Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : This paper focuses on Michelle Cliff's collection The Land of Look Behind (1985) and the ways in which ?disturbance? manifests itself at the level of syntax, narrative and form. Exploring the role of grammar and punctuation, and the politics/mechanics of quotation, the article seeks to demonstrate how Cliff's hybrid and fragmented work is not only experimental, but is also meant to disrupt and deemphasize accepted narrative/historical modes and to question ready-made accounts of the colonized self/text.
