Games and issues of the preconstructed in How to make love with a Negro without getting tired by Dany Laferriere

The preconstructed, this unthought always in movement, this discourse of the Other which invests the thought and the writing of the ego, is paradoxically at the heart of literary creation which aims to track it down or to thwart it. This article discusses the phenomenon of the preconstructed from a literary point of view, more precisely its unfoldment and its challenges in the literary work of Dany Laferriere. Considering the current process of "creolization" of the world as thought by Edouard Glissant, it would be wise to look at the side that is not subversive, but rather evolving and constructive, of the preconstructed. Indeed, the discourse on the preconstructed which is unfolded, recycled, manipulated, and distorted by the writer, invites the reader to question the concept of relation-identity and the perception of the Other.
