“…By premising her discussion of Creole and creolization on the work of Jacques Lacan, Julia Kristeva, Nancy Chodorow, and Frederick Jameson-for example, how symbolic order is represented and transformed in language, or how the subject, the symbolic, and the semiotic unite/rupture maternal tongues-the author privileges white and Euro-American language-culture meanings. What is unmistakably missing from this discussion is the work of Caribbean scholarsparticularly Edouard Glissant-whose work on creolization examines black society, culture, and politics in a much more radical way (Glissant, 1989;Bernabé et al, 1990;Walcott, 2000). Reading beyond Euro-American linguistic and psychoanalytic theories, or setting them alongside the work of Caribbean scholars who work on creolization, would develop more fully the political and social advances made by black men and women in the Americas.…”

“…Creole orality, even repressed in its aesthetic expression, contains a whole system of countervalues, a counterculture; it witnesses ordinary genius applied to resistance, devoted to survival. (Bernabé et al 1990) It has been argued by some critics, for example, Michele Praeger, that 'Chamoiseau's theoretical reflections on the conteur (storyteller) are undeniably masculinist ' (2003: 112). James Arnold invokes the gender issue when he asks the question as to 'whether negritude was not a specifically male response to the pressures of colonialism from a clearly gendered perspective ' (1994: 483).…”

In the article 'Writing: Explicating and unfolding condensed textual practices in art and design' Sean Hall explores and questions our contemporary relationship with time in relation to the practice of writing. Our modern world in a western context, has left us Hall argues, feeling 'temporally impoverished'. This collaborative article deconstructs the term temporality and refashions it as temp(oralities). Our temp(oralities) is defined not only as the Caribbean artist/writer seeking to articulate a sense of time and/or timelessness, but also in the sense of the fragmented nature of time and the orality of the region that the Caribbean artist/writer always seek to interject into their work. Using Hall's idea of time, and the notion that we are 'all in search of lost time' as our point of departure, this article aims to explore the relationship between temp(orality) and the Caribbean artist/writer. We engage with the absent and fragmented historical narratives of the region to explore how Caribbean artists/writers have attempted to articulate their own

“…The term ''cultural citizenship'' is attributed to Renato Rosado who criticized interpretations of culture as stagnant and for misrepresenting the direction and dynamics of actual cultural change (1985, 1989cited in Flores and Benmayor 1995, 11). To examine cultural citizenship, the authors, in short, also introduced the concepts of agency, empowerment, and community as necessary for the social (re)production of citizenship forms.…”
