초록
This research investigates the alternative modernist aspect in Aimé Césaire’s A Tempest. A Tempest, a rewriting of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, deals with the problem of colonialism with the re-created resistant protagonist Caliban. Rewriting is a method developed from the surrealist language in Césaire’s previous poetries. This theatre is concerned with the problem of colonized identity and emancipating history through the question of the language. Caliban’s ‘Freedom now’ is pronounced with the Swahili ‘Uhuru’, and Caribbean traditional gods such as Shango and Eshu appear as the possibility of alternative history. Finally, Caliban leaves the island, leaving Prospero destroyed. This home leaving Caliban shows Césaire’s universal modernist strategy far from being confined to the particular nativism.
Abstract
This research investigates the alternative modernist aspect in Aimé Césaire’s A Tempest. A Tempest, a rewriting of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, deals with the problem of colonialism with the re-created resistant protagonist Caliban. Rewriting is a method developed from the surrealist language in Césaire’s previous poetries. This theatre is concerned with the problem of colonized identity and emancipating history through the question of the language. Caliban’s ‘Freedom now’ is pronounced with the Swahili ‘Uhuru’, and Caribbean traditional gods such as Shango and Eshu appear as the possibility of alternative history. Finally, Caliban leaves the island, leaving Prospero destroyed. This home leaving Caliban shows Césaire’s universal modernist strategy far from being confined to the particular nativism.
