Descrição
Resumo:In his archives and through testimonies of his wife, André SchwarzBart showed a strong interest in anthropological research, which can be measured in his work during his stays in Guyana and Senegal or even in Guadeloupe, the Caribbean. The anthropological basis of André and Simone Schwarz-Bart's novels will be analyzed in this article, with emphasis on Caribbean and Ashkenazi references, assessing their important contribution to anthropological research. Using examples from Le Dernier des Juste, L'Étoile du matin, Pluie et vent sur Télumée Miracle, the universal anthropological search for these communities in a “contact zone” will be demonstrated: initiation rituals, birth ceremonies and funerals, the spiritual quest, the trance phenomenon and alter/native religions.
