"Langage(s), writing(s) and identitie(s)"

-Lecture by Ananda Devi

You could say that Mauritians live in a translated universe, juggling Creole and Bhojpuri, English and French, Hindi and Mandarin, all these ancestral languages heard in every day life. It is with our minds full of words that we move forward in life. Does this better prepare us for a multilingual world? An ethnologist by training as well as a doctor of social anthropology and a translator, Ananda Devi has received several literary prizes, in particular for her 2006 novel Eve de ses Décombres, which won the Award of the Five Continents of La Francophonie and the RFO Prize.
This lecture is organized with the Délégation Générale de l'Alliance Française aux Etats-Unis, the Department of French and Italian at the University of Colorado in Boulder, and in partnership with the International Organization of La Francophonie (OIF) .
