Résumé
Un vaste corpus critique et littéraire dont les composantes formulent autant de théories de l'échange interculturel existe déjà, mais des limites significatives décelées au sein des concepts qui les composent ont souvent affaibli leur pérennité critique.
En partant de ces théories et d'oeuvres littéraires transnationales issues de la Caraïbe anglophone, cette présentation propose d'explorer comment les métaphores peuvent se lier aux déplacements géographiques de populations et de cultures pour proposer une désignation nouvelle – la tropicalité, métaphore joignant les tropiques et leur traversée aux tropes – des travaux artistiques et critiques interculturels concernés et de leur éthique de l'échange interculturel.
Mots-clés :
- trope,
- tropiques,
- métaphore,
- postcolonialisme,
- littérature
Abstract
A vast body of literature the components of which formulate as many numbers of theories promoting cultural exchange already exists, but significant limitations in their central concepts have affected their impact on critics.
Based on these theories and literary works by Caribbean authors, this presentation explores how metaphor can be related to the geographical displacements of populations and cultures, in order to suggest a new designation – tropicality, a metaphor relating the tropics and their crossing to tropes – of critical and artistic works springing from what they support: ethical cross-cultural exchange.
