Abstract (english)
The purpose for this paper is to re-evaluate migratory, transnational and transcultural experience(s) through comparative analysis, literary and visual, between Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie’s ‘Americanah’ and Romuald Hazoumé’s ‘Wax Bandana’, from Nigeria and Benin respectively. The problems associated with such an examination relate to the polemic debate regarding action v. agency, or the individual v. discourse. The text or work, much like the postcolonial subject is caught between worlds as exemplary in both Adichie and Hazoumé’s work and their character’s transnational, transcultural experience(s). Using an interdisciplinary methodology that combines both literary and visual arts discourses, this paper argues against any notion of a “fixed” or hybrid identity, arguing in its stead for the Derridean notion of the “singular instabililty” that oscillates between spheres of influence, whereby the transnational, transcultural, postcolonial subjectivity of the character(s) present in the respective work will become identified as such.
