Abstract
Mariette Monpierre's and Michel Reinette’s 2022 documentary, Les Derniers Blancs Matignon de Guadeloupe, and Estelle-Sarah Bulle’s 2018 novel, Là, où les chien aboient par la queue emblematize the complexities involved in reimagining postcolonial identities in Guadeloupe, especially that of the Blancs-Matignon. They are a mostly White, endogamous, and isolated group who have had a discreet existence in the thickly forested inland region of Grands-Fonds du Moule since the late 1600s. Through an analysis of the documentary and parts of the novel, the article explores historical, cultural, and linguistic convergences between the Blancs-Matignon and the majority Black and mixed-race population of Guadeloupe. The identity politics of weaving the narratives of the Blancs-Matignon into the matrix of Guadeloupe's contemporary society will also be examined.
玛丽埃特-蒙皮耶尔（Mariette Monpierre）和米歇尔-莱内特（Michel Reinette）于 2022 年拍摄的纪录片《瓜德罗普岛的白种马蒂尼翁》（Les Derniers Blancs Matignon de Guadeloupe）以及埃斯特尔-萨拉-布尔（Estelle-Sarah Bulle）于 2018 年创作的小说《Là, où les chien aboient par la queue》象征着重新想象瓜德罗普岛后殖民身份所涉及的复杂性，尤其是白种马蒂尼翁人的身份。自 1600 年代末以来，他们一直生活在森林茂密的内陆地区 Grands-Fonds du Moule，他们大多是白人，与世隔绝。通过对纪录片和小说部分内容的分析，文章探讨了白马提翁人与瓜德罗普岛上大多数黑人和混血人口之间在历史、文化和语言上的趋同性。文章还将探讨将布朗斯-马蒂尼翁人的叙事编织到瓜德罗普岛当代社会矩阵中的身份政治。
