Poetics of parody: taxonomy and pragmatics of parodic discourse.
Abstract
This research project has to lead to the development of a three-dimensional open model which is able, on the basis of a shared and generally acceptable framework, 1) to draw up the boundaries of different forms of refraction within a single consistent taxonomy, inexistent today; 2) to develop and exploit new sub-corpora, underrepresented today in research on parody; and 3) to study and to compare for the first time in a consistent manner several forms of parodic discourse.Researcher(s)

(H)histoires d'outre-merès: French-Caribbean Women Literature in an Afro-Caribbean, Afro-American, and Post-Colonial Perspective (Maryse Condé, André and Simone Schwarz-Bart, Paule Marshall and Toni Morrison)
Abstract
In this project I trace a literary Middle Passage, confronting the 'historical' novels of Maryse Condé, André and Simone Schwarz-Bart with those of Afro-Caribbean Paule Marshall and African-American Toni Morrison (Nobel Price 1993). My research opens up new horizons in literary criticism where, in respect of postcolonial literature, the francophone and anglophone world still stand apart from each other. Dislocation and fragmentation, the search for wholeness, the heritage of slavery and colonisation are fundamental topics in the novels of these authors who all remember 'the disremembered and unaccounted for' (Morrison). A comparative perspective illustrates the continuity in style, form and topics between the novels under scrutiny.Researcher(s)
