요약The final decade of the twentieth century encountered a surge in childhood memoirs published by Antillean writers. The past emerged as a place to explore personal biographies within a context of contested collective memory. While authors writing about childhood have always sought to see, hear, touch, taste, and smell the past, the senses as culturally learned phenomena rather than biological constants sparked a broad intellectual turn in the 1990s. During this time, interdisciplinary thinkers querying the sensory qualities of the past began to coalesce across diverse interests in postcolonial studies, gender and queer studies, and cultural studies; tying together the overarching focus on identity politics to sensory perception as culturally learned and mediated through forms of memory.Reading Antillean literary production in the wake of this cultural shift towards the senses directs our attention to an overlooked channel, rich in interdisciplinary theoretical discourse, converging at the site of the childhood autobiography-or recit d'enfance, as the genre is called in French. This knotted site of sensory memory in the recits d'enfance is the source of this project's inquiry. My project engages a dynamic practice whose contours are shaped by sensory poetics, postcolonial theories, and literary figures of memory, bringing them in relationship to form the mingled site of recits d'enfancewritten by Antillean authors Patrick Chamoiseau (b.1953, Martinique), Maryse Conde (b.1937, Guadeloupe), and Dany Laferriere (b.1953, Haiti).These three authors have been included in this dissertation because their recits d'enfance serve as exemplary and distinct reflections on the poetics of sensory memory. The memorial project itself is at stake in the sensory praxis of these recits: whose memories will tell the story of the past, and howwill narratives of the past be told? The senses are the vi phenomena through which the past lingers in often pre-linguistic and deeply embodied forms that do not always easily translate into textual records. Texts studied in this dissertation engage the representation of the senses at the site of twentieth-century Antillean childhood and thus enter into debates around contested histories of modernity and colonialism and the related questions of the production of memory and knowledge. Their works go beyond territorial interpretations of identity and history, collectively forming a valuable site for exploring the traces of the past at sensorial registers so often ignored.In this dissertation, I am interested in making both a theoretical and methodological contribution to the field of Caribbean studies by investigating the childhood sensorium in recits d'enfancefrom the contemporary French-speaking Caribbean. Rather than developing a "sensory aesthetic" this dissertation proposes a reading of memory retrieved through the representation of the senses in Antillean childhood memoir.Chamoiseau, Conde, and Laferriere represent a generation of Antillean writers whose reliance on sensory evidence and sensorial practices in writing recit d'enfance,shapes how they perceive both their personal past and the broader historical narrative. Their interconnected yet distinct approaches to engaging the senses in literature offer the attentive reader access to pasts that would otherwise be disregarded by colonial modes of remembrance, omitted in neglectful archives, or in danger of being forgotten.
