DESCRIPTION:Part of the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies s
 eminar series.\n\nAbstract: The national literatures of the Guianas\, wh
 en contrasted with Amerindian oratures\, present some striking continuit
 ies. Departing from the recurrent use of the regionally specific Amerind
 ian notion of kanaima\, the analysis of chosen literary texts reveals th
 eir aesthetic projects within literary tradition. Although produced in d
 ifferent time/spaces and using a variety of methods\, these fictional li
 teratures present the same underlying objective: to challenge the establ
 ished canon and current national culture by including Amerindian practic
 es and philosophies. They propose a modern and singular national identit
 y based on principles of difference. Going through the research outcome 
 of each country studied – Guyana\, Suriname\, Venezuela and Brazil – the
  presentation aims to draft a comparative literary panorama of the regio
 n\, under the light of ethnographic accounts.\n
