Document Summary
Postmodernism: mixing high art with low culture. We do the same thing every day: fundamentally contradictory, resolutely historical, and inescapably political. Does not long for the past: historiographic metafiction. Fiction that makes you aware that it is fiction: heteroglossia. Reference of frankienstien in the feminists go swimming. Get country, occupy with settlers, exploit it economically. Caribbean is beautiful but tainted by colonialism: more wild than england. Antoinetta thinks that england is like a cardboard box. Problems with how she feels in jamaica: outsider, afraid, people watch her, forest sounds dangerous. Various languages spoken: caused by colonizers. Presenting story in english negate or exclude the island"s stories: she speaks english more in her life. Depth in afro-caribbean"s: not lots of depth given to characters of this decent, christophine given detail but no one else is given detail. All details given is in relation to antoinetta.
