Resum
[eng] This thesis will explore how different forms of memory contribute to the construction of Caribbean identity and Haitian history. It will do so, more specifically, through the reading of the literary work «Krik? Krak!» (1995) by Haitian American writer Edwidge Danticat. In this short story collection, the phenomenon of memory arises from the cumulative effect of interconnected narratives, encompassing both the ancestral stories that elucidate the behaviours and the identities of present-day characters, as much those living in diaspora as those residing in the fictional setting of Ville Rose, Haiti. The diverse forms of memory in discussion will be tied together by Michael Rothberg's concept of multidirectional memory, which contemplates a sense of fluidity and interculturality characteristic of Caribbean cultures. The versatility granted by this framework will be applied as dependent on two important concepts: collective memory and communicative memory, which provide answers to the silences and gaps in the postcolonial Caribbean.
Keywords: Edwidge Danticat, Multidirectional Memory, Collective Memory, Communicative Memory, Caribbean Diasporic Identities
