Description
Summary:In Écrits pour la parole, Léonora Miano gives a voice to the racialized people living in France. I will study how race gives shape to texts. I will see that Miano writes about the difficulty of speaking about race, by playing with the fragmenting of sentences, with the second-person singular enunciation and free indirect speech. Then, I will show that these texts make the lack of identity and the feeling of dehumanization resulting from racist speeches heard, by working on the implicit of the texts and the fall effects. Finally, I will offer a reading of the influence of jazz on Miano’s language, which allows her to carry an ideal of harmonious meeting of cultures which she calls "Afropéa", and a disturbing strangeness in the French language.
