Abstract:
Handcrafts like quilting, knitting, sewing, and cross-stitching have traditionally been viewed as a “woman’s thing,” a gendered leisure time activity. However, women’s handcrafts when read as texts can yield multi-layered narratives. With the coming of the second wave feminism in the US in the 1960s, many feminist scholars, critiques turned to study literary texts in which women’s handcrafts yielded political and/or cultural meanings. In fact, there is a bulk of scholarly literature on the representations of needlework in American literary tradition. The aim of this research paper is not to offer a comprehensive study on the representations of women’s handcrafts in American literary tradition but to bring attention to three contemporary American novels, Mama Day by African American feminist author Gloria Naylor, Four Souls by Native American Louise Erdrich, and Flight Behaviour by Barbara Kingsolver. the study of which, I believe, will bring a new breath to the already existing scholarship on the topic.

Full text
Abstract:
The Hundred Secret Senses d'Amy Tan, Mama Day de Gloria Naylor et Tracks de Louise Erdrich se focalisent sur la remémoration et la recherche du passé oublié. Tous trois sont des romans mineurs ; mais si Erdrich, Naylor et Tan revendiquent leur appartenance à leur minorité éthique, elles ne se coupent pas pour autant de la socièté dominante. Elles écrivent dans la langue dominante sans perdre de vue les préoccupations de leur groupe ethnique. Le traitement du passé dans leurs romans n'est pas une exception, mais témoigne d'une tendance répandue dans la littérature ethnique contemporaine. La manière de représenter le passé dans les textes mineurs reflète le double héritage culturel de leurs auteurs. On y trouve en effet des échos des mythologies propres à l'ethnie de chaque romancière, mêlés à des références aux évenements historiques qui évoquent le contact, souvent conflictuel, entre le groupe ethnique et la socièté dominante. En même temps, le choix des métaphores et des procédés d'écriture témoigne de la difficulté de construire une identité syncrétique qui relie les éléménts du double héritage. Cette difficulté semble se traduire par une narration plurivoque ; chaque oeuvre juxtapose au moins deux narrateurs. L'un d'eux parle souvent au nom de la socièté dominante, tandis que l'autre , ou les autres, verbalisent la vision du monde ethnique. La malaise identitaire informe également les métaphores spatiales et les métaphores de remémoration
The Hundred Secret Senses, Tracks and Mama day Focus on the process of recovering the forgotten past. The same preoccupation with memory, history and autiobiography can be found in numerous hyphenated American texts. Thus, Tan, erdrich and Naylor represent a larger trend in contemporary American novel. The characters of these texts face the difficult process od constructing a syncretic idendity. [. . . ]Thus, the reader will find in these novels transformational characters[. . . ]

Abstract:
Cette thèse se propose d’explorer les géographies narratives dans les romans de trois écrivains africains-américains contemporains: Jamaica Kincaid, Paule Marshall et Gloria Naylor. Cette étude interdisciplinaire porte sur les représentations littéraires de l’espace et du temps tout en postulant que les trois textes font partie de l’espace diasporique et de l’Atlantique noir. La quête des origines de nos protagonistes ainsi que leurs routes définissent les principaux espaces narratifs : l’île natale en tant que trope central, les lieux de transition et, reléguée à la périphérie – la ville d’exil. Chaque espace narratif apparaît comme une géographie ontologique sur laquelle s’articulent le temps, le mouvement, l’exil et la mémoire. Cette étude suit la relation dichotomique entre île etmétropole, ainsi que les tensions entre leurs temporalités respectives: d’une part, la perception cyclique du temps, de l’autre, le temps linéaire. L île apparaît dans les trois romans comme lieu primordial alors que l’écriture devient un moyen de s’emparer du temps passé
This doctoral dissertation explores the fictional geographies in the novels of three contemporary African American writers: Jamaica Kincaid, Paule Marshall and Gloria Naylor. This interdisciplinary study focuses on the fictional representations of space, place and time and their interrelations. I start from the premise that the three texts share the diasporic and rhizomatic map of the Black Atlantic. On this map, the protagonists’ roots and routes are inscribed through three narrative settings: the native island—as central trope, a cluster of intermediary sites and the (peripheral) city of exile. Each setting is a complex ontological geography upon which time, movement, exile, and memory are articulated and re-articulated in a palimpsest-like manner. I examine the dichotomic relationship between home-island and city of exile, as well as the tensions between their associated temporalities: cyclical versus linear perceptions of time. The island emerges from our study as the fundamental locale in the characters’ peregrinations. Ultimately, reasserting space means re-mapping the past

Abstract:
This study examines the onomastic consistencies in three of Gloria Naylor's novels: Linden Hills (1985), Mama Day (1988), and Bailey's Cafe (1992). The naming patterns exhibited by Naylor in the triad demonstrate a similar practice used by other African American writers. This thesis explores her use of the motif as well as her expansion of it to include feminist and theological tenets in order to challenge hegemonic systems, especially patriarchy. To explicate the use of names in the three texts discussed in the thesis, the original Afrofemtheological theory is utilized to embrace all three of Naylor's clear influences - Afrocentrism, Feminism, and Theology - in the naming traditions evident in her works. In using a combination of various naming strategies, the three novels indicate that the naming process and the formation of self-identity are communal processes that are multi-faceted in nature. By including community, spirituality, and cultural history in self-actualization efforts like naming, systems such as patriarchy can be fought and demolished.

Abstract:
My thesis explores the formation of the subject in the novels of Faulkner’s Go Down, Moses, Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon, and Gloria Naylor’s Mama Day. I attach the concept of property in terms of how male protagonists are obsessed with materialistic ownership and with the subordination of women who, as properties, consolidate their manhood. The three novelists despite their racial, gendered, and literary differences share the view that identity and truth are mere social and cultural constructs. I incorporate the work of Judith Butler and other poststructuralist figures, who see identity as a matter of performance rather than a natural entity. My thesis explores the theme of freedom, which I attached to the ways characters use their bodies either to confine or to emancipate themselves from the restricting world of race, class, and gender. The three novelists deconstruct any system of belief that promulgates the objectivity of truth in historical documents. History in the three novels, as with the protagonists, perception of identity, remains a social construct laden with distortions to serve particular political or ideological agendas. My thesis gives voice to African American female characters who are associated with love and racial and gender resistance. They become the reservoirs of the African American legacy in terms of their association with the oral and intuitionist mode of knowing, which subverts the male characters’ obsession with property and with the mainstream empiricist world. In this dissertation, I use the concept of hybridity as a literary and theoretical devise that African-American writers employ. In effect, I embark on the postcolonial studies of Henry Louise Gates, Paul Gilroy, W. E. B Du Bois, James Clifford, and Arjun Appadurai in order to reflect upon the fluidity of Morrison’s and Naylor’s works. I show how these two novelists subvert Faulkner’s essentialist perception of truth, and of racial and gendered identity. They associate the myth of the Flying African with the notion of hybridity by making their male protagonists criss-cross Northern and Southern regions. I refer to Mae Gwendolyn Henderson’s article on “Speaking in Tongues” in my analysis of how Naylor subverts the patriarchal text of both Faulkner and Morrison in embarking on a more feminine version of the flying African, which she relates to an ex-slave, Sapphira Wade, a volatile female character who resists fixed claim over her story and identity. In dealing with the concept of hybridity, I show that Naylor rewrites both authors’ South by making Willow Springs a more fluid space, an assumption that unsettles the scores of critics who associate the island with authenticity and exclusive rootedness.
Ma thèse est une étude comparative entre William Faulkner, Toni Morrison et Gloria Naylor. Elle me permet d’explorer comment les protagonistes males construisent leur identités en se référant à la possession matérialiste et en se basant sur la subordination de la femme, qui est une autre forme de possession, afin de consolider leur masculinité. Dans leurs textes respectifs, Go Down, Moses, Song of Solomon, et Mama Day, les trois auteurs, malgré leur différences culturelles et même littéraires, partagent l’idée que l’identité, l’histoire, et la vérité ne sont que des construits culturels et sociales. On se basant sur la théorie de Judith Butler et d’autres théoriciens poststructuralistes et contemporains, ma thèse reflète qu’il n’y a pas d’identité « naturelle » ou de réalité objective. La perception identitaire n’est qu’une illusion imaginaire et idéologique ou le sujet ne fait que répéter et performer le discours de son environnent. Faulkner, Morrison, et Naylor basent leurs oeuvres sur le thème de la liberté. Ils explorent comment, à partir de leurs corps, leurs caractères se conforment ou bien se détachent de l’idéologie qui confine leurs identités sexuelles, raciales et sociales. En critiquant, non seulement l’identité’ mais aussi l’histoire, ma thèse montre que les trois écrivains détruisent la perception que la vérité est objective surtout dans les documents historiques. Ainsi, la vérité devient qu’une forme de distorsion qui consolide une certaine idéologie. Ma thèse montre que les trois auteurs mettent en valeur la voix de la femme Afro-Américaine. Elle joue le rôle d’une médiatrice pour les protagonistes males. Elle rejette le discours matérialiste et sexiste. Cette voix féminine représente le thème de l’amour et la survie de sa communauté noire et la résistance raciale. La femme Afro-Américaine préserve la culture Africaine à travers son attachement à la tradition orale et à la connaissance intuitive. En se basant sur la tendance subversive de l’art et de la littérature postcoloniale qui est promulguée par les théories de Henry Louise Gates, Paul Gilroy, W. E. B Du Bois, James Clifford et Arjun Appadurai, je montre qu’à travers Toni Morrison et Gloria Naylor, le texte de Faulkner reste logocentrique et essentialiste dans sa vision hiérarchique de l’identité raciale et sexuelle. Morrison et Naylor se référant au mythe de l’Africain volant afin de justifier qu’il n’y a pas d’identité fixe et stable, donnant ainsi la voix a une identité hybride et fluide. En se basant sur l’article, « Parler en Langues » de Mae Gwendolyn Henderson, ma thèse explore comment en réécrivant d’autres textes, Gloria Naylor déconstruit non seulement Faulkner, mais aussi le sexisme qui demeure résident dans le texte de Toni Morrison. L’histoire de Willow Springs se base sur le mythe féminin d’une ex esclave Sapphira Wade, qui en étant volatile, son histoire et son identité résistent toute forme de catégorisations. En étudiant l’hybridité’ dans la culture Afro-Américaine, ma thèse montre que le Sud qui est décrit dans l’oeuvre de Mama Day est plus hybride que celui de Faulkner et Morrison.
