Talawa Women: New Caribbean Versioning(s) of Female Biblical Narratives

尽管它在加勒比文化中无处不在，但很少有批评性的话语涉及詹姆斯国王圣经对当代加勒比诗歌的影响。通过对比洛娜·古迪逊、凯米勒、帕姆·末底改和夸梅·道斯的作品，以及充斥在文学作品中的人物和比喻，我将探讨这种霸权文本的影响。创造性的组成部分是通过重新想象女性圣经人物，如莉莉丝的声音是缺席的经文。关键因素利用散居理论，特别是斯图尔特霍尔的专着，谈判加勒比身份（1993年），和令人惊讶的有限的机构，可利用的文献对这个被忽视的问题。

Despite its ubiquitous presence in Caribbean culture there is little critical discourse addressing the influence of the King James Bible on contemporary Caribbean poetry. By contrasting the work of Lorna Goodison, Kei Miller, Pam Mordecai and Kwame Dawes, and the characters and tropes that populate the literature, I will explore the impact of this hegemonic text. The creative component is informed by reimagining female Biblical characters such as Lilith whose voice is absent from scripture. The critical element utilizes diaspora theory particularly Stuart Hall's monograph, Negotiating Caribbean Identities (1993), and the surprisingly limited body of available literature on this neglected subject.
