Pouvoir de mort et art de la Relation : une étude de Moi, Tituba sorcière… de Maryse Condé

Abstract

Power of death and art of Relation: a study of Moi, Tituba sorcière… by Maryse Condé This study of the well-known novel Moi, Tituba sorcière… Noire de Salem (1986) by Maryse Condé will focus on the role of death in the narration. We will see how two different conceptions of death will here be in action: one, where death is nothing but a moment between two lives that still connect; the other, where death is used to enhance the power of white man. The aim is to see how Tituba reacts to the oppression by building a different approach to people, a path that is the “Relation” Edouard Glissant wrote about.
