| Sumario: | The article provides an analysis of Simone Schwarz-Bart's novel "Ti Jean L'horizon." In the novel, the character Ti Jean finds himself stoned to death and then enters an imaginary world. The author of this article argues that the novel provides a fantasy world where time and space are collapsed in order to explore the complexities of trans-cultural identity in the French speaking Caribbean. Schwarz-Bart's analysis of identity and the concept of "rootedness" are contrasted to interpretations by Giles Deleuze and Felix Guattari and Edouard Glissant. |
