Les #créolistes aiment bien l'idée des marqueurs dans les #créoles, mais c'est vraiment un cas d'exoticiser le parler d'autrui. Un marqueur est peu souvent concevoir comme une catégorie lexicale, laissé vague, et les critères quand il est ainsi conçu sont sans motivations, tandis qu'une analyse semblable à celle de son lexificateur suffirait. DeGraff (2005) a averti des maux de cet exceptionnalisme #créole.

"Mais l’officiel pour mon Esternome de papa c’était cette nègresclave qu’il tenait dans ses bras et qu’il ne lâchait plus. Elle lui avait été offerte par le vent d’allégresse. Sa bouche s’était posée sur la sienne, il l’avait embrassé tchoup, elle l’avait embrassé, ils s’embrassaient encore en hurlant Pa ni mèt ankô ! Il n’y a plus de Maîtres !… Il y eut dans leurs doigts l’enlacement des charpentes. Dans leur cœur, il y eut la prise d’une maçonnerie. Il fut content d’elle. Elle fut contente de lui. Ils coururent ensemble à travers la place comme courent les enfants, questionnant par ici et questionnant par là, écoutant les milâtes qui tenaient grandes tirades dans des rondes enfiévrées, riant des vieux békés qui déboulaient des mornes en voitures affolées."
— Patrick Chamoiseau: Texaco
La littérature de Patrick Chamoiseau se déguste comme un met délicieux. Les mots, vivants, créoles, aux accents multiples et innombrables, chantent à nos oreilles. Quelle merveille !

Gratien Midonet – Fô Ou Tchimbi – Decision (1989, Martinique)
As randomly chosen by survey[1] on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 718 on The List, submitted by myself (buffyleigh).
At the beginning of this project, after we had amassed a few hundred album titles for The List and started to see where there were gaps, a few of us went searching around for gems that we maybe weren’t all that familiar with, but knew had to be included. This was one such artist I stumbled on, our only artist representing the Caribbean island of Martinique (in the French West Indies/Antilles).
I had a hard time deciding which of Midonet’s four albums to include, and still think maybe I should have picked his first, Ven en Lévé (1979). The title track of that one seems to have been an anthem of sorts for Martinique’s independence movement, and was apparently banned from French radio for 2 years. But then the second and third albums – L’Inité (1980) and Bourg La Folie (1984; a soundtrack to a since lost film by Antillean director Benjamin Jules Rosette) – as well as this one are all excellent, all highlight Midonet’s Creole lyricism, and all have their particular charms. And so, I simply went with the one that I thought would perhaps entice people to go back and check out the rest of the discography.
Anyway, if descriptions like “tropical acid folk”, “cosmic reggae jazz”, “transcendental fusion”, and “psychedelic dance” pique your interest, I would suggest you take a listen through them all. A compilation is also available, for a quick survey. Whichever you choose, it’s a good decision.
Happy listening.
Another fun citation hole: in discussing the existence of "cordons bleus" in the plaçage days of #Louisiana, J. Martin (2000) cited Roussève (1937) who cited Embree (1931) who cited literally no one and was certainly not alive early enough to know of them firsthand. Who knows if this group ever existed
An example of frustrating #citations in #academic works on #history: J. Martin (2000) is often cited by #sociolinguists and #sociologists working on #Louisiana and #Creoles. At one point, she discussed the tignon law, (unclearly) citing Roussève (1937), but Roussève cited G. King (1895) who herself cited the ordinance directly. It's like the telephone whisper game, hoping that the info stays intact.
I’m also lucky to know many of these amazing people in this film and call some my friends. And this week they played a live performance that was pure magic. It was incredible.
Taking a break from #PhotosWhileBiking to share this amazing #documentary I watched this week, Roots of Fire. It captures so much of the uniqueness of Lafayette & Acadiana, my home. If you love #culture, roots #music, #MardiGras, #Cajun and #Creole lore, this is for you.
"Jambalaya (On the Bayou)" is a song written and recorded by American #countryMusic singer #HankWilliams that was first released in July 1952. It is Williams' most recorded song. Named for a #Creole and #CajunDish, #jambalaya, it spawned numerous recordings and has since achieved popularity in several different music genres. In 2002, the 1952 Hank Williams recording of the song on #MGMRecords was inducted into the #GrammyHallOfFame.
