Abstract
ABSTRACT: On account of her particular reading of surrealism, this essay contends that Suzanne Césaire’s intellectual production is best understood not as heralding later strains of thought (such as Glissant’s or ecocriticism), but as part of the diverse practices of critical theory contemporary to her. To support this thesis, this article studies the coincidences and differences between her ideas on the notion of mimicry and those of Roger Callois, leading to a more complex understanding of her cardinal notion of camouflage.
期刊介绍：
Founded in 1970, Research in African Literatures is the premier journal of African literary studies worldwide and provides a forum in English for research on the oral and written literatures of Africa, as well as information on African publishing, announcements of importance to Africanists, and notes and queries of literary interest. Reviews of current scholarly books are included in every issue, often presented as review essays, and a forum offers readers the opportunity to respond to issues raised in articles and book reviews.
