This discussion is with Dr. Jacqueline Couti, the Laurence H. Favrot Professor of French Studies at Rice university. Her research and teaching interests delve into the transatlantic and transnational interconnections between cultural productions from continental France and its now former colonies. 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. She is the author of Dangerous Creole Liaisons (2016) and “Lumina Sophie, Nineteenth-Century Martinique,” in Women Claiming Freedom: Gender, Race, and Liberty in the Americas. In this conversation, we discuss Sex, Sea, and Self: Sexuality and Nationalism in French Caribbean Discourses 1924-1948 published by Liverpool University Press in 2021. Our conversation here focuses on key concepts and arguments in the book where she puts Metropolitan France and the French Caribbean in dialogue exploring constructions of gender, race, sexuality, identity politics, and nationalism.
