Louis-Philippe Dalembert, «vagabond jusqu’au bout de la fatigue»
No full textThe Haitian novelist and poet Louis-Philippe Dalembert (Port-au-Prince, 1962) has developed in his works of fiction the concept of vagabondage as a literary projection of his biographical wandering through multiple spaces. The aim of this essay is to study the presence of vagabondage and its distinctive features in those novels written by Dalembert that reflect the writer’s perpetual motion: Le Crayon du bon Dieu n’a pas de gomme (1996), L’Autre face de la mer (1998), L’Île du bout des rêves (2003), Les dieux voyagent la nuit (2006). The main characters are constantly moving, they are cosmopolitan wanderers who belong to many places at the same time, just like Dalembert himself. By analyzing the representation of movement in these fictions, we will show that the notion of vagabondage is depicted by the author as a positive and meaningful opportunity for the vagabond who travels across countries, languages and cultures

Mur Méditerranée de Louis-Philippe Dalembert : une réécriture transculturelle du topos de la traversée maritime, au prisme de la crise migratoire / Mur Méditerranée by Louis-Philippe Dalembert : A Transcultural Rewriting of the topos of the Sea Crossing, through the Prism of the Migratory Crisis
No full textRésumé : Mur Méditerranée de Louis-Philippe Dalembert est bâti sur le topos de la traversée maritime, interdite et périlleuse, effectuée par trois personnages féminins. Le topos place ce roman au cœur d’un ensemble de textes et requiert une lecture comparatiste. Il révèle alors une structure extrêmement dynamique, narrative et argumentative, qui accueille les échos des autres traversées collectives (exode du peuple juif, traite négrière, exil haïtien) offrant une variante au vagabondage de l’auteur haïtien. La réécriture transculturelle de ce motif permet de questionner la crise migratoire contemporaine tout en redéfinissant le sens de l’exil dans la mondialisation.Mots clés : exil et traversée Mtime ; topos littéraire ; réécriture transculturelle ; migration féminine ; frontières.Abstract : Mur Méditerranée by Louis-Philippe Dalembert is built on the topos of the forbidden and perilous maritime crossing, carried out by three female characters. The topos places this novel at the heart of a set of texts and requires comparative reading. It then reveals an extremely dynamic, narrative and argumentative structure, which receives the echoes of other collective crossings (exodus of the Jewish people, slave trade, Haitian exile) offering a variant to the “vagabondage” of the Haitian author. The transcultural rewriting of this motif allows us to question the contemporary migration crisis while redefining the meaning of exile.Keywords: exile and sea crossing; literary topos; transcultural rewriting; female migration; borders
"Jubanidad" in Before the shadows fade away by Louis-Philippe Dalembert
No full textAbstract: In one of his latest novels to date, Avant que les ombres s'effacent, Louis-Philippe Dalembert, a Haitian born author living in Paris, embraces the migration of Jews fleeing Nazism to the Caribbean. The novel plays on the riff generated by Holocaust survivors and Afro-Caribbeans having faced the same dreadful year. Generally overlooked in the Caribbean, the generational lap between relatives who have become Caribbean is at the core of Avant que les ombres s'effacent. The novel revisits the forgotten episode of the 'S.S. St. Louis' who brought 900 Jews to Cuba in 1939, but who were refused to disembark. Haiti, by contrast, warmly welcomed numbers of persecuted. Avant que les ombres s'effacent relates the field of postcolonial studies with Jewish and memory studies
Pragmatic Considerations in Mixed Music: a Case Study of La Rage
No full textWith access to powerful real-time DSP languages now easier than ever, the new generation of mixed music composers are able to manage both sides of the coin: they have the programming skills and the compositional concerns that were traditionally the responsibility of two different persons. This brings more and more sophisticated integration of technical resources and compositional gestures. A good example of such integration is the author’s piece La Rage. In the light of general comments on the seamless integration of technology in this piece, the author, by discussing how compositional and technical concerns interact in his process of creation, tries to pinpoint key considerations that help him achieve this. He proposes two major categories, portability and adaptability, and explains how they were addressed in this specific work

L’ENJEU DE L’ÉCRITURE DANS MER MÉDITERRANÉE DE LOUIS-PHILIPPE DALEMBERT: DÉNONCIATION OU MISE EN GARDE?
No full textLouis-Philippe Dalembert, a Mauritian writer, published in 2019 his novel Mur Méditerranée that sheds the light on an actual issue: the migration crisis. To write this novel, the author was inspired by a real event that occurred in July 2014: the rescue story of illegal migrants by the Danish oil tanker Torm Lotte. In his novel, Louis-Philippe Dalembert portrays three women: Sembar Eritrean, Chochana the Nigerian, and Dima the Syrian; each of them flees the violence that rages in her country and throws herself into a ship that crosses the Mediterranean and leads migrants to Europe. Dalembert, deeply touched by the tragedy of illegal migration, denounces the brutality of smugglers, pitying the fate of migrants deceived by the European dream. The novel raises the issue of the writer\u27s responsibility in a changing world: what is his purpose from presenting the suffering of passengers in details, the nightmare they endure on one hand and the horror of Mafia who exploit them on the other hand? Does he want to ring alarm bells, or to advice the candidates in exile to stay in their country and save their dignity and their humanity? Does he want to denounce mafia and the discrimination and racism of the extreme right in Europe? In order to answer these questions, we will proceed in a social analysis, as it appears in the novel to study the responsibility of the writer; we will also refer to the functions of language because the transmitted message expresses directly emotional reactions of the narrator, facing the suffering of the passengers, to impose a precise reaction from the receiver of the message, while showing that the act of inscribing this human tragedy into literature makes the characters so close and so human and that social responsibility goes beyond the writer\u27s frame to engage the different actors in society.
