- W2395962815 abstract "Why should this punishment have made a lasting impression on me, redolent as it was in every way of the relationship between captor and captive, master and slave, with its motif of the big and the small, the powerful and the powerless, the strong and the weak .. ? Although preoccupations with sexual desire and the sexualized body have driven her work from the beginning, the issue of sexuality has not yet been sufficiently addressed in the novels of Jamaica Kincaid.' In Lucy, example, a young AfroCaribbean woman launches her own sexual adventures, taking on herself the identity of the European desiring adventurer after the fashion of a Paul Gauguin, thereby challenging fundamental conditions the sexuality of colonialism, of dominance and submission.2 And now with Autobiography of My Mother, readers confront a new direction in the Kincaidian script: a depiction of a scene of sadomasochism, with an Afro-Carib woman bound by her white European lover, then following the steps typical of S/M psychodrama. Blacks in Kincaid's novel are those for whom history had been a long, dark room, which made them hate silence (62). The must consequently be broken by a designated crier, .. . who repeats ... the list of violations, the bad deeds (60). novel may be read, therefore, as the act of breaking silence, the crier using pain and punishment to demonstrate the brutality of history written ineradicably onto the bodies of West Indian people. However, the text sends conflicting signals, frequently indicating that pain is liberating, an experience that through control and pushing the boundaries of discipline permits a knowledge of the body inaccessible via the constraints of more socially sanctioned sexual activity. Pain, or what one does with it, is the locus of meaning in the novel, in that through it the character Xuela both takes on and rescripts a scene painful in memory, and simultaneously repossesses her own objectified body. following will focus on a single highly charged scene in the novel. We will first recount the scene. Then we will provide background and a reading of the scene according to S/M theory. Finally, we will theorize possible intersections of S/M and colonialism as it applies to a major contemporary West Indian author." @default.
