Contents Seeing with the eyes of the work (Adorno): Césaire's Cahier and modernist print culture -- The empirical subject in question: a drama of voices in Aimé Césaire's et Les Chiens se taisaient -- Poetry and the typosphere in Léon-Gontran damas -- Léon-Gontran damas writing rhythm in the interwar period -- Red front / Black Front: Aimé Césaire and the Affaire Aragon -- To inhabit a wound: a turn to language in Martinique.
Summary Carrie Noland approaches Negritude as an experimental, text-based poetic movement developed by diasporic authors of African descent through the means of modernist print culture. Engaging primarily the works of Aimé Césaire and Léon-Gontran Damas, Noland shows how the demands of print culture alter the personal voice of each author, transforming an empirical subjectivity into a hybrid, textual entity that she names, after Theodor Adorno, an 'aesthetic subjectivity.'
