Organisers Pascale Tollance, Victoria Famin, Fabrice Malkani, and Axel Nesme.

       Abstract for my talk: 
Jennifer K. Dick (Université de Haute-Alsace) : 

Dépaysement : le cas de from Unincorporated Territory [Lukao] par Craig Santos Perez

Jennifer K Dick, MdC, Université de Haute Alsace

L’auteur Craig Santos Perez écrit entre prose et poésie. Ses livres sont des sorts d’études d’histoire, de mémoires poétiques incorporant des collages textuels et visuels (« carte-poèmes »). Il « raconte » par des formes fragmentées de narration, par des histoires interrompues, la transformation qui est au cœur du dépaysement, un éloignement et un rapprochement paradoxalement simultanés. Perez est l’auteur de from unincorporated territory  (1. Hacha, 2. Saina, 3. Guma et 4. Lukao), une tétralogie qui mélange la langue anglaise et la langue Chamorro. Dans cette œuvre, il songe de remettre / re-dessiner sur la carte du monde le paysage oublié et effacé de son enfance (l’île de Guam). On pourrait dire qu’il tente d’incorporer ce territoire au monde. Guam, l’île de ses ancêtres, est un paysage de souvenirs et de langues ravagés par des colonisations successives. Le dépaysement (dans son cas un déracinement brutale par l’effacement de sa culture d’origine et la destruction de la nature) surgit de la modification radicale de ce « chez lui », en commençant par le nom même du lieu : Guam, Guåhan...

              En étudiant from unincorporated territory [Lukao], le dernier livre de Perez, cette intervention explorerait des éléments qui relient les paysages réels (autobiographiques) de Guam et d’O’ahu à Hawaii et imaginaires (métaphoriques, mythiques et poétiques) pour montrer comment cette œuvre qui lutte contre le dépaysement pour son auteur crée un dépaysement pour son lecteur.  

See the programme for both days below here, with the titles and names of all of the exciting speakers:
