Traces and Footprints of a Cardinal Ecopoetics: Nature or the Other Character in The Slave Old Man and the Mastiff of Patrick Chamoiseau
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study examines the eco-poetic dimension of the story The Old Slave and the Hound by Patrick Chamoiseau. This text-pretext explores the profound relationship between nature and literature and examines how, alongside the Old Slave, the Master, and the Mastiff, Nature is introduced by the author as much more than a classic referential element of the narrative. Patrick Chamoiseau, through his poetic narrative, makes it a literary character who bears particularly historical, cultural, symbolic, and commemorative traces.
