Abstract

This dissertation explores the relations between life and history in northern Haiti. Drawing from an ethnography in the village of Milot, where many traces of past times are connected through daily and ritual experiences, I deal with themes such as kinship, magic, and politics as well as their articulation with time, space and contemporary forms of subjectivation. Combining ethnography with historiographic work, I argue that history is produced through the work of agencies such as spirits and ancestors as well as with a series of engagements with materialities, knowledges, and affects that conform different historical landscapes in this Caribbean context (AU)
