Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Caribbean history is marked by the forced migration of slaves from Africa via the Atlantic slave trade, the forced migration of contract laborers from Asia that followed the abolition of slavery, and finally, the massive increase in emigration from the Caribbean to the European metropolises, Canada, and the United States that began in the mid-20th century. Due to this experience, the Caribbean became a producer of – and a precursor to – transcultural theories and poetics such as creolization. Indeed, Caribbean literature and theory has traditionally focused not on migration but rather on the state of society once migration has occurred, and thus on creolization . After outlining the connection between World Literature and migration in selected theoretical approaches from Bhabha to Glissant, this paper analyzes creolization processes and their literary implementation in Maryse Condé’s novel Traversée de la mangrove (1989) and V.S. Naipaul’s A House for Mr. Biswas (1961). It discusses whether creolization can be viewed as a postmigrant perspective and whether, from a postmigrant perspective, the concept of “New World Literature” (Sturm-Trigonakis) is becoming obsolete.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
