Beskrivelse

This book focuses on Derek Walcott's literary and artistic wor(l)d. Western postcolonial critique has depicted the Nobel Prize laureate as one of the greatest poets of the 20th century world. This, however, devalues his fundamental contribution to the realm of Caribbean theatre and art. The text examines Walcott's multimodal production, a combination of West Indian folkloric forms and Western-oriented structures and themes, by discussing three of his works-two plays, The Joker of Seville and Pantomime, and a long poem, Tiepolo's Hound. These epitomise respectively a response to Spanish, English, and French cultural legacies in the New World as postcolonial re-writings of Don Juan, Robinson Crusoe, and Camille Pissarro's stories. Following Quijano and Mignolo's decolonial approaches and Riane Eisler's partnership perspective, the book uncovers the strategies used by Walcott to respond to the colonial matrix of power.
