Description
Martinique November 23,24,25
The conference will be hosted by the Université des Antilles et de la Guyane, Campus of Martinique French West INdies, and is sponsored by the review "ARGUTIE" which will publish the papers.
The conference "Self images, mirror images" deals with self representations and representations of the family and the people in post-colonial societies, through arts and medias.
It will focus on how we Caribbean, African and Indian people see ourselves but also how we are perceived by the other, and the influence that this other vision has on our perception of ourselves. All artistic forms are concerned(litterature, cinema, theatre, dance, painting and so on) but also TV and press. We are interested in many subjects such as ( for instance):
- family relationships
- the politician
- the artist
- the rebel
- man, woman and work
- exotism and self exotism
- touristic representations
- cliches, phantasms and myths
- between nostalgia and modernity
Abstracts must be sent to Dr Patricia Donatien-Yssa
