Langston Hughes’s Poetic Vision of the American Dream: A Complex and Creative Encoded Language

In his collection of poems entitled Montage of a Dream Deferred (1951) Langston Hughes observed and gave an original restitution of the historic evolution of African-American culture, a theme he reverted to again in 1961 with Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz. Both collections were, indeed, largely s...

Both collections were, indeed, largely shaped by the impact of the transformation of black music as well as the hopes and dreams of African Americans. The theme of the American Dream and the possibilities for the black man to reach and accomplish this dream were recurrent in Hughes’s poetry, while the tension between the realities of the black experience and the unrealized dream provided the dynamic of his writing. By considering the poetic description of the living conditions of African Americans, my intent is to offer an analysis of the poet’s social lens to understand his vision of the American Dream for his people and how he addressed some of the most pressing social issues of his time. By analyzing Hughes’s poetic technique, I will also show how the poet rebuilt African-American history and led the reader to a process of “collective fiction”, typical of “minority writing”, as defined by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in Mille Plateaux (1980). Through his specific technique, we will see Hughes’s writing is constantly on the edge of musical and written forms; an hypotext which bonds his poems to minority writing and minor literature. Dans les recueils de poèmes Montage of a Dream Deferred (1951) et Ask your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz (1960), Langston Hughes livre une restitution particulièrement originale de la communauté noire et de son histoire entre les années 1940 et 1960. Les deux recueils suivent effectivement l’évolution de la musique noire en même temps que les rêves et les attentes de la communauté noire américaine. Le thème du rêve américain et la possibilité d’avoir sa part du rêve pour la communauté noire est récurrent dans l’écriture de Hughes. Les tensions entre les attentes et la réalité fournissent aussi une dynamique d’écriture propre au poète. A travers notre analyse, nous montrerons en quoi la description « socio-poétique » de Hughes traduit sa vision du rêve américain et comment il aborde la question sociale la plus brûlante de son temps à travers une écriture poétique qui se veut à la fois stimulante et accessible à tous. En analysant le style et la technique de Hughes, nous verrons aussi comment le poète a réinterprété l’histoire et réinvesti la langue. En substituant à la langue des expressions langagières et des modulations écrites depuis la marge, une caractéristique propre à la « littérature mineure » définie par Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari dans Mille Plateaux (1980), Hughes parvient ainsi à mettre le familier à distance, à s’affranchir de la norme, et à imposer une forme de représentation du mineur et de la marge au sens deleuzien.
