Situated utopias: imagining family and community in early modern England

Membership into the African family may be on the basis of natural (birth) or social (marriage, adoption, apprenticeship, etc) selection. The present paper examines the roles of eleven servants in eight plays written in Igbo language by six authors. The work considers the perception of the servant by other characters in these works of art, the way in which each of these servants perceives him/ herself, and the roles of the servant in the development of the entire fictional enterprise. Finally, the theory of subjectivity: the conscious and unconscious thoughts and emotions that largely account for the relationship between the individual and the society, is used in the present work to explain the authors\' presentations of the servants in these dramatic works of fiction. Resume

Cette communication analyse le role de onze domestiques, dans 8 pieces de theâtre ecrites en Igbo, par six auteurs. Elle s'interesse a la facon dont les autres personnages percoivent les domestiques dans ces pieces de theâtre, ainsi que la perception que ces employes de maison ont d'eux-memes, et le role des domestiques dans l'univers traite dans le roman. Enfin, cet article traite de la subjectivite, c'est-a-dire des pensees conscientes et inconscientes qui determinent la relation entre l'individu et la societe. Cette forme de subjectivite est evoquee dans cette communication, pour mieux expliquer le portrait qui est fait de ces domestiques dans ces fictions. Africa Development Vol. XXX(3) 2005: 112–129
