The Role of Dev Virahsawmy in Establishing Mauritian Literature

近年来，关于“克里奥尔语”的写作一直是一个鼓舞人心的研究课题。它的意思已经从在西印度群岛等地出生并归化入籍的人，扩展到那些前殖民地所说的语言。现在有各种各样关于“克里奥尔语”的文章，甚至那些本身就是克里奥尔人的人也写了。有一些基本问题需要探讨：什么是克里奥尔语？克里奥尔人是谁？克里奥尔语是什么语言？谁是该语言的合法拥有者，我们如何定义克里奥尔身份？毛里求斯作为一个克里奥尔民族的叙述是什么？关于克里奥尔人的叙述本身是否为一个多元文化国家的文学增添了一些力量？目前在毛里求斯有一位印度裔作家试图回答这些问题。毛里求斯是一个文化混合的国家，汇集了不同的文化传统。了解这一点有助于我们将分散的点连接起来，形成他们的家园毛里求斯。一位用克里奥尔语创作的作家在统一这些点和创造他们的家园方面发挥了重要作用。本研究显示毛里求斯的文化翻译和克里奥尔身份问题。我特别关注Dev Virahsawmy的角色，并检视毛里求斯的文化与社会标记，以及混杂性是如何透过Vfrahsawmy的视角来定义的，他认为克里奥尔语，也就是莫里西亚语，将会是毛里求斯未来的新面貌。

In recent years an inspiring subject for study has been the writing on "Creole." The meaning has been extended from a person born and naturalized in the West Indies, etc., but of European or of African to the language spoken in those ex-colonies. There is now a variety of writing about "Creole," even by those who themselves are Creoles. There are some fundamental questions to be explored: What is Creole? Who is Creole? What is the language of Creole? Who is the rightful owner of the language and how can we define Creole identity? What is the narrative of Mauritius as a Creole nation? Do the narratives on Creoles by themselves add some force to the literature of a multicultural nation? In Mauritius at the present time there is an Indian descent writer who has endeavored to answer those questions.Mauritius is a country of cultural hybrids who bring together dissimilar cultural traditions. Understanding this helps us to connect the scattered dots, to make the lines that form their homeland, Mauritius. One writer who creates in Creole language plays a significant role in uniting the dots and making their homeland. This research shows issues of cultural translations and Creole identities in Mauritius. I look specifically at the role of Dev Virahsawmy and examine how cultural and social markers, and hybridity in Mauritius get defined through the lens of Vfrahsawmy who has an idea that Creole language, that is, Morisien, as the new condition of the future Mauritius.
