Conflict in Caribbean Literature. Anglophilia Review 2012
This issue of Anglophilia aims to analyse the question of conflict in quite recent works of literature (published from the year 1995 onwards) written by French, Spanish or English-speaking Caribbean authors. The Anglophila Review is primarily a platform for the study of the Anglophone world so articles should deal with Anglophone authors, propose a comparative study of Anglophone, Hispanic or Francophone authors, or articles on Caribbean literature in english.
In this study, the theme of conflict in novels might be interpreted as:
- a tool for the deconstruction of the colonial imagination
- a perspective of self and the other
political strategy
heritage
an exploration of memory
the opposition of cultures and/or communities
choice of language and/or style of writing
interpretations within other genres (links to feminist writing, gay and lesbian studies or queer studies)
literary form
as a generator of discourse and conceptual thinking
norms
- elements of resistance (discourse and counter-discourse)
how it contributes to creation
But within novels one might also analyse:
the relationship between conflict and violence
the role of conflict in emancipation
what generates conflict
what is generated by conflict
how conflict might be hijacked (dissimilation, ignorance, sabotage etc.)
the representation of conflict
how conflict is represented in writing
the influence of conflict on writing
the evolution of conflict within the creative space of the Caribbean
