514. Jacqueline Couti, Part 2.

514. Part 2 of our conversation with Jacqueline Couti about her research into Creole folktale, "Djabe's Marriage." "Jacqueline

Couti works in the area of French and
Francophone Studies. Her research and teaching
interests delve into the transatlantic and
transnational interconnections between cultural
productions from continental France and its now
former colonies. Her work explores constructions
of gender, race, sexuality, identity politics,
and nationalism. A central theme of her research
is how local knowledge in the colonial and
post-colonial eras has shaped the literatures,
and the cultural awareness of the self, in
former French colonies through specific
representations of sexuality" (Rice

University).
