Les éléments / The Elements de Kevin Killian
No full textKevin Killian, The Elements, Nantes, Joca Seria, 2017Livre de poèmes de Kevin Killian traduits par Abigail Lang, Vincent Broqua, Olivier Brossard, édition bilingue. K pour Kevin et pour Killian. Et pour le lecteur, l’étrange alphabet des Éléments est l’occasion de potasser une nouvelle chimie littéraire. Il n’est pas question ici de réduire le réel à une classification stricte : les éléments et leurs lettres sont au contraire prétextes à l’exploration d’une matière biographique. Se frayant un chemin dans la culture américaine et occidentale de Platon à Beyoncé, au gré de souvenirs personnels et collectifs heureux et douloureux, Kevin Killian offre la poésie comme solution, principe de dérive du langage et possibilité de mélange de ses éléments. La table est alors moins un espace fermé que celui, ouvert, de l’écriture : c’est la table à laquelle on s’assied pour continuer à parler ensemble.Auteur d’une poésie qui s’inspire de Dario Argento pour rendre compte du SIDA ou prend Kylie Minogue pour muse, de récits érotiques gay à succès, rédacteur de plusieurs milliers de commentaires clients sur Amazon, Kevin Killian est une figure incontournable de la scène artistique de San Francisco. Il y a cofondé le Poets Theater et promeut infatigablement les artistes LGBT menacés d’oubli, à commencer par Jack Spicer dont il a édité les œuvres complètes (avec Peter Gizzi), et à qui il a consacré une biographie (avec Lewis Ellingham)

Colour, class and gender in post-emancipation St. Vincent, 1834-1884
Get PDFThis thesis examines the experiences of the inhabitants of
St. Vincent during the first fifty years of freedom. It
examines social changes, work opportunities and areas of
conflicts that developed during the period. It also details
the effects of the declining economy on the islanders. The
main subjects of the thesis are the agricultural labourers
who were freed from slavery. It investigates their working
lives, their attempts to achieve independent status as
freeholders and their family and religious experiences. It
also examines the changing attitudes towards them that were
held by the planter class, the clergy and colonial
officials, and how these views influenced the formation of a
free society. In particular, the thesis investigates how
perspectives of race, class and gender differed within the
island, and how these divergencies created hostilities
between different social groups often leading to unrest.
While the main focus of the thesis is St. Vincent, it
also compares conditions in St. Vincent with other Caribbean
islands and Britain. This has helped illustrate how some
local conditions, such as the lack of available land,
ineffective plantation management and economic factors,
reduced the opportunities for the freed people of St.
Vincent. However, it also illustrates a commonality of
experiences among the poor in both the Caribbean and
Britain. It illustrates how the lives of the poor in the
Caribbean were often restricted by the same class and gender
biases experienced in Britain, as well as by racial
prejudices held by the ruling authorities.
The thesis relies on a variety of source material.
Most of the primary sources were official Colonial Office
dispatches, newspapers and Wesleyan missionary letters and
reports. Throughout the thesis, I have questioned the
motivations of the writers of these documents and
interpreted the discourses they employed. I have also
attempted to place the findings of my research within
current debates among Caribbean historians of the postemancipation
period to illustrate the importance of further
gender analysis and research
