Contre-postcolonialité de Chateaubriand et Victor Hugo Discours littéraire et altérité minimale
Against-postcoloniality of Chateaubriand and Hugo. Literary Discourse and Minimum Otherness

Summary/Abstract: The present article examines the works of Chateaubriand (Itinéraire de Paris à Jérusalem) and Victor Hugo (Les Orientales and Bug-Jargal), focusing on what they reveal about Eastern and Caribbean “Otherness.” In other words, these two authors build a vision of the Other that can be positioned against postcolonialism, as the discourse they inscribe themselves in is characteristic of domination whose effects are a form of violence.
