The Caribbean is a crossroads of cultures; East Indian, indigenous, French, Spanish, English and dozens of African cultures intermingle. The artistic and religious forms which emerge are intensely spiritual, politically active, and uniquely syncretic. This course will explore poetry and fiction by such writers as Aimé Césaire, Derek Walcott, Patrick Chamoiseau, Simone Schwarzbart, Pierre Clitandre and Edwidge Dandicat, and ritualized visual and installation arts from Haiti and Cuba . We will discuss the presence and meaning of religious symbolism from such syncretie Africa-based religions as Haitian vaudou in Caribbean arts, and issues of identity, language, and art as a 'miraculous weapon'. Students will develop either a research project in culture, literature or religion, or a creative project in writing on the visual arts.
