This study examines her singular approach to literary commitment as a critical reworking of aesthetic models and modes of interpretation. Focusing on four dominant problematics in Condé’s work—history and globalization in La Belle Créole and Moi, Tituba sorcière...noire de Salem , intertextuality and reception in La migration des cœurs and Célanire cou-coupé , trauma and subjectivity in En attendant le bonheur and Desirada , community and ethics in Traversée de la mangrove and Histoire de la femme cannibale —this analysis proposes to elucidate how, and to what ends, Condé engages, and alters, approaches to reading, staging the problematic, yet pragmatic, need to read well . This hermeneutic imperative foregrounds the need to engage with texts, to cannibalize texts while recognizing their fundamental opacity and inexhaustibility, their resistance to the reader’s interpretive habits.Francopolyphonies ;7.Literature and moralsElectronic books.Literature and morals.843.91409Simek Nicole Jenette1976-890656MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452117803321Eating well, reading well1989513UNINA01533nam 2200337Ia 450 99638649900331620200824132830.0(CKB)4940000000082709(EEBO)2240876579(OCoLC)ocm17356259e(OCoLC)17356259(EXLCZ)99494000000008270919880118d1695 uy |engurbn||||a|bb|Uraniæ metamorphosis in Sydus, or, The transfiguration of our l[ate] gracious sovereign Queen Mary[electronic resource] discover'd in a miraculous vision since the celebration of her funeral : a poem ... /written by a doctor of physickLondon Printed for D.
