Abstract
This chapter offers a reading of J.-F. de Saint-Lambert’s moral tale “Ziméo,” that is one of the rare Enlightenment texts representing slave revolution. Focusing on categories and conventions of representation, the chapter addresses two main points. First, it explores how slavery and slave revolution could be represented in the abolitionist and Enlightenment discourse. Second, linking esthetic debate with historical colonial context, it brings up questions of representation of colonial others and of colonial violence as well as questions of imperial agency. Bandau explores these questions by analyzing discursive positions and rhetorical strategies. She studies the different interplays between literature, philosophy, and politics in Saint-Lambert’s narrative and analyzes it in the context of his work for colonial reform projects. Lastly, she analyzes “Ziméo”’s circulation and reception in abolitionist and physiocratic milieus.
