Black homosexuality, Maryse Condé, Antillean theaterAbstract
The present work brings discusses the text Comme deux frères by Maryse Condé regarding the poetics of insinuation. The author brings both in the theme and in the construction of the dramatic text the issue of homosexuality. To prove this, it is initially studied the writer's relationship with homosexuality, then it is exposed what the Antillean sexist discourse is and, finally, the textual construction of the play is examined in detail. She sees that the poetics of insinuation in the work takes place, in particular, through the resources of false dialogue, expressive blocking, the various uses of the point of reticence and sexual metaphors. In this text, Maryse Condé expresses the taboo of Antillean homosexuality within the framework of a classic French-language dramaturgy.
