Abstract

Using the theoretical frameworks of Freud, Todorov, and Bahktin, this book explores how American writers of the late 20th century have translated the psychoanalytical concept of "the uncanny" into their novelistic discourses. The two texts under scrutiny - Paul Auster's "City of Glass" and Toni Morrison's "Jazz" - show that the uncanny has developed into a crucial trope to delineate personal and collective fears that are often grounded on the postmodern disruption of spatio-temporal continuities and coherences.

Abstract

Reading, Learning, Teaching Toni Morrison draws on contemporary scholarship and Morrison's own commentary to explicate all of her novels published to date, including her 2008 novel A Mercy. Morrison, the 1993 Nobel Prize winner, is an unabashedly confrontational author. Her profound and complex novels address problems such as slavery, violence, poverty, and sexual abuse. Morrison's work encompasses a project of total cultural renewal: she re-imagines and reaffirms the experience of African Americans from the earliest days of slavery up to the present, avoiding stereotypes or oversimplification. She employs African and Western literary traditions and conventions as a basis for both structure and critique, re-writing some of the «master narratives» of American culture and history. This book analyzes Morrison's novels in the context of African American history and literature, and provides supplemental material to guide teachers and students to understand and appreciate Morrison's novels.

Abstract

Le présent ouvrage, d'abord conçu comme une suite à mon livre "De l'un à l'autre : l'identité dans les romans de Toni Morrison", édité en 1999, est allé bien au-delà de son but initial. En effet, en vingt ans, les événements ont rendu nécessaire la réévalution de l'œuvre de celle qui restera l'une des plus grandes voix de ce début du XXIe siècle. Dans le monde chaotique qui est le nôtre, Toni Morrison apportait sa sagesse et sa solidité, elle était garante d'une humanité et d'une générosité qui semblent chaque jour en passe de disparaître. Pour notre Europe ébranlée dans ses fondements, recevoir une leçon de vie de la part de cette descendante d'esclaves n'est pas anodin : on lui a, certes, accordé le Prix Nobel, mais a-t-on bien pris la mesure de ce qu'elle écrit ? A-t-on bien réfléchi à l'importance et à la qualité du langage que nous avons en partage ? À la place essentielle qu'il occupe dans la découverte de soi, dans l'histoire et les échanges des hommes et des peuples, au moment où ils sont poussés à se mélanger et tristement, à se heurter, de plus en plus ? Cet ouvrage, nullement exhaustif, se veut une pierre de l'édifice qu'elle nous charge de construire tous ensemble. Elle nous en lègue la responsabilité.

Abstract

This study analyzes the relationship between race and genre in four of Toni Morrison’s novels: The Bluest Eye, Tar Baby, Jazz, and Beloved. Heinert argues how Morrison’s novels revise conventional generic forms such as bildungsroman, folktales, slave narratives, and the formal realism of the novel itself. This study goes beyond formalist analyses to show how these revisions expose the relationship between race, conventional generic forms, and the dominant culture. Morrison’s revisions critique the conventional roles of African Americans as subjects of and in the genre of the novel, and (re)write roles which instead privilege their subjectivity. This study provides readers with new ways of understanding Morrison’s novels. Whereas critics often fault Morrison for breaking with traditional forms and resisting resolution in her novels, this analysis show how Morrison’s revisions shift the narrative truth of the novel from its representation in conventional forms to its interpretation by the readers, who are responsible for constructing their own resolution or version of narrative truth. These revisions expose how the dominant culture has privileged specific forms of narration; in turn, these forms privilege the values of the dominant culture. Morrison’s novels attempt to undermine this privilege and rewrite the canon of American literature.
