The Mythology of the Doudou: Sexualizing Black Female Bodies, Constructing Culture and Nation in the French Caribbean.

Lecture by Dr. Jacqueline Couti, Assistant Professor of French and Francophone Studies

 

 

Jacqueline Couti, an assistant professor of French and Francophone Studies in the Department of Modern and Classical Languages, Literatures and Cultures at the University of Kentucky, will discuss how the development of "doudou," a Creole term in the French Caribbean, was adopted by 19th century European scholars to rewrite national identity in the  then French colony of Martinique. Martinique is now a department, which is an administrative district of France.
