Resumen
BONFIGLIO, Florencia. El Bildungsroman caribeño y los comienzos de la escritura de mujeres: Annie John (1983) de Jamaica Kincaid y Moi Tituba, sorcière. Noire de Salem (1986) de Maryse Condé. CELEHIS [online]. 2019, n.37, pp.1-5. ISSN 2313-9463.
This article analyzes the transforming treatment exerted by Caribbean women's narrative on Bildungsroman and autobiography as genres privileged by Black writing since its anti-slavery beginnings. The analysis focuses on two renowned novels from the Anglophone and Francophone Caribbean published in the 1980s: Annie John (1983) by Jamaica Kincaid and Moi, Tituba, sorcière. Noire de Salem by Maryse Condé (1986). In both of them, apart from obvious differences which will be considered, we will observe the construction of a narrative voice which distances from expected modalities denouncing oppression and which rejects in a similar way the colonial and patriarchal matrix of the Bildungsroman model, this understood as a paradigmatic structure of formation of masculinity and femininity in lettered modernity. Both novels, as we will see, radically leave conventions behind, discarding exemplary uses characteristic of the anti-colonial tradition through an innovative work with narrative material and literary language.
