French Language-Parole Créole and the Creolizing Discourse: Oraliture Rescuing the Dominated Language in Chamoiseau’s Solibo Magnifique
Main Article Content
In societies where colonial heritage is strong, a problem arises in rescuing voices excluded by the dominant culture and the struggle for spaces within the discursive community. It becomes necessary to create a new discourse that reflects this search: Patrick Chamoiseau and creolity writers build a discursive space through the “creolizing discourse,” whose characteristics were theorized by Chamoiseau, building on the work of Édouard Glissant. In this essay, I will center my analysis on some aspects of the creolizing discourse contained in Solibo Magnifique, as an example of the construction of a language that in turn creates the object the discourse will deal with.
