Recherches sur les univers de sens (post)coloniaux – Un essai réflexif sur la décolonisation des savoirs

This paper offers a reflexive approach on research conducted in (post)colonial Caribbean cultural formation. It starts from the issue raised both by the narratology paradigm in anthropology and by post- or decolonial critique, which have questioned the position of the author with regards to the text...

description This paper offers a reflexive approach on research conducted in (post)colonial Caribbean cultural formation. It starts from the issue raised both by the narratology paradigm in anthropology and by post- or decolonial critique, which have questioned the position of the author with regards to the text, as well as the asymmetry found in the relationship between the researcher and her/his interlocutors. The focus is placed on the “post-fieldwork” writing phase. It is argued that within the academic sphere, the decolonization of knowledge exists through two interdependent orders. One, rather internal to the discourse produced in this sphere, permits the deconstruction of colonial categories to a certain extent, provided that the normative discursivity of the postcolonial moment is carried out. The other, rather external to the discourse, deals with the context of enunciation of the discourse. It ensures its acceptability, as well as its proper circulation and reception within the “scientific community”.
