Sergio Atzeni and Patrick Chamoiseau: shepherds of diversity

Abstract

This article is an attempt to bring Martiniquaise French-speaking literature closer to Sardinian literature. It aims to analyse how the aesthetic and ideological models theorised by Antillean writers can be exported outside the Francophonie, and to show that profound affinities may exist between different geographical, social and historical realities, as in the case of Sardinia and the Antilles. This study is based on a comparison between the poetic of Patrick Chamoiseau, a flagship writer of Creolity, and that of Sergio Atzeni, a Sardinian writer and translator of the Martinian author’s Texaco novel. Atzeni is one of the most innovative and original writers in the contemporary literary panorama of Sardinia. A sense of deep friendship and mutual appreciation binds him to Patrick Chamoiseau. Of the many poetic affinities between the two authors, only some will be discussed here; in particular, they concern the linguistic and stylistic dimension, as well as the identity speech developed by both writers. The present essay tries to approach Martini’s French-speaking literature to Sardinian literature. In particular, it aims at analysing how the aesthetic and ideological models used by West Indian authors can be exported out of French-speaking areas, and to show the existence of deep affinities between different geographical, social and historical realities, as in the case of Sardinia and French West Indies. This study is conducted from a comparison between the poetics of Patrick Chamoiseau, a flagship writer of Creoleness, and of Sergio Atzeni, a Sardinian writer and translator of Chamoiseur’s novel Texaco. Atzeni is one of the most forward-looking and original authors of the immediate literary panorama of Sardinia, and a feeling of deep friends and mutual respect him to Patrick Chamoiseau. Among the many POETIC affinities between the two authors, this study wishes to point out only some of them, notably concerning the linguistic and stylistic dimension as well as the identity discourse developed by the two writers.
