival mode this year, although I did enjoy several of the songs. It turns out that decentralizing carnival really means centralizing it in a city other than Port-au-Prince every year, with the bands not chosen to participate in the national parade unable to perform in the capital during the three days of carnival. So, we get the days off, but not the party to go with it. Unless you count the <a href="http://lenouvelliste.com/lenouvelliste/article/127889/Carnaval-ou-non-telle-est-la-question.html" target="_blank">carnival festivities held before the three official Fat days</a>. The mayor of Delmas, where I live, announced on the morning of Friday, February 21st that all schools had to close at noon so that he could hold his carnival parade. I won't even attempt to describe the madness of parents scrambling to pick up kids who had been scheduled to be released later that afternoon. Nor will I attempt to describe the <a href="http://lenouvelliste.com/lenouvelliste/article/127940/La-bevue-de-Wilson-Jeudy.html" target="_blank">incredible traffic</a> caused by this parade. As in previous years, <a href="http://lenouvelliste.com/lenouvelliste/article/128014/Le-RNDDH-ecrit-a-la-ministre-de-la-Culture.html" target="_blank">certain groups were banned from performing their songs live altogether</a>, even when they were able to secure private sponsors. So, all in all, I've resigned myself to a carnival hiatus for a <a href="http://lenouvelliste.com/lenouvelliste/article/128143/Le-carnaval-au-temps-de-Martelly.html" target="_blank">few years</a>.<br />
67. <br />
68. What I have been focusing on is research. And, let me say in passing that it would be fantastic to see more research on carnival. There's been talk about establishing a carnival museum to preserve the art created each year, but I would also love to see in-depth research on Haitian carnival: the music, the politics, the economics, the history. This research is sorely needed since there seems to be some <a href="http://lenouvelliste.com/lenouvelliste/article/127332/17-groupes-musicaux-aux-Gonaives.html" target="_blank">confusion as to what the purpose of carnival is</a>.Or at least what we want or need it to be.<br />
69. <br />
70. I've read several articles recently about the necessity or applicability of humanities scholarship to the "real world". Newspapers, magazines and blogs debate whether or not the huanities are necessary, whether or not they matter. (I'm not including any links here because there are too many to choose from!) I have to say I've never really considered that question as a researcher. It just seems obvious to me that the ways in which we represent ourselves, our history, our culture has a concrete impact on our concrete lives and the society we live in.<br />
71. <br />
72. I recently participated in the launch of <a href="http://islandluminous.fiu.edu/" target="_blank">Haiti: An Island Luminous</a>,
73. brainchild of <a href="http://news.fiu.edu/2014/02/graduate-student-creates-online-history-exhibit-of-haiti/74912" target="_blank">Adam Silvia</a>. I have loved the <a href="http://dloc.com/" target="_blank">Digital Library of the Caribbean</a> for a long time. It is a godsend for those of us scholars without regular access to research libraries. An Island Luminous is a curated online exhibit that helps put the myriad of texts to be found on dloc into context. I provided an entry on <a href="http://islandluminous.fiu.edu/learn.html" target="_blank">occupied novels</a>. Over one hundred scholars from around the world participated in this remarkable project.<br />
74. <br />
75. And to continue with the topic of collaborative research -- <i><a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/Catalog/ProductList.php?viewby=series&id=57" target="_blank">The Haiti Reader</a></i> is still an ongoing project. I need to move it into the foreground this semester now that the special issue of <i><a href="http://www.research.ucsb.edu/cbs/publications/johs/" target="_blank">Journal of Haitian Studies</a></i> dedicated to Rolph Trouillot that I was guest editing is more or less done. While I do think web materials are wonderful for all sorts of reasons, I have a special love in my heart for paper books. And I do think this book, the Reader, will serve a purpose, for scholars and everyday readers alike. All of us who are dedicated to Haiti and its culture complain, and rightfully so!, when that culture is maligned or falsely portrayed. But we need to be able to have reliable sources to provide as alternatives. I think The <i>Haiti Reader</i> will be one of those sources for many people.<br />
76. <br />
77. Although I value collaborative research efforts, I am also happy to see the increased emergence of individual research projects in Haiti. So many outstanding Haitian
78. researchers have never published book-length works or only a handful of articles.
79. While I absolutely do not condone the blind adoption of foreign professional practices – no desire
80. to see publish or perish implemented here, thank you very much! -- I am concerned about legacy and heritage.
81. While our oral scholarship tradition is alive and well, that scholarship needs to be preserved. How will
82. future generations access the ideas developed by their elders otherwise? There needs to be sustained
83. support for research at the university level. We are not there yet, but hopefully we'll get there eventually. I would love to see a research library developed here. Until there is, websites like dloc help fill the gaps. And I just discovered this <a href="http://www.openculture.com/2014/01/read-700-free-ebooks-made-available-by-the-university-of-california-press.html" target="_blank">one </a>that some of you might already be familiar with.<br />
84. <br />
85. This is all to say when we're not posting here on Tande, you can bet we are busy with our research or presenting its results.  Régine's book <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Conflict-Bodies-Representation-Francophone-Transoceanic/dp/0814212468/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=1-1&qid=1394156300" target="_blank">Conflict Bodies: The Politics of Rape Representation in The Francophone Imaginary</a></i> is currently available for pre-order. I have articles forthcoming in <i><a href="http://lenouvelliste.com/lenouvelliste/article/109065/La-litterature-haitienne-retourne-a-son-Demanbre.html" target="_blank">Demanbre</a></i> and <i><a href="http://smallaxe.net/" target="_blank">Small Axe</a></i> this year, as well as the actes de colloque from last year's conference dedicated to <a href="http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/ile.en.ile/paroles/castera.html" target="_blank">Georges Castera</a>. This is all in addition to the various speaking engagements we both have, although one of us is currently on maternity leave!</div>
86. <div class="MsoNormal">
87. <br /></div>
88. Now that carnival is over, I leave you with this poem by <a href="http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/ile.en.ile/paroles/roumain.html" target="_blank">Jacques Roumain</a> which served as the inspiration for the title of Haiti: An Island Luminous.<br />

Rankont sa a ki te fèt nan Karibe apati 7 pou rive 9 novanm se te okazyon pou moun k ap travay sou Ayiti nan inivèsite ak lòt enstitisyon toupatou rankontre pou yo pataje lide yo. Se<a href="http://www.africultures.com/php/?nav=personne&no=3246" target="_blank"> Raoul Peck</a> ki te envite spesyal kolòk la ane sa a. Tit diskou l la se te <i>Stolen Images</i>. Peck te pale sou jan li enpòtan pou Ayisyen pwodui pwòp imaj pa nou, pou nou pa gade tèt nou selon jan lòt moun wè nou. Plizyè prezantasyon te fè lide sa a parèt pandan wikenn lan, kit se te nan domenn literati, kit se te nan domenn istwa oswa antropoloji. </div>

568. Se ak anpil plezi mwen aprann <a href="https://www.facebook.com/morelvagencefrancepressegettyimages?ref=br_tf" target="_blank">Daniel Morel genyen pwosè li te fè kont Agence France Press ak Getty Images</a>. Pwosè sa a montre jan Ayisyen kapab pwodui pwòp imaj pa nou epi goumen pou kenbe kontròl imaj sa yo, menm lè se kont enstitisyon ki gen anpil pouvwa. </div>

572. Pou m tounen sou<a href="http://www.jfrphotography.com/Haitian-Studies-Association" target="_blank"> kolòk la</a>, te gen anpil panèl ki te anrapò ak sijè daktyalite. Nou kapab site tout panèl ki te fèt sou relasyon ant Ayiti ak Repiblik Dominikèn. Mwen regrèt mwen pa t gen chans suiv tout. <a href="http://www.sv.uio.no/sai/english/people/aca/kimberlw/" target="_blank">Kimberly Wynne</a> ak <a href="http://www.as.miami.edu/history/graduate/gradstudents" target="_blank">Amelia Hintzen</a> te prezante travay sou kominote Ayisyen kap viv nan batèy fig ak sik nan Dominikani. Rechèch yo te fè sòti jan kondisyon lavi ak travay yo pa menm pou tout travayè, selon konbyen tan yo gen nan peyi a, rejyon kote yo etabli a ak anpil lòt faktè ankò.</div>

Semenn sa a nou pral kòmanse travay sou woman René Philoctète la, <i><a href="http://philmorbraz.blogspot.com/2010/02/le-peuple-des-terres-melees-de-rene.html" target="_blank">Le Peuple des Terres Mêlées</a></i>. (Se youn nan tit liv mwen twouve ki pi bèl nan tout sa m konnen yo.) Lide solidarite liv sa a eksprime a toujou rete enpòtan, menm lè <a href="http://thepublicarchive.com/?p=4005" target="_blank">leta dominiken an ak kèk sektè nan sosyete a pito kreye divizyon ak konfli</a>. Erèzman yo pa pale pou tout pèp dominiken an.  Gwoup k ap òganize aktivite <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/667226929984276/?source=1" target="_blank">Abrazo Solidario</a> a vle montre gen yon pati nan popilasyon ki chwazi pataj, kominote, solidarite -- imanite. </div>

606. <div style="text-align: justify;">
607. Croyez-moi si vous voulez, mais je travaille sur ce texte depuis au moins un an. J'essayais de clarifier mes idées sur le sujet -- en fait, je cherchais des réponses. Je me suis finalement rendue compte que je n'en ai pas. En tant que lectrice, professeur et critique, j'ai plutôt des questions par rapport à la publication en Haiti. Et c'est peut-être tant mieux. J'aurais ainsi moins d'occasions de me tromper et la discussion sera plus riche dans les commentaires. </div>
608. <div style="text-align: justify;">
609. <br /></div>
610. <div style="text-align: justify;">
611. J'ai d'abord pensé à écrire sur <a href="http://www.lematinhaiti.com/contenu.php?idtexte=33813&idtypetexte=" target="_blank">les modes de publication et de circulation de textes</a> ici parce que cela m'arrive parfois de recevoir des livres publiés par de nouveaux auteurs -- le plus souvent jeunes -- même si beaucoup n'apprécient pas le terme. Je dois avouer que souvent je ne sais pas comment réagir face à ces livres. Il y a bien sur de la gratitude. J'apprécie le fait qu'on ait pensé à me faire un cadeau, parce que personne ne me doit des livres. Je suis aussi sensible au fait qu'on respecte mon opinion en tant que lectrice et critique. Mais je ressens aussi un certain gêne par rapport à ces livres donnés, justement parce qu'en tant que critique et quelqu'un qui côtoie les écrivains au quotidien, je sais ce que cela représente de produire un livre. Le travail exigé, les émotions suscitées. Et j'ai peur de ne pas être séduite par le texte, car il n'est quand même pas poli de dire à quelqu'un qu'on n'a pas aimé le cadeau offert. Il n'est surtout jamais aisé de dire à un écrivain qu'on n'a pas aimé son livre. C'est pour cette raison que je suis beaucoup plus à l'aise à recevoir et à lire des manuscrits. Quand on commente un manuscrit, l'auteur a la possibilité d'en tenir compte dans ses éventuelles modifications. </div>
612. <div style="text-align: justify;">
613. <br /></div>
614. <div style="text-align: justify;">
615. Les livres que je reçois sont le plus souvent publiés à compte d'auteur et le plus souvent par des personnes au tout début de la vingtaine. Pourquoi ces précisions? Parce que souvent en lisant les textes reçus, je m'interroge sur cette hâte de publier. Je me pose la question non pas parce que ces livres sont mauvais -- le plus souvent ils ne le sont pas du tout. Par contre, ils me donnent souvent l'impression d’être inachevés. Je pense aux potentialités non-réalisées en les lisant. Il y a parfois des problèmes de cohérence narrative, des erreurs grammaticales, des problèmes d'impression ou de présentation qui me font penser que l'auteur et son livre auraient été mieux servi par un peu plus de temps, de travail de correction et <a href="http://www.lematinhaiti.com/contenu.php?idtexte=35984&idtypetexte=" target="_blank">une structure éditoriale sérieuse</a>. (Je dois signaler que ce ne sont pas des problèmes spécifiques à Haiti, mais c'est de la littérature haïtienne qu'il est question sur ce site.)</div>
616. <div style="text-align: justify;">
617. <br /></div>

619. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cZ9QTFZE3sE/Ukt9hlb6wuI/AAAAAAAAAfI/hLkkywaMSwg/s1600/rapjazz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cZ9QTFZE3sE/Ukt9hlb6wuI/AAAAAAAAAfI/hLkkywaMSwg/s1600/rapjazz.jpg" /></a>Je reconnais cependant qu'il existe en Haiti une grande tradition de publication à compte d'auteur. Sans laquelle nous n'aurions pas des textes aussi beaux et variés que  <i><a href="http://dloc.com/UF00095311/00001" target="_blank">Ecrit sur du ruban rose</a></i> ou <i><a href="http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/ile.en.ile/paroles/philoctete.html" target="_blank">Saison des hommes</a></i> ou encore <i>Rapjazz</i>. Mais la dégradation du système éducatif haïtien aidant, peu sont les écrivains aujourd'hui qui ne bénéficieraient pas d'une relecture professionnelle. </div>
620. <br />
621. <div style="text-align: justify;">
622. Je m'interroge aussi sur cette hâte de publier. Est-ce le temps qui presse? A-t-on peur de n'avoir plus le temps de se consacrer à l'écriture plus tard? Est-ce une façon de s'imposer à la société? <a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=107864" target="_blank">De se faire une renommé le plus tôt que possible?</a> Je ne comprends pas cette pulsion d'arracher les pages de l'imprimante pour les apporter tout de suite à la librairie. J'aurais tendance à suivre de préférence le conseil donné par Zadie Smith: <a href="http://irmadriessen.nl/publicaties/that-crafty-feeling-zadie-smith/" target="_blank">laisser son texte mijoter dans un tiroir</a> aussi longtemps que possible avant de le publier. Mais puisque j'avais bien dit que j'avais des questions et non pas de réponses: Comment réconcilier l'idée de retarder la publication avec le parcours des auteurs comme <a href="http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/ile.en.ile/paroles/lherisson.html" target="_blank">Justin Lhérisson </a>ou <a href="http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/ile.en.ile/paroles/roumain.html" target="_blank">Jacques Roumain</a> qui sont morts assez jeunes? On peut s'estimer chanceux qu'ils n'aient pas trop attendu avant de publier leurs écrits!  </div>
623. <div style="text-align: justify;">
624. <br /></div>
625. <div style="text-align: justify;">
626. Je pense que pour certains cette passion pour l'écriture, cet engouement pour la chose littéraire pourraient trouver une plus juste expression dans les ateliers d'écriture ou les clubs de lecture. Des espaces où l'auteur pourrait recevoir des réactions, des commentaires constructifs sur ce qu'il produit. D'ailleurs, <a href="http://lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=112698" target="_blank">l'ENARTS </a>pourrait peut-être offrir une formation en écriture comme une filière parmi les autres. Pourquoi pas des ateliers d'écriture formels débouchant non seulement sur un diplôme, mais sur un projet d'écriture fini? </div>

633. <div style="text-align: justify;">
634. Il faut aussi encourager la publication dans les revues littéraires et je suis heureuse de constater un renouveau en ce sens ces derniers temps avec l'apparition de <i><a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=108948" target="_blank">Demanbre</a></i>, <i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/passagersdesvents" target="_blank">IntranQu'îllités</a></i>, <i>Legs et Littérature</i>...

635. <div style="text-align: justify;">
636. <br /></div>
637. <div style="text-align: justify;">
638. On pourrait peut-être me reprocher d’être trop prudente par rapport à la publication. C'est qu'en tant que professeur et critique littéraire, je suis extrêmement consciente du fait que les écrits demeurent. Un livre publié aujourd'hui sera probablement -- on le souhaite! -- toujours disponible dans une cinquantaine ou une centaine d'années, même s'il ne s'agit que d'une poignée d'exemplaires. L'auteur est-il prêt à jouer sa réputation -- actuelle et future -- sur ce livre publié avec tant d'empressement? Le premier livre n'est pas forcément le dernier. On n'est obligé de tout y mettre. Mais il se peut aussi que la vraie question soit celle de la réception. Le lectorat est-il en mesure de faire le tri parmi tous les livres publiés?</div>
639. <div style="text-align: justify;">
640. <br /></div>
641. <div style="text-align: justify;">
642. La publication à compte d'auteur, surtout au début d'une carrière littéraire comporte des avantages et des désavantages. L'écrivain doit faire preuve d'arrogance pour s'imposer, mais aussi d'humilité face aux critiques.  </div>

A couple of days ago I finished reading &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Americanah-ebook/dp/B00A9ET4MC/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1375303519&amp;amp;sr=1-1&amp;amp;keywords=americanah&quot;&gt;Americanah&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. I really enjoyed it and it got me thinking about how good it feels to find a book that you can really fall into, whether as an escape or to expand your knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;
1115. <br />
1116. Books have always had a special place here at <i>Tande</i>. A couple of years ago, we even had a <a href="http://tandenou2.blogspot.com/2011/08/musings-on-choosing.html">debate about translation</a>, about making works available to Haitian Americans and others who might not be able to read them in the original. So, I thought I'd draw up a quick list. I hope that you'll find the same joy and excitement reading them that I did with <a href="http://www.l3.ulg.ac.be/adichie/">Adichie</a>'s latest.<br />

1121. Jacques Roumain's <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Masters-Dew-Jacques-Roumain/dp/0435987453/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375296368&sr=8-1&keywords=masters+of+the+dew">Masters of the Dew</a>.</i><br />

Although I don't know if the Philoctète, first published in 1989 qualifies as a classic yet. What's the timeframe on that? Oh, and let's add René Depestre's  <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Festival-Greasy-Pole-CARAF-Books/dp/0813912822/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1375298634&sr=1-6&keywords=ren%C3%A9+depestre">The Festival of the Greasy Pole</a></i>.<br />

Anplis tann mwen oblije tann, mwen pat satisfè ak sèvis mwen resevwa a. M oblije tounen kèk jou apre ak yon moun kap travay labank la pou l ede m -- ede m jwenn chekye pa m mwen fin komande.

1161. Vandredi ki te 14 jen an, m te al nan <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ayiti-Deploge-Show/140047979801">Ayiti Deploge</a> ak yon kouzin mwen. Mwen te toujou byen renmen lide dèyè pwogram sa a: fè yon piblik konnen chantè kap parèt pandan yo vin tande atis yo fin apresye yo. Se vre jouswa sa a te gen plizyè chantè enteresan tankou Annie Alerte.

Si se te yon bal, mwen ta konprann, men se te yon spektak. Moun te bouke tann, sitou animatè a te vrèman pale twop. Lè m deside ale, li te preske 2zè, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ThierryChamOfficiel">Thierry Cham</a>, ki te envite spesyal la potko janm monte sou sèn lan.<br />

1163. Siman gen moun ki gentan di se konsa bagay yo ye nan domenn mizik la. M pa fin kwè sa. Si se vre, se pa mizik sèlman. Ane sa a, m pat gen tan patisipe nan anpil aktivite <a href="http://www.reseau-culture-haiti.org/30-mai-15-juin-2013-Livres-en-folie-la-19e-edition-et-Quinzaine-du-Livre_a364.html">Quinzaine du Livre</a> la, men m te asiste detwa kan menm. Konsa, madi 28 me, mwen te al tande <a href="http://www.culturessud.com/redacteur.php?id=18">Delia Blanco</a> pale sou literati dominiken ak ayisyen nan enstiti franse a. Konferans la komanse ak trant minit reta ki fè, mwen pat ka rete pou m patisipe nan diskisyon ki te suiv konferans la. M te gen kesyon pou m poze, men m pat dispoze plis tan. Pafwa m gen enpresyon oganizatè diferan aktivite yo panse moun pa gen l<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">ò</span>t bagay pou yo fè; yo dispoze pase tout apremidi ou a oubyen sware a avèk yo. Ala bèl sa ta bèl si se te vre! M ale nan plizyè k<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">ò</span>l<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">ò</span>k ki k<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">ò</span>manse anreta oubyen kote prezantatè yo pa vini ditou. Erezman, sa pa rive souvan.<br />
1164. <br />
1165. Lotjou m byen sezi, m rive Lek<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">ò</span>l N<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">ò</span>mal pou yon reyinyon ki te konvoke a 10è, se mwen sèl ki te la. Li te 10è edmi, reyinyon an potko <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> k</span><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">ò</span>manse. Mwen deside pa rete. Lè pou m deplase, te gen yon machin ki te pake dèyè pa m la. Avèk tan m pase pou m desann lavil epi pou m remonte, m pèdi preske twazèdtan antou.<br />
1166. <br />
1167. Donk, lè m fin plenyen tout plenyen sa yo, nou ka mande ki pwojè mwen genyen pou vakans lan ki fè m ap veye tan an konsa. M gen liv mwen k<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">ò</span>manse li kèk jou, m poko fini: <i><a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=117408">Cathédrale du mois d’août</a></i> epi <i><a href="http://lajumentverte.wordpress.com/2013/07/02/absences-sans-frontieres-evelyne-trouillot/">Absences sans frontières</a></i>. Mwen bezwen li liv nouvèl Louis-Philippe Dalmebert la tou. Mwen toujou ap chèche nouvèl pou kou sou jan sa a m ap anseye Lek<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">òl N</span><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">òmal depi preske 10zan!</span><br />
1168. <br />
1169. Anplis liv pou m li, m gen pwojè. M ap travay sou yon liv Haiti Reader avek 4 kolèg nan 4 inivèsite diferan. Mwen gen plizye dosye pou m prepare pou ile en ile ak pwojè tradiksyon.

1170. <br />

1176. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">Last
1177. month I had the pleasure of seeing the play, "Roots of Liberty: The
1178. Haitian Revolution and the American Civil War" at Tremont Baptist Church here in
1179. Boston.  The venue was historically significant because this is where the
1180. Emancipation Proclamation was publicly read in Boston in 1863. The play
1181. was part of "<a href="http://www.freedomrising2013.com./"><span style="color: blue;">Freedom Rising</span></a>" a three day series of events
1182. to celebrate the commemoration of the 150<sup>th</sup> year anniversary of
1183. the Emancipation Proclamation. The play was presented by <a href="http://www.centralsquaretheater.org/history_urt.html">Underground Railway Theater</a> Company and directed by Megan Sandberg-Zakian. It was written by
1184. Natalia Naman (with contributions by Edwidge Danticat). The play included historical
1185. speeches and letters such as the well known one in which Louverture uses the
1186. phrase upon which the title is based. "In overthrowing me you have only cut down the trunk of liberty; it will spring up again from the roots, for they are many, and they are deep."</span></div>

1192. <div class="MsoNormal">
1193. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
1194. play relates the intertwined histories of these wars and the special
1195. role that the Haitian Revolution occupies in the African-American
1196. imagination.  The story begins with a high school girl, Cécile (named for
1197. <a href="http://www.haitiantv.com/cecile.htm">Cécile Fatima</a>) assigned to do a report on a historical hero for her American
1198. history class and is encouraged by her father to consider writing about
1199. Toussaint Louverture and the Haitian Revolution.  She chooses
1200. Louverture only to be told by her history teacher that he is neither in the
1201. textbooks nor on the MCAS which is the state exam for public schools.
1202. Determined to prove Toussaint Louverture’s relevance to the US Civil War,
1203. Cécile goes on a dream like journey in which historical figures come to
1204. life.  She encounters Wendell Phillips, Frederick Douglass, William
1205. Lloyd Garrison and eventually Louverture himself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

1207. <br /></div>
1208. <div class="MsoNormal">
1209. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">To be completely
1210. honest, I had my reservations about the play before seeing it.  Especially
1211. after a friend told me about the plan to have Toussaint present as a larger
1212. than life puppet in the stage.  But my doubts were quickly put to rest almost as soon as I arrived in the theater. The puppet did not look out of place or
1213. cartoonish, only like a giant painting. The incorporation of music by Kera
1214. Washington, a well known percussionist with years of experience working in Haiti
1215. and with Haitian rhythms, and dance by the talented Jean Appolon dance troupe was
1216. especially effective and entertaining. </span></div>

1219.  <o:p></o:p></span></div>
1220. <div class="MsoNormal">
1221. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
1222. cast was made up of mostly local actors from the Underground Railway, but at the end Danny Glover made a surprise appearance in the role of Toussaint
1223. Louverture. When the pageant/performance concluded, special guest <a href="http://www.tandenou2.blogspot.com/p/read-this-lisez-ceci-li-sa.html">Edwidge Danticat</a>
1224. joined Danny Glover on stage for a panel moderated by <a href="http://dubois.fas.harvard.edu/about-henry-louis-gates-jr">Henry Louis Gates</a>.  This was one of my favorite parts of the event. Danticat was
1225. fabulous as always and handled Gates' questions with her characteristic grace, understated brilliance and depth of knowledge.  Glover shared about his fascination with Haiti and the long journey to make the film he is producing about the Haitian Revolution.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
1226. <div class="MsoNormal">
1227. <br /></div>
1228. <div class="MsoNormal">
1229. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">All in all this was a wonderful event.  I was especially glad to be able to attend with my family.  My sons, both of whom are named after historic Haitian heroes, were so excited to see the dancing, hear the drumming, and learn more about the Toussaint they had only seen in paintings.  Of course my older son wanted to know when Dessalines was going to appear, which unfortunately he did not, so I promised him we would go see another play about the second half of the Haitian Revolution. Any ideas on where to find that?</span></div>

1627. Du 2 au 4 mai dernier s'est tenu à Port-au-Prince un colloque international sur la poésie: <a href="http://www.fondationculturecreation.org/colloque/colloque-international-haiti-2013-programme/"><i>La poésie haïtienne dans le contexte latino-américain et caribéen -- La Place de Georges Castera fils</i>.</a> J'entends souvent les gens se plaindre du manque d'activités culturelles dans la ville. J'avoue que je ne comprends pas trop de quoi ils parlent. Il me semble ne jamais avoir assez de temps pour assister à tout ce qui est offert -- surtout quand on tient compte des embouteillages! Ainsi, les <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lesrencontresquebecoisesenhaiti">Rencontres Québécoises</a> (ne serait-ce pas plutôt Rencontres Haïtiano-Québécoises?) se sont déroulées durant les mêmes jours que le colloque Castera, comme je l'appelle. J'ai donc seulement pu assisté à un seul des panels qui se sont organisés dans le cadre de ces Rencontres, celui sur la littérature jeunesse. Panel fort intéressant d'ailleurs, qui m'a donné envie d'aller à la découverte des livres de <a href="http://www.soniaklaflamme.com/">Sonia K. Laflamme</a>, surtout. Il parait qu'elle écrit des romans policiers et on ne peut jamais en avoir trop.</div>
1628. <div style="text-align: justify;">
1629. <br /></div>
1630. <div style="text-align: justify;">
1631. Par contre, j'ai assisté a tous les panels à l'exception d'un seul du colloque Castera (il fallait bien consacrer un peu de temps à ma fille!) et vous livre donc quelques impressions. Impressions pas du tout objectives, d'ailleurs, étant donné que j'étais membre du comité scientifique et ai aussi participé a quelques-unes des réunions d'organisation en plus d’être parmi les intervenants. </div>
1632. <div style="text-align: justify;">

1635. La cérémonie inaugurale a eu lieu dans la soirée du mercredi 2 dans une ambiance chaude et chaleureuse! Les discours de circonstance ont été prononcés par Dominique H. Riboul de la <a href="http://www.fondationculturecreation.org/">Fondation Culture Création</a>, l'institution organisatrice, <a href="http://lettre.ueh.edu.ht/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=361&Itemid=1">Fritz Deshommes de l'UEH</a> et <a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=116507">Jacky Lumarque de l'UniQ</a>, les deux universités associées au colloque. On a eu droit à d'excellentes prestations de <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tamara.suffren">Tamara Suffren</a> et <a href="http://www.boulovalcourt.com/">Boulo Valcourt</a>. <a href="http://www.profanal.com/collaborateurs/pierre-brisson/">Pierre Brisson</a> et <a href="http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/ile.en.ile/paroles/castera.html">Georges Castera</a> ont lu des poèmes, en faisant alterner humour et gravité. </div>
1636. <div style="text-align: justify;">

1639. L'aspect scientifique du colloque a commencé jeudi matin à <a href="https://www.jobpaw.com/assets/pdf/Profil%20des%20Diplomes%20UEH.pdf">l'Ecole Normale Supérieure</a>. <a href="http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/ile.en.ile/paroles/desrosiers.html">Joel Des Rosiers</a> était le conférencier invité et a évoqué le style tardif. Un débat passionné a suivi cette première séance qui comprenait aussi un panel constitué par <a href="http://www.sociocritique-crist.org/membres/christiane-ndiaye.htm">Christiane Ndiaye</a> et <a href="http://www.domtomnews.com/v1/amenagement-linguistique-en-haiti-enjeux-defis-et-propositions-par-renauld-govain/">Renauld Govain</a>. Il y avait moins de monde à la séance de l'après-midi à la <a href="http://www.ueh.edu.ht/facultes/fe.php">Faculté d'Ethnologie</a>. Etant malade, Gary Augustin n'a pas pu venir, ce qui était dommage. <a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=106510">Les dessins de Georges Castera</a> constituent une partie de son oeuvre dont on ne parle pas assez. Pour ma part, j'ai évoqué un autre aspect plutôt méconnu de l'oeuvre de Castera, ses textes critiques. </div>

1647. Les séances du vendredi se sont déroulées à <a href="http://www.uniq.edu/">l'Université Quisqueya</a>. En tant que conférencier invité <a href="http://www.rogertoumson.com/">Roger Toumson</a> a évoqué les différentes correspondances existant entre différents artistes caribéens et a surtout <a href="http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/ile.en.ile/paroles/cesaire.html">Aimé Césaire</a>. Lors de <a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=116115">la séance de l'après-midi</a>, un des intervenants n'est pas venu et le deuxième était en retard. Mais Georges a pris la parole, en parlant un peu de son travail poétique et en répondant à des questions du public, donc on était quand même gâtés!<br />

1652. Dans la soirée du 3 mai, on a eu droit à un<a href="http://www.universitecaraibe.com/vedrelitt.htm"> Vendredi littéraire</a> spécial dont Georges Castera était l'invité d'honneur. Plusieurs participants des Rencontres Québécoises y étaient aussi et ont partagé leurs textes avec l'assistance. <a href="http://www.editionsboreal.qc.ca/catalogue/auteurs/pierre-nepveu-234.html">Pierre Nepveu</a>, <a href="http://auteurs.contemporain.info/elise-turcotte/">Elise Turcotte</a> et <a href="http://www.litterature.org/recherche/ecrivains/roy-andre-413/">André Roy</a>, par exemple. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/woolysaintlouis.jean">Wooly St. Louis Jean</a> a interprété plusieurs textes de Castera mis en musique par lui ou d'autres musiciens. Pierre Brisson nous a encore gratifié de sa lecture de quelques poèmes. Les nombreux enfants du quartier constituent aussi une présence à signaler! </div>

1656. Les trois interventions du samedi matin à la <a href="http://www.ueh.edu.ht/facultes/fla.php">Faculté de Linguistique Appliquée</a> ont offert des éclairages différents sur la poésie de Castera. Il y a eu aussi débat sur les termes utilisés entre littéraires et linguistes. En général, la discussion a donné raison au conférencier invité <a href="http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/ile.en.ile/paroles/pierre.html">Claude Pierre</a> quand il évoquait la polysémie du texte en partant d'une toute nouvelle publication de Castera: <i>Sodo</i>. L'intervention de <a href="http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/ile.en.ile/paroles/auguste.html">Bonel Auguste</a> sur le poids de Georges Castera sur les autres poètes a interpellé plusieurs personnes dans la salle. </div>

1663. En général, les discussions ont été animées tout au long du colloque avec des questions sur l'élitisme de la poésie, sur le statut du créole, sur la religion... Les différentes remarques de Christiane Ndiaye et Roger Toumson ont bien enrichi les différents débats, chacun de leur manière. Plusieurs participants de pays étrangers ont exprimé leur surprise de voir tant de personnes assister à un colloque sur la poésie et en plus prendre la parole sans être intimidés par les éminents chercheurs et écrivains dans la salle. Pour moi, c'est tout à fait normal et c'est tant mieux. </div>

1671. Le colloque m'a donné l'occasion de visiter différents établissements d'enseignement supérieur de Port-au-Prince affectés par le séisme du 12 janvier 2010. C'est réjouissant de les voir se remettre tant bien que mal et de constater la vivacité de la vie intellectuelle qui s'y trouve.  Mais c'était aussi triste pour moi de confirmer que <a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=110260">l'état de l'ENS </a>est bien lamentable par rapport aux autres facultés.</div>
1672. <div style="text-align: justify;">

1675. Voilà, j'espère que ces quelques impressions sur le colloque Castera pourront intéresser ceux qui n'ont pas eu la chance d'y assister en attendant la publication des Actes du Colloque. Si jamais d'autres participants veulent ajouter leurs commentaires ou rappeler ce que j'ai pu oublier, vous êtes les bienvenus!  Si vous avez des photos, ce serait encore mieux! </div>

2046. <span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Yari Yari is a significant and dynamic conference for women writers of Africa and the diaspora.  An
2047. international symposium of women writers--it is simply without parallel.
2048.  This year's theme "Continuing the Dialogue" recognizes the huge
2049. impact made by women writers all over the world while acknowledging the work

2051. solidarity and collaboration in creative work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

2088. Last year, in February to be precise, I read <a href="http://ila.emory.edu/home/people/faculty/jackson.html" target="_blank">Régine O. Jackson</a>'s <i><a href="http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415887083/" target="_blank">Geographies of the Haitian Diaspora</a></i>. I loved it, and have been meaning to share some thoughts about it here, but have not gotten around to it until now. I'm actually surprised that the book hasn't been reviewed more widely since its publication.<br />
2089. <br />
2090. For many years now, there has been <a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=111166" target="_blank">increased attention paid to the Haitian Diaspora</a> -- they were declared <a href="http://www.statoids.com/uht.html" target="_blank">the 10th department before Nippes was</a>! (I guess now the Diaspora would be the 11th department? That doesn't quite have the same ring to it.) But what do we mean when we evoke the djaspora? Is the Haitian community in the Bahamas comparable to the one in France? Is Boston's Haitian community equivalent to that of the DR? And what of the <a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=109089" target="_blank">nuances within each of the different groups</a>?<br />
2091. <br />
2092. When there is much talk about members of the diaspora helping Haiti, <a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=109097" target="_blank">investing in Haiti</a>, there is <a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=109041" target="_blank">little discussion of  their capacity</a>  to do so. The assumption seems to be that all djaspora are in a position to help their compatriots at home. Yet, that is far from being the case. Some diasporic communities are more in need of support from the home country rather than being in a position to provide it, yet they <a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=112657" target="_blank">rarely seem to receive such support</a>.<br />
2093. <br />
2094. <i>Geographies of the Haitian Diaspora</i> explores and illustrates all of these issues. One of the things I most loved about the book was that it does not contain chapters on Haitian communities in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pride-Against-Prejudice-Haitians-Immigrants/dp/0205168175" target="_blank">Miami</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/American-Odyssey-Haitians-Anthropology-Contemporary/dp/080149270X" target="_blank">New York</a> City. Not that I have anything against those two cities, but there has been tons of research done on Haitians in those communities already, much of it stellar. And we should be wary of those two enclaves being seen as representative of the Haitian diaspora as a whole. Jackson's volume contains chapters on Haitian communities in the Bahamas, in the Dominican Republic, in Boston, in Guadeloupe, in Jamaica and Montreal. Just as there is incredible diversity amongst Haitians at home, so there is among the diaspora. They do not all speak the same languages, they do not all subscribe to the same religious beliefs, and they are not similarly integrated into their host societies.<br />
2095. <br />
2096. The volume contributors are highly respected researchers in their fields. Apart from Margarita Mooney's chapter, which seemed to rely mostly on anecdotes, I was very impressed with the caliber of the research and writing. Samuel Martinez's chapter on Haitians in the Dominican Republic was rather depressing, but that was to be expected given the<a href="http://www.borderoflights.org/#!commemorate/cmbr" target="_blank"> turbulent history</a> between the two nations. I loved learning about Haitians in 19th century Jamaica. I have always wanted to visit Cuba, but Yanique Hume's chapter now has me even more intrigued. Part III of the book is entitled Diaspora as Metageography and the authors in this section stretch the meanings of diaspora beyond its traditional limits to include soundscapes and cyberspace, to cite only two examples.<br />
2097. <br />
2098. I have been on something of a history kick lately. In the past two months, I've read Alyssa Sepinwall's <i><a href="http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415808682/" target="_blank">Haitian History: New Perspectives</a></i>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Avengers-New-World-Haitian-Revolution/dp/0674018265" target="_blank"><i>Avengers of the New World</i> </a>and <i><a href="http://us.macmillan.com/haiti-1/LaurentDubois" target="_blank">Haiti: The Aftershocks of History</a></i> by Laurent Dubois, and in spite of the many references to <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Silencing-Past-Power-Production-History/dp/0807043117" target="_blank">Silencing the Past</a></i> in these texts, added <i><a href="http://www.editionsuniversitecaraibe.com/" target="_blank">Ti Dife Boule sou Istwa Ayiti</a> </i>by Michel-Rolph Trouillot instead. Regine Jackson's volume is a wonderful addendum to that list, showing how  historical processes  have impacted and continue to impact various  Haitian communities around the world.<br />
2099. <br />
2100. This book did raise one question in my mind that is not specific to Haitian Studies: why in the world are research books so expensive? I would love to tell you all to run out and buy this, but I doubt you'll be able to afford it. The hardcover runs for $122.99 on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Geographies-Haitian-Diaspora-Routledge-Studies/dp/0415887089/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1361984602&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, whereas the Kindle edition is $87.59. I hope you will ask the libraries you frequent to buy it, but it makes me wonder about editorial policies. Does Routledge really want people to read this book? The contributors to <i>Geographies of the Haitian Diaspora</i> have made many important interventions in the discussions surrounding Haiti, its diaspora, diaspora studies in general and<a href="http://tandenou2.blogspot.com/2013/02/being-haitian-eyond-identity-politics.html" target="_blank"> identity politics (which is a topic we're visting a lot on Tande lately</a>).

But I am back and looking forward to a new year with new posts on new topics, and continuing our effort trying to think about Haitian culture and literature from a range of perspectives. &lt;br /&gt;

2112. Recently I was telling my husband, Ohene,  about the brilliant jazz singer Cécile McLorin-Salvant and played a bit of her music for him.  Upon hearing the song, Ohene asked, "why are they calling her Haitian?" I replied, "Because her father is Haitian and she was born and raised in Miami." To which he countered,  "But she sounds like an African-American jazz singer, nothing about the way her music sounds is Haitian." It is probably worth noting here that Ohene is a huge jazz fan. In school he took a jazz class about both the history of the music as well as the more formal elements of the genre. </div>

2123. Not being familiar with McLorin-Salvant's entire body of work, I could not verify his claim, but I did recall from an interview her own musings about how people in Paris assumed she was African-American and had been exposed to jazz as her cultural heritage.  In fact, in <a href="http://www.theworld.org/2013/01/cecile-mclorin-salvant/" target="_blank">interviews</a> she explains that as the daughter of a French-Guadeloupean mother and Haitian father she was classically trained and more influenced by Caribbean soundscapes than African-American traditions.</div>

2129. As someone who thinks about the relationship between cultural identity and belonging and who is committed to getting beyond the identity politics attendant to how we "see ourselves," I think that McLorin-Salvant's music offers a compelling example of how some of these tensions play out. </div>

2133. <o:p>When you google Cécile McLorin-Salvant under the link for her website it identifies her as a "French-American singer" but when you click on the actual <a href="http://cecilemclorinsalvant.com/about" target="_blank"> website</a>, her bio states that she "</o:p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">was born and raised in Miami, Florida of a French mother and a Haitian father.</span>" On the occasion of McLorin-Salvant's visit to Haiti and concert last fall, Roland Léonard described her trip as a "pilgrimage," clearly evoking the idea of return--so central in narratives of diasporic journeys--for an article in <i><a href="http://lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=111005" target="_blank">Le nouvelliste</a>. </i>Understanding that identification and misidentification are always a part of how we process the different ways that people identify and define themselves, there are countless questions that we can ask on this topic. </div>

2137. How do we define identity?  What constitutes belonging? When does a generation in the diaspora cease to have ties to the homeland?  At some point, does one's identity in diaspora overshadow any ties they have to the homeland?  How does one reconcile a deep feeling of belonging that is based only on an imagined homeland?  How do we think about cultural belonging in more fluid ways in the face of the rigidity of citizenship? These are the kinds of questions I have been having my students wrestle with in my two  classes this semester--"Theorizing the Diaspora" and "Paris Noir: From la Négritude to le Hip-Hop."  Of course, these are also questions that I wrestle with myself, as the USA born daughter of immigrants who<i> </i>always instilled in me pride and recognition of the fact that though born in the US I, too, am Haitian. </div>

2140. Cultural theorist <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2007/sep/23/communities.politicsphilosophyandsociety" target="_blank">Stuart Hall </a>offers insight to some of these issues by arguing that cultural identity is both a matter of "becoming" as well as of "being." <a href="http://www.vanderbilt.edu/historydept/patterson.html" target="_blank"> Tiffany Patterson</a> and <a href="http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/college/robin_kelley.php" target="_blank">Robin Kelley</a> would call this the processual nature of diaspora.  Sociologist <a href="http://college.emory.edu/home/about/people/faculty/Jackson_Regine_P5915114.html" target="_blank">Régine Ostine Jackson</a> takes on multiple ways for thinking about Haitian identity in relation to diaspora by focusing on the concept of "geographies." Indeed, scholars working on diaspora have been asking these kinds of questions and generating more for a long time, but how do those theories correspond to (if at all) to they way we think about and talk about these issues on a daily basis?</div>

2149. Tande ap swete tout lektè nou yo bòn ane. Sa fè kèk tan depi nou pa ekri sou blòg la. Nou te menm ka panse tit dènye tèks mwen an se te yon fason pou mwen te tou di nou Tande fèmen. Se pa sa ditou. Ane 2013 la kòmanse pou nou ak anpil delè, yon maladi epi anpil aktivite pwofesyonèl. Men nou la, nou pa pi mal. N ap toujou kontinye pataje lide nou sou kilti ak literati ak lektè nou yo, epi nou toujou la pou nou tande nou. </div>
2150. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2151. <br /></div>
2152. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2153. Mwen toujou eseye li anpil depi gen yon ti vakans. Se lè sa a tou mwen pwofite finalize dosye mwen gen pou remèt. Youn nan tèks mwen te gen pou m remèt nan mwa janvye a se yon biyografi <a href="http://www.haiti-reference.com/notables/getperson.php?personID=I21&tree=ecrivains" target="_blank">Georges Sylvain</a>. M tap travay tou sou yon tèks sou travay kritik ki fèt sou literati ayisyen an.</div>
2154. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2155. <br /></div>
2156. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2157. Menm jan ak anpil lòt moun, mwen konstate nan anpil diskisyon sou literati ayisyen, kritik ak lektè gen tandans neglije liv ki pibliye an kreyòl yo. Yo site <i><a href="http://www.haitianbookcentre.com/bookbag/details.php?bookid=603&CategoryID=3" target="_blank">Dezafi</a></i> ak <i><a href="http://www.dloc.com/UF00076577/00001?search=georges+=sylvain" target="_blank">Krik? Krak</a>!</i>, men se kòmsi pa gen anyen ki fèt apre sa. Se domaj. Enterè liv kreyòl yo pa chita sèlman nan fè promosyon lang kreyòl la. Menm jan ak tèks literè ki ekri nan nenpòt ki lang, tèks kreyòl yo pèmèt lektè a pataje richès imajinasyon ekriven an oubyen konstate travay li fè sou lang la. Nan ka Ayiti a, li difisil pou yon moun arive konprann literati peyi a si li pa gen okenn ide sou sa kap fèt nan toulède lang nasyonal yo. Sitou anpil ekriven ayisyen jodi a ekri nan toulède lang yo. Anpil lektè  tou li tout kalite tèks nan de lang yo, menm si toujou gen plis pwezi ki ekri an kreyòl pase woman, teyat ak nouvèl. Men tèks sa yo la tou. </div>
2158. <div style="text-align: justify;">

2161. Mwen deja site Georges Sylvain ak <a href="http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/ile.en.ile/paroles/franketienne.html" target="_blank">Frankétienne</a>. Ane pase nou te fete santyèm anivèsè <a href="http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/ile.en.ile/paroles/morisolewa.html" target="_blank">Félix Morisseau-Leroy</a>. Gen <a href="http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/ile.en.ile/paroles/castera.html" target="_blank">Georges Castera</a> tou ki kontinye ap fè yon travay enpòtan nan domenn pwezi kreyòl. Dayè nan mwa me 2013, ap gen yon <a href="http://www.fondationculturecreation.org/" target="_blank">kòlòk sou pwezi Castera</a> ekri nan toulède lang yo.</div>

2163. <br /></div>
2164. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2165. Men apa non sa yo anpil moun kapab rekonèt, gen lòt òte ki pibliye tèks enteresan an kreyòl nan ven dènye ane k sot pase yo. Anpil moun ki pa li tèks kreyòl yo di se paske yo pa konnen yo. M fè yon ti lis kèk liv an kreyòl mwen renmen anpil pou ede nou. </div>

2180. Jounen jodi a, gen anpil pwodiksyon literè ayisyen an kreyòl. Kèlkeswa stil ekriti, tip tèks ou renmen li, ou ta dwe kapab jwenn tèks an kreyòl kap fè w plezi. Mwa sa a, <a href="http://wordswithoutborders.org/article/bilingual/season-of-grief" target="_blank">Words Without Borders</a> pibliye yon nimewo spesyal sou Ayiti. Ladan l n ap jwenn ekstrè rekèy <i>Sezon Malè</i> Guy-Gérald Ménard pibliye ane pase. Gen plizyè antoloji ki fèt ann Ayiti kote nou kapab jwenn tèks an kreyòl ansanm ak tèks an franse tankou <a href="http://www.etonnants-voyageurs.com/spip.php?article4823" target="_blank"><i>Haïti, par monts et par mots. Un atlas littéraire</i></a> epi <i><a href="http://www.alterpresse.org/spip.php?article13881" target="_blank">La vie et ses couleurs</a></i> ki fenk parèt an desanm 2012. Gen plis liv bileng kap fèt kounyè a, sitou pou timoun. Jounen jodi a, timoun ayisyen yo gen anpil chwa nan liv kreyòl pou yo li. Dènyèman, <a href="http://www.hpnhaiti.com/site/index.php/societe/7219-haiti-societe-le-grahn-devoile-les-16-laureats-des-prix-dexcellence-2012" target="_blank">GRAHN te rekonèt travay Jocelyne Trouillot Lévy</a> nan literati kreyòl la. Depi plizyè ane Trouillot Lévy ap pwodui liv pou timoun ak adolesan an kreyòl. <a href="http://www.editionsuniversitecaraibe.com/" target="_blank">Edisyon lap dirije a</a> spesyalize l nan pwodiksyon kreyòl. </div>
2181. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2182. <br /></div>
2183. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2184. Tout sa se yon fason pou mwen di nou gen anpil otè k ap travay pou anrichi lang kreyòl la, pou nouri imajinè nou. Nan sans sa a, nou pwofite salye memwa <a href="http://radiovision2000haiti.net/public/haiticulture-deces-de-lecrivaine-et-dramaturge-deita/" target="_blank">Deita</a> ki kite nou an desanm 2012. Travay li fè sou lang kreyòl ak kilti ayisyen trase chimen pou anpil lòt. Bibliyotèk Nasyonal Ayiti ap òganize yon jounen omaj pou Deita vandredi 25 janvye. </div>
2185. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2186. <br /></div>
2187. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2188. Si nou pa abitye li liv an kreyòl, nou mèt kòmanse jodi a. Lè fini, vin di nou sa n panse. Ann bay patisipasyon pa nou nan travay kritik sou literati ayisyen an kreyòl. </div>

2202. Du 26 novembre au 9 décembre s'est tenu la 9ème édition du Festival Quatre Chemins. 9ème édition déjà? Eh oui, depuis 2003, le Festival Quatre Chemins s'est imposé dans le domaine du théâtre haïtien. Cette année constitue la vraie reprise du Festival après le séisme du 2010, avec environ <a href="http://www.fokal.org/fr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=573:calendrier-du-festival&catid=81:festival-de-theatre-quatre-chemins-2012&Itemid=78" target="_blank">une dizaine de lectures et de pièces offertes au public</a>. Malheureusement, le public était assez restreint. Comme d'habitude, il n'était pas du tout facile de trouver des cartes pour les spectacles. Les cartes étaient disponibles à l'Institut Français d'Haiti à partir du lundi 26 novembre. Quand j'y suis allée le matin du mercredi 28, il n'en restait que très peu et pas du tout pour les spectacles d'enfants. C'était la même situation à la FOKAL. Mais j'ai pu quand même en avoir quelques-unes. Et j'ai pu heureusement emmené ma fille voir l'un des spectacles pour enfants. On est arrivé sans cartes, on s'est croisé les doigts et la chance était de notre coté. Heureusement parce qu'elle était un peu jalouse de mes soirées théâtrales!</div>

La première pièce à laquelle j'ai assisté était <i><a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Jeu-lamour-du-hasard/dp/2266163779/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1355266245&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Le Jeu de l'amour et du hasard</a></i>, mis en scène par <a href="http://www.africultures.com/php/index.php?nav=personne&no=4780" target="_blank">Jean-René Lemoine</a>. La pièce était superbe. Les comédiens étaient convaincants, surtout Carline Colagène qui était d'un naturel époustouflant dans le rôle de Lisette. Le texte de Marivaux dans lequel deux jeunes de famille bourgeoise changent de place avec leurs servants pour voir s'ils peuvent être aimés pour eux-mêmes renvoi de façon évidente à la société haïtienne contemporaine. En sortant de la salle à la fin du spectacle, un membre non-haïtien du public a fait le commentaire que les Haïtiens avaient bien apprécié la pièce mais que de toute façon cette situation ne serait jamais possible en Haiti. On se demande si elle le serait dans la France de Marivaux. <a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=111219" target="_blank">La force de la pièce</a> réside justement dans le fait que Marivaux met son public face à une situation impossible, en les poussant à s'interroger sur les raisons de son impossibilité. </div>

2213. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2214. Voir la pièce m'a donné envie de relire le texte (les jours de préparation des examens oraux pour l'obtention du doctorat sont bien loin!). Ce serait un exercice intéressant que de relire certaines pièces en les replaçant dans un contexte haïtien. Trop souvent, les cours traditionnels de littérature présentent les textes comme étant figés à tout jamais dans leurs lieux et espaces originaux de production. Mais on peut toujours les réactualiser. Le théâtre reste dynamique. Le <i><a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Rom%C3%A9o-Juliette-William-Shakespeare/dp/2266152157/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1355351410&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Roméo et Juliette</a></i> de Shakespeare a inspiré<a href="http://www.amazon.com/West-side-story-Ernest-Lehman/dp/B0007I8MPU/ref=sr_1_11?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1355267895&sr=1-11&keywords=west+side+story" target="_blank"> <i>West Side Story</i></a>.

Je n'ai jamais oublié la représentation du <i><a href="http://www.theatre-du-soleil.fr/thsol/nos-spectacles-et-nos-films/nos-spectacles/le-tartuffe-1995/?lang=fr" target="_blank">Tartuffe</a></i> de Molière que j'ai vu joué en France à la Cartoucherie.

2218. Quelques jours après<i> Le Jeu de l'Amour et du Hasard</i>, j'ai vu <i><a href="http://www.lematinhaiti.com/contenu.php?idtexte=33765&idtypetexte=%20la%20fuite" target="_blank">La Fuite</a></i>, une mise en scène de Billy Elucien sur un texte de <a href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/2000/press-f.html" target="_blank">Gao Xingjian</a>. C'est une habitude au Festival Quatre Chemins de faire attendre le public dehors assez longtemps avant de les laisser entrer en salle. Après cette première attente au dehors, on est entré dans l'obscurité pour attendre un peu plus avec un bruit de fond pour créer l'ambiance. Le problème c'est que cette ambiance a duré un peu trop longtemps. Et malheureusement, la sonorisation à la salle de Sainte Rose de Lima était de très mauvaise qualité. On n'a pas eu droit comme à la FOKAL aux annonces nous rappelant d'éteindre les portables. Ce qui était dommage parce qu'il y avait beaucoup de personnes qui avaient manifestement oublié. La porte s'est ouverte de nombreuses fois pour laisser entrer les retardataires. Il était très difficile d'entendre les comédiens, surtout que le public ce soir-là était particulièrement bavard, voulant rivalisant avec les joueurs sur scène. (Il y a eu aussi beaucoup de <a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=111330" target="_blank">rires</a> lors du spectacle, qui n'était pourtant pas une comédie.) On a du finalement éteindre la ventilation dans la salle pour favoriser le son, mais le public avait alors très chaud. Vous comprendrez que tout ceci a fait que les conditions n'étaient pas réunies pour que le spectacle soit une réussite. Le jeu des comédiens n'était pas très convaincant et si le premier spectacle m'a donné envie de relire Marivaux, celui-ci ne m'a pas du tout donne envie d'aller à la découverte de l'auteur. Mais un festival, c'est aussi ça, de bonnes expériences et de moins bonnes. C'est un apprentissage pour les comédiens,  les metteurs en scène et tous ceux qui sont impliqués dans la production des pièces, mais c'est aussi un apprentissage pour le public. Pour qu'il sache ce qu'il aime, ce qu'il n'aime pas et pourquoi. Pour qu'il sache aussi comment se comporter en salle de spectacle.</div>

2226. C'est pour cela qu'il est tellement louable que les organisateurs aient pensé à inclure des spectacles pour enfants. Malheureusement, je n'ai pu assister qu'à un seul: <i><a href="http://www.fokal.org/fr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=577:le-pays-de-rien&catid=81:festival-de-theatre-quatre-chemins-2012&Itemid=78" target="_blank">Le pays de rien</a></i>. C'était un spectacle pour enfants, avec la participation des enfants. Le décor ainsi que les costumes étaient assez simples, mais très agréables à voir. Le texte était facile à suivre pour les enfants, mais quand même porteur d'idées. Un spectacle qui donne envie de continuer à côtoyer le monde du théâtre. <a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=111529" target="_blank">Il parait qu'il en était de même</a> pour le spectacle <i>Le Chevalier de l'eau</i> présenté par la troupe Actelier théâtre création du Centre Culturel Pye Poudre. Et je dois dire que cela a fait du bien de voir des anciens de l'ENS parmi les comédiens et metteurs en scène. Et de voir d'actuels étudiants dans les salles!</div>

2229. C'est bien que le Festival Quatre Chemins soit de retour. Mais comme quelqu'un m'a dit lors de la pièce de Marivaux, c'est un festival qui crée des frustrés. On aimerait tellement pouvoir tout voir. Il y a tellement de gens qui seraient intéressés à assister aux différentes représentations. Il faut penser à multiplier les endroits de représentation pour pallier au manque de salles de spectacle. Les organisateurs y pensent déjà avec l'inclusion dans le Festival de la <a href="http://www.fokal.org/fr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=582:brigade-dintervention-theatrale-haitienne-bith-theatre-de-rue&catid=81:festival-de-theatre-quatre-chemins-2012&Itemid=78" target="_blank">Brigade d'intervention théâtrale haïtienne</a>. J'espère qu'ils vont continuer sur cette voie pour s'assurer que le maximum de personnes puisse participer à une aussi belle initiative. </div>

I traveled to Touba Dialw where I saw the art of Gerard Chenet who I also interviewed and spent some time with. &amp;nbsp;This time in Dakar was my first experience with &quot;field research&quot; and &quot;archival research&quot; methods that have become increasingly integral to literary studies in the case of the latter, and less practiced but still done in the case of the former. &amp;nbsp;I began knowing exactly what I was looking for at the time, but not sure how the project was going to take shape in the future. &amp;nbsp;I began simply, perhaps somewhat naively merely asking people if they were familiar with any Haitians living in Dakar. &lt;br /&gt;

2242. I share this experience now because last week at the American Studies Association in San Juan Puerto Rico, I had hoped to do similar work on "los haitianos."  Unfortunately time, conferencing and a sweet surprise visit from my beloved did not allow!  What I did happen upon, however was a "Haitian Gallery" in Old San Juan.  When I spoke to the person at the desk about its Haitianness the following interaction ensued:</div>
2243. <div>
2244. <br /></div>
2245. <div>
2246. Me: Wow all this art is Haitian?</div>
2247. <div>
2248. Him: (shaking his head) No, of course not.</div>
2249. <div>
2250. Me: (confused) Then why is it called Haitian Gallery?</div>
2251. <div>
2252. Him:  Well it began as a Haitian Gallery but now we get art from all around the world, this mask is from Polynesia for example...</div>
2253. <div>
2254. Me: (disappointed and slightly annoyed) Oh...welll...okay </div>
2255. <div>
2256. <br />
2257. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_lFIkCh-USw/ULK1_5C3l4I/AAAAAAAAAZ8/P5jxyEkh_EY/s1600/prhaiti1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_lFIkCh-USw/ULK1_5C3l4I/AAAAAAAAAZ8/P5jxyEkh_EY/s320/prhaiti1.jpg" width="239" /></a>That being said I did get some nice pictures of the inside! I was reminded of my <a href="http://www.tandenou2.blogspot.com/search/label/Macy%27s" target="_blank">previous post </a>about cultural consumption, who consumes Haitian art, when, where and what does it mean.  Haitian art is certainly well known throughout the world, what are some different ways it is being used, consumed  and represented outside of Haiti?  When we talk about "outside of Haiti" we also need to carefully distinguish between how this consumption translates across cultures.  How is Haitian art received or appreciated in Puerto Rico or other parts of the Caribbean, in Bénin, Nigeria, or other parts of the African continent, or in France and Spain and other parts of Europe?  I don't have definitive answers to any of these questions, but it is something I thought about a lot after my encounter in this Puerto Rican "Haitian Gallery."</div>

2265. It's the last day of October! Generally, we like to produce about two blog posts per month. And suddenly I find myself with only a few hours left to write something. I don't know where the time went! Well, I do, actually. October is always a busy month for me as it's the start of our academic year, so I've been busy prepping classes. Also, Regine and I will both be at the <a href="http://cdn.umb.edu/images/cla_a_c/Haitian_Studies_Program_10.28.12.pdf" target="_blank">24th annual Haitian Studies Association conference</a> in New York in a couple of weeks. There are so many fantastic panels and presentations lined up, I am sure I will be frustrated by everything I'll be forced to miss. In addition to the roundtable where we'll be talking about this here blog, I'll be presenting on my experience as a teacher in Haiti. That paper is currently a work in progress. I thought I'd give you all a preview. Feel free to weigh in and help me shape my paper!</div>
2266. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2267. <br /></div>
2268. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2269. The title of my talk is<i> A Haitian Reflects on Teaching Haitian Literature in Haiti</i>. My co-panelists, <a href="http://www.as.miami.edu/history/people/KateRamsey" target="_blank">Kate Ramsey</a> and <a href="http://www.csusm.edu/history/facultydirectory/alyssasepinwall.html" target="_blank">Alyssa Sepinwall</a>, will be talking about their experiences teaching about Haiti in other communities.</div>
2270. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2271. <br /></div>
2272. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2273. I was a double major in college: French and English. I love books--  love reading them, love talking about them. I just couldn't decide which literary tradition to specialize in. Then I spent a semester in Paris and took a course with<a href="http://www.africultures.com/php/index.php?nav=personne&no=4948" target="_blank"> Jacques Chevrier</a> on Francophone African literature. When I returned to Baltimore, I did an independant study on Haitian literature. It became obvious that that was what I wanted to spend my time on: reading and studying Haitian literature. But at that time, I honestly had no idea <i>where</i> I'd be researching and teaching Haitian literature. </div>
2274. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2275. <br /></div>
2276. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2277. Now that I've been teaching at the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Haiti's State University for about a decade while also participating in conferences and projects on Haitian literature elsewhere around the world, it is clear to me that <i>context </i>has a huge impact on what happens in the classroom, even if the content is ostensibly the same. </div>
2278. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2279. <br /></div>
2280. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2281. So, here are a few particularities of teaching Haitian literature in Haiti that I plan to highlight in my talk. And I know some of them are pretty obvious:</div>
2282. <br />
2283. <ul>
2284. <li style="text-align: justify;">There is no need for me to introduce or contextualize Haiti at the start of each semester. Big relief there!</li>
2285. </ul>
2286. <ul>
2287. <li style="text-align: justify;">I teach texts written in French as well as texts written in Creole. I'm not sure that'd be possible if I worked in a French department, but I'm housed in Modern Letters.</li>
2288. </ul>
2289. <ul>
2290. <li style="text-align: justify;">My students have usually heard of all of the authors I teach. They've met some of them and even had them as teachers. The books and authors are real to them in a way they might not be to other students. </li>
2291. </ul>
2292. <br />
2293. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2294. Of course, some  particularities are not positive ones:</div>
2295. <br />
2296. <ul>
2297. <li style="text-align: justify;">The physical learning environment is pretty atrocious -- open classrooms with no doors, broken chairs and no sound insulation. In fact, <a href="http://www.lenouvelliste.com/article4.php?newsid=110260" target="_blank">the ENS is yet again involved in a campaign </a>to get authorities to improve our working conditions.</li>
2298. </ul>
2299. <ul>
2300. <li style="text-align: justify;">I have to be creative in terms of syllabus building, since access to the library is often iffy and a lot of the books I'd like to teach are not affordable. We use a lot of photocopies.</li>
2301. </ul>
2302. <ul>
2303. <li style="text-align: justify;">Lack of diversity. We don't usually have the benefit of a wide range of perspectives in the classroom. We tend to come at the text from similar places, although my job as teacher is to help students consider other viewpoints. </li>
2304. </ul>
2305. <br />
2306. <div style="text-align: justify;">
2307. I hope these seem like good starting points for my paper. Any ideas on what I should add? What have been some of your experiences teaching or learning about Haiti?</div>

2657. <span lang="FR" style="font-family: Times;">Le mois de septembre est terminé, mais je voudrais
2658. quand-même marquer la rentrée scolaire ici aux Etats-Unis...alors,
2659. permettez-moi de partager quelques points de réflexion sur le premier roman
2660. sur mon syllabus—<i><a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Rosalie-lInf%C3%A2me-Evelyne-Trouillot/dp/2906067881/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1350080365&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Rosalie l’infâme</a></i> de Evelyne Trouillot. Publié en 2003 ce roman
2661. se situe à Saint Domingue au 18e siècle. Plus spécifiquement, c'est l'année
2662. 1750--la période de l'esclavage.  </span><span lang="FR" style="font-family: Times;">Enseigner ce roman
2663. m'a donné l'occasion de réfléchir en profondeur sur les représentations de
2664. l'esclavage dans le contexte haïtien et comment enseigner l'esclavage dans un
2665. cours de littérature et culture francophone aux Etats-Unis. </span></div>

2673. l’esclavage ainsi que l’humanité des esclaves individus se réalise avec des
2674. personnages pleins de leurs propres pensées et passions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>A mon avis la postface présente un des
2675. éléments les plus intéressants du roman. Trouillot y explique qu’elle « ne voulait pas écrire un
2676. roman historique », mais malgré ceci <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Rosalie
2677. l’infâme </i>peut être considéré comme un roman historique ainsi que ce que les
2678.

2681. écrivains et artistes noir-américains essayent de négocier leur identité et
2682. citoyenneté américaine au 20<sup>e</sup> et 21<sup>e</sup> siècles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Devant cet état de choses, comment
2683. pourrait-on expliquer l’utilisation du « neo-slave narrative » dans
2684. le contexte haïtien, autrement dit, que veut dire la représentation de
2685. l’esclavage dans le contexte haïtien ?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Comment est-ce que l'histoire de l'esclavage figure dans notre
2686. imaginaire contemporain?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>En utilisant le
2687. sujet du marronnage, Trouillot explore un aspect de cette histoire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>D'une certaine manière le "nèg
2688. mawon"<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>est synonyme de notre
2689. compréhension de l'esclavage parce que celui-ci représente la résistance et la
2690. liberté préfigurant la Révolution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Mais
2691. Trouillot présente une autre vision qui féminise le personnage célèbre. Ainsi elle
2692. nous offre une histoire à la fois familière et complètement ré-imaginée.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

2725. bref, ce roman leur a enseigné l'histoire de l'esclavage d'une manière plus intime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ce succès est à cause de l’écriture de Trouillot

2766. tande vwa l, plis mwen wè sa mwen te konprann deja : se yon sosyete kote gen diskriminasyon, kote
2767. li difisil pou gwoup sosyal yo melanje. Nou tout ki <a href="http://www.hougansydney.com/lumane-casimir.php" target="_blank">tande l</a> konnen Limàn Kazimi
2768. se te yon moun ki te gen yon kokenn chenn talan, men mwen vin aprann tou se te
2769. yon moun ki te gen pèsonalite l, ki te gen fyète l. Sosyete nou an, sitou epòk

2778. klè, ki maladi li te genyen pa klè, ki kote li te mouri pa klè. Men sa ki sèten
2779. e ki dwe fè nou reflechi tou : li mouri nan mizè, li mouri poukont li. Jan
2780. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnPUF_6QMTM" target="_blank">poèt Koralen di nan chante li ekri pou Limàn Kazimi a </a>se kòmsi tout moun ki te
2781. konn antoure atis la abandone l lè afè l pa bon, lè li tonbe malad. Se pa yon sèl moun ki lage l, se sosyete a ki
2782. lage l, ki pa sipòte l. Sa pa vle di Limàn Kazimi se te yon sent, tout sa li te
2783. fè te bon, te kòrèk. Se pa jijman map

2787. p at dwe mouri nan kondisyon li mouri a. Malerezman anpil lòt atis ayisyen
2788. mouri nan move kondisyon tankou Limàn Kazimi. Sa montre nou pa bay atis nou yo
2789. ase valè alòske se yo ki pote peyi a anpil fwa avèk bèlte yo kreye. Dezyèman,
2790. ka Limàn Kazimi an pi grav paske se tankou sosyete a pase yon twal pou li efase
2791. lavi atis sa a, tankou li pa t enpòtan ditou. Yo kenbe chante li yo epi yo
2792. efase detay lavi li tankou li p at janm egziste.</span></div>

Lè m tap prepare doktora m, m te li plizyè liv <a href="http://www.african-geopolitics.com/author/henri-lopes" target="_blank">Henri Lopes</a>. Yo te fè yon gwo enpresyon sou mwen epi banm anvi konnen peyi li : Kongo Brazavil. M espere yon jou m a rive fè vwayaj sa a. Antouka, lè m rive Jeremi, mwen sonje <i><a href="http://www.myboox.fr/livre/les-chemins-de-loco-miroir-820727.html" target="_blank">Les Chemins de Loco-Miroir</a>;</i> map imajine kote Violaine te rete, kote Alexandre te abite, ki kote yo te konn rankontre. M si prochenn fwa m li liv sa a, map li l yon lòt jan.

Pa egzanp, mwen pa t janm konn enpòtans Bomon nan endistri kafe a. Youn nan pi bèl moman m panse pandan ete a se chita sou yon galri Bomon ap bwè kafe. Men vwayaj la se te sitou yon fason tou pou mwen kontinye ekri istwa Ayiti pa m lan. Nou chak gen youn. Nou ka fè l pi rich si nou chèche alimante l. Nan ane 1998, Cultura te soti yon nimewo spesyal ki rele </span><i>Voyage à l’intérieur de nous-mêmes</i> kote plizyè ekriven te gen pou kreye yon tèks apre yon vwayaj yo fè anndan peyi a. An 2009, Asosyasyon Etonan Vwayajè Ayiti a pibliye yon atlas literè ki rele <i><a href="http://www.etonnants-voyageurs.com/spip.php?article4823" target="_blank">Haïti par monts et par mots</a></i>. Ladan l plizyè otè ekri sou diferan kote nan peyi a : yon vil, yon katye, yon kay. Si m te konn ekri, tèks pa m lan, m tap fè l sou Jeremi. </span><br />

In relation to Haiti I have often been preoccupied by the question of media images in the USA--which images get circulated, who are they taken by, why are they made popular, and what they convey. More often than not, the answers to these questions fall dismally in line with the predominant stereotypes of Haiti in the international lens. Though I am often the first person to critique these "media images" of Haiti, I think what is more important than critiquing the different images that are out there, is to find alternative visions, images, and lenses (i</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "ＭＳ 明朝"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">n fact some of the comments to my last post generated a discussion about this issue as well).  </span><br />

Romain's images are striking in terms of the angles, the poses, the faces.  She focuses on faces rather than bodies, perhaps in direct contrast to how, especially in the aftermath of the earthquake, Haitian bodies were highlighted, objectified and spectacularized.   Instead, Romain focuses on faces, eyes set in close up, looks defiant and looking directly into the camera without a trace of shyness. </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12.0pt;">With the"Ayiti:  Reaching Higher Ground" exhibition, Romain features series of photos that were taken after the earthquake. The exhibit began at the Brooklyn Museum and is available for viewing at the Schomburg.  </span><br />

3128. <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Susan Sontag has written in depth about the uses of photography and the consumption of images in her books <i>On Photography</i> (1977) and<i> Regarding the Pain of Others</i> (2004) both of which consider the objectifying lens of the camera in documenting atrocity and suffering.  Given some recent videos and slideshows published this week courtesy of <i>The New York Times</i>, I am reminded that when it comes to "seeing" Haiti who is doing the looking and how they look is of extreme importance.  While Sontag spends a lot of time detailing what is wrong with images of suffering, she offers few alternatives.  Today we can look to Romain and other photographers such as Daniel Morel as artists who use their lens to show audiences how to see differently by offering breathtaking counter-images.</span><br />

3133. </tbody></table><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In her photoessay "Ayiti: Reaching Higher Ground" Romain explains what motivates her work: "I am her storyteller, offering insight into the lives of Haïti’s extraordinary yet often marginalized and misrepresented people. I look into the black space, into the black face that is often overlooked. People of color are analogous to the black space in the negative of a photograph. We are often the backgrounds that allow the foreground to be seen. I share the remarkable stories of my people to dismantle this paradigm" (Meridians: <i>feminism, race, transnationalism </i>2011, vol. 11, no. 1, pp. 132–140).  </span><br />
3134. <br />
3135. <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12.0pt;">As the images clearly demonstrate, Romain is successfully using photography to tell a different story about Haiti that is not often captured through the mainstream lens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

3141. <br />
3142. What also struck me about these articles is how each one seems to link the Haitian-American athlete's desire to represent Haiti to post-earthquake Haiti.  To "lift the spirits of Haitians" as one article puts it, or, "to give hope to the people who have none."  It seems sometimes like another path to a familiar storyline.  Regardless of how the story is spun, the fact is that those participating are proud to represent Haiti in the Olympics and will stand united together as they do.  Here are their names and their events:<br />
3143. <br />
3144. Linouse Desravine--judo<br />
3145. Jeffrey Julmis--100-meter dash <br />
3146. Moise Joseph--800 meters <br />
3147. Samyr Laine--triple jump  <br />
3148. Marlena Wesh--  200 & 400-meter races<br />
3149. <br />
3150. Some of these events have already happened, did you follow and who were you rooting for?  Did you root more passionately for Linouse Desravine in judo than you will for those in the other events?  Will you be paying attention to the Haitian representation in the Olympics? <br />

Au garçon efflanqué qui rentrait de St Martial avec plein d’histoires à raconter. Je revois ce grand jeune homme au sourire malicieux et au regard profond. Je sens la force de ses bras quand il me serrait contre lui pour étouffer mes peurs de petite fille, accordant à chaque futilité l’immensité de sa tendresse. Je l’entends dire les paroles du <i>Petit Prince</i> qu’il avait joué à une représentation scolaire au Petit Séminaire. Je le vois grimper dans une jeep pour aller aider les rescapés d’un cyclone particulièrement dévastateur. Je le revois, guitare à la main, en train de chercher la mélodie parfaite pour la dernière chanson de Tanbou Libète. Je l’entends nous lire les premières pages de <i>Ti dife boule</i>, et je voudrais simplement qu’il soit encore là, avec cette intelligence extraordinaire que nous acceptions tout naturellement parce qu’elle faisait partie de lui, avec son humour qui jaillissait irrésistible, irréductible. Cet humour que la maladie et la douleur physique n’ont jamais pu briser et que j’ai retrouvé dans sa voix, il y a quelques jours, au téléphone, quand nous nous sommes parlé pour la dernière fois. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Comment parler de Roro et ne pas mentionner ses étudiants dont les mots de sympathie racontent son engagement envers eux, ce souci qu’il avait de faire un lien constant entre les connaissances et la réflexion et les réalités qui nous entourent, réalités qui souvent demandent à être changées? Il a initié chez beaucoup d’entre eux cette relation féconde et profondément humaine entre les études académiques et la vie, entre le savoir et les autres.  Cette connexion sans laquelle les diplômes accumulés ne constituent que des marques de pédanterie stériles et banales. Comment parler de Roro sans parler de sa guitare et des chansons qu’il composait pour ses amours,  comment parler de lui sans penser à <i>Ti dife boule</i> ou à <i>Silencing the past</i> ? Mais comment parler de lui et signifier qu’il était bien plus que tout cela, qu’un individu ne peut se réduire à l’ensemble de ses actions, qu’il surgit dans un sourire au coin des yeux, dans une main tendue un matin d’hiver à Chicago, dans un éclat de rire partagé à Saint Antoine il y a bien longtemps, dans l’écho d’une voix au téléphone. Je me suis souvenue aussi de ses yeux la dernière fois que nous nous sommes vus, je l’avais compris qu’il était fatigué,  qu’il en avait marre, il me l’avait dit aussi vrai que les paroles entre nous n’avaient pas besoin de mots, et je n’avais pas pu l’accepter. Mon grand-frère était fatigué. A moi, à nous d’apprendre aujourd’hui à gérer la douleur de vivre sans lui, à vivre avec le bonheur de l’avoir connu.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

3193. <blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Mwen gen plizyè jou m’ap chèche fè yon kòmantè sou lanmò yon zanmi, mwen pat ka jwen mo pou sa. Mwen fini pa remake pwoblèm mwen, se reziyen mwen potko reziyen m di “te" pou m pale de li. Mwen te plis abitye pansé va…ap…a…lè Michel-Rolph Trouillot pase nan tèt mwen: “Kisa Wowo a di sou yon gwo nouvèl nan sèn entènasyonal la?; yon kriz politik nan peyi Dayiti? yon liv ki fèk sòti? Menm ekri, mwen te konn reflechi sou sa li ta ka di sou sa. Kifè mwen santi m dwòl lè m di “te” pou’m pale de li.<br />
3194. Men lavi se lavi, fò n sèvi avè l jan l vini a. Wowo te sèvi ak lavi jan l vini a. Menm lè lavi te fè koub sou li, li te gade’l nan je, jeklè. Si refleksyon enteletkyèl ka sèvi pou moun trase chemen yo, mennen tèt yo, Michel- Rolph Trouillot se pi gwo egzanp you moun ka jwenn pou suiv. Se you moun ki te ka brase wòl mari, papa, zanmi, pwofesè, mizisyen konpozitè, powèt, ak yon senplisité ki te fè l parèt tankou nenpòt ki moun òdinè. Yon lè, mwen mande l kijan li fè pou li akonpli tout sa li akonpli yo. Li reponn mwen: "pi gwo fòs mwen se konn feblès mwen.” <u></u><br />
