Enunciative Modalities Between Inner Monologue and Polyphony in Édouard Glissant’s La Lézarde and Le Quatrième Siècle 
In Édouard Glissant’s novels, La Lézarde [The Ripening] and Le Quatrième Siècle [The Fourth Century], the enunciative instance is triptych : it is monological, dialogic, and polyphonic. The variation of enunciative modalities is due to the historicized novelistic discourse specific to Caribbean literature. To free himself from a long silence that has weighed heavily on his people since the diaspora, the slave trade and the conquests, Glissant opted for the mediation of the voice through writing. This article analyzes enunciation as a verbal and memorial exercise/individual and collective, in order to face amnesia, while dissecting the narrative, actorial, and postural devices on which the discursive strategy rests.
