Kanak Imaginaries: A Sense of Place in the Work of Déwé Görödé

Raylene Ramsay; Susan Ingram; S. Wilson

The study of the Kanak imaginary in the work of the first published Kanak (indigenous) New Caledonian writer shows this to be permeated by a sense of place. Rootedness in, and intense community with the land is not incompatible with the fluidity of ancestral criss-crossing of the Pacific or of constant border-crossing (pathways of exchange between groups) but nonetheless remains central. The ‘hinterland’ constituted by the places of the tribu (customary lands) sets up a challenge to the dominance of Noumea la blanche and Dewe Gorode’s articulation of places of identity renegotiate the urban/regional or Noumea/ Bush/Tribu nexus to counterbalance or contest national (French) imaginaries. Yet Gorode’s work presents both a return to a Kanak Place to Stand and a critical self in process (the latter situated in a ‘no man’s land’). The places in her work are ultimately ‘cognitively dissonant’: the marginal or hinterland of Kanak imaginaries (the tribu), can hold (to) their own both outside and inside the city, yet also open themselves up internally to multiplicity and critique. L’etude de l’imaginaire Kanak dans l’œuvre de Dewe Gorode revele la centralite de l’enracinement dans la terre. L’importance du lieu et de la communion intense avec la nature n’est pas incompatible avec les voyages des ancetres qui traversaient le Pacifique dans tous les sens, ni avec les sentiers de la coutume et les echanges entre tribus, mais le lieu, qui donne son nom a la tribu, reste primordial. Les lieux de Gorode opposent la tribu (a la fois les pays coutumiers et les gens qui l’habitent) a Noumea la blanche afin de contester la domination de l’imaginaire national francais et sa conception de la relation entre Noumea, la brousse (des colons), et la tribu. Toutefois l’œuvre de Dewe Gorode articule un ‘Place to Stand’ (lieu d’origine et de resistance indigene) et aussi un etre en proces, critique, qui se situe dans un ‘no man’s land’. Enfin, ses lieux d’ecriture sont ‘cognitivement dissonants’ et multiples: ils constituent la marge et le « hinterland » qu’occupe la tribu, mais tout en s’ouvrant aussi a une occupation de la ville et a une critique interne.
