Creolization and Its Discontents

Abstract: In the past two decades, analogies drawn from supposedly Caribbean processes of creolization have begun to command increasing interest in anthropology. Examining historical as well as contemporary social uses of this terminology in its region of origin, as well as linguistic, sociocultural, and archaeological extrapolations from such usages, this review argues that although, as an analytical metaphor, "creolization" may appear to remedy certain deficits in long-standing anthropological agendas, the current unr… Show more

“…Scholarship debating and elaborating the idea of creolization and applying it throughout the world has burgeoned in the past decade (e.g., Khan 2007, lionnet and Shih 2011, Palmie 2006, Stewart 2007. While fully fleshing out these controversies is beyond the scope of this article, I build upon Trouillot's (2006) point that in the plantation economies of the 17th and 18th century Caribbean, the emergence of cultural practices that were Afro-American was inherently creative because the system that contained African-descended peoples did not see them as human, let alone as culture-bearing subjects.…”

“…Des « situations créoles » ont, en effet, été repérées en Colombie, en Argentine, voire au Japon (Célius 2006). Stephan Palmié (2006) a confronté les applications de ce concept dans des recherches portant sur des régions aussi éloignées de l'univers caribéen que la Gaule antique, l'Italie du Nord, l'Inde du Sud ou les îles Salomon. La métaphore de la créolisation, qui tantôt englobe tantôt déborde les concepts d'acculturation, de transnationalisme ou de mondialisation, est généralement utilisée pour rendre compte, à partir de la naissance de langues issues du creuset colonial, des métissages raciaux ou des mécanismes sous-jacents aux syncrétismes religieux.…”

“…Nous pensons, avec plusieurs auteurs (Khan 2007 ;Palmié 2006 ;Harris & Rampton 2002), que l'absence de véritables assises empiriques du concept de créolisation risque de le dépouiller de tout fondement. Ce manque de connaissances concrètes quant à sa nature et aux conditions de son évolution explique, en partie, les dérives dans les usages métaphoriques qui en sont faits.…”

“…Estos términos no sólo son categorías empíricas, sino que a menudo son narrativos de autenticidad que tienen significado al establecer un contraste con la gente y las prácticas que caen fuera de sus límites (Palmié 2006). En muchas partes de América latina y el Caribe, los sujetos nacionales se han construidos como "mestizos" (en países hispano-hablantes) o "creoles" (en el Caribe anglófono y francófono), mientras que ciertos tipos de personas quedan excluidas de estas categorías (Khan 2001).…”
