This research aims to examine the work of Patrick Chamoiseau through three main axes that highlight its aesthetic and critical richness. The first part situates the writer within the context of Caribbean literature, by analyzing the sociolinguistic stakes of créolité and the notion of linguistic overconsciousness: writing emerges as a space of tension between French and Creole, colonial memory and poetic invention. The second part sheds light on the figure of the Creole storyteller, a vector of memory and oraliture, whose word grounds an aesthetics of Relation. The notion of sentimenthèque further illustrates how literature is inscribed within a shifting and affective memory. Finally, the third part explores the geography of the trace, where landscapes, sounds, and sensory imaginaries configure a poetics of the living, inspired by Glissant’s thought. The study thus demonstrates that Chamoiseau’s writing constitutes a genuine narrative laboratory, where loss is transformed into a poetic resource and where language becomes a site of experimentation, resistance, and creation.
Cette recherche se propose d’examiner l’œuvre de Patrick Chamoiseau à travers trois axes principaux qui en révèlent la richesse esthétique et critique. La première partie situe l’écrivain dans le contexte de la littérature antillaise, en examinant les enjeux sociolinguistiques de la créolité et la notion de surconscience linguistique : l’écriture apparaît comme un espace de tension entre français et créole, mémoire coloniale et invention poétique. La deuxième partie met en lumière la figure du conteur créole, vecteur de mémoire et d’oraliture, dont la parole fonde une esthétique de la Relation. La notion de sentimenthèque illustre en outre l’inscription de la littérature dans une mémoire affective et mouvante. Enfin, la troisième partie explore la géographie de la trace, où paysages, sons et imaginaires sensoriels configurent une poétique du vivant inspirée de la pensée de Glissant. L’étude montre ainsi que l’écriture chamoisienne constitue un véritable laboratoire narratif, où la perte se transforme en ressource poétique et où la langue devient lieu d’expérimentation, de résistance et de création.

Abstract
This research aims to examine the work of Patrick Chamoiseau through three main axes that highlight its aesthetic and critical richness. The first part situates the writer within the context of Caribbean literature, by analyzing the sociolinguistic stakes of créolité and the notion of linguistic overconsciousness: writing emerges as a space of tension between French and Creole, colonial memory and poetic invention. The second part sheds light on the figure of the Creole storyteller, a vector of memory and oraliture, whose word grounds an aesthetics of Relation. The notion of sentimenthèque further illustrates how literature is inscribed within a shifting and affective memory. Finally, the third part explores the geography of the trace, where landscapes, sounds, and sensory imaginaries configure a poetics of the living, inspired by Glissant’s thought. The study thus demonstrates that Chamoiseau’s writing constitutes a genuine narrative laboratory, where loss is transformed into a poetic resource and where language becomes a site of experimentation, resistance, and creation.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
