Altérité d’aliénation coloniale. Le drame de la rencontre impossible entre sujets colonisés haïtiens et dominicains
The dichotomous reality of the colonial situation, as analyzed by Fanon, also dichotomizes the category of otherness.

| description | The dichotomous reality of the colonial situation, as analyzed by Fanon, also dichotomizes the category of otherness. In the colonial context, there is the Other and the other, and between the two, a border to which various forms of violence are linked. The Other constitutes the negative pole of the undesirable and the other, the positive pole of the desirable. Using the Haitian-Dominican relationship as a framework for analysis, I show that this dichotomous character of otherness survives in the postcolonial world in the pathological form of an alteritarian trichotomy, making any authentic encounter between Dominican and Haitian alienated subjects impossible. Inspired by Frantz Fanon, I make the solution of the problem depend first of all on a self-abolition initiative on the part of the subject most “concerned”, namely the black or Haitian subject. |
