| Nasanin Rosado,Nasanin Rosado is a fourth-year doctoral candidate in Romance Studies at Duke University, specializing in French and Francophone literature. Taking cue from Renée Larrier, who argues that “[francophone women writers] subvert silenced history... in fictional narratives,” her thesis proposes to read key texts of African diasporic literature in order to flesh out the subtleties and significances of the mother-made-murderer, and in doing so, argue that literature provides the code to “de-biologize the epistème” as per Sylvia Wynter. This thesis will argue that the refusal to maternity witnessed in the works of Marie-Célie Agnant, Maryse Condé, Edwidge Danticat, and Évelyne Trouillot represents a material refusal that is a necropolitical act of resistance to antiblack weather in the wake of the Middle Passage.
