Abstract:
Cette thèse s'ajoute aux rares études consacrées à la dimension religieuse et spirituelle dans les écrits de Chinua Achebe (1930-2013). Etudier le christianisme dans l'oeuvre d'Achebe, c'est prendre part, en compagnie de l'auteur de "Morning Yet on Creation Day", à ce qu'il désignait par 'my ritual return and homage'. Ce rite, loin d'être un retour aveugle aux sources natales et une exaltation du passé, est au contraire une cérémonie pénitentielle et oecuménique qui relie le passé, le présent et l'avenir, et s'ouvre aux valeurs spirituelles africaines et chrétiennes pour relever les défis du m

L'oeuvre de chinua achebe, l'ecrivain nigerian, releve d'un rapport original entre l'art et une vision du monde a la fois culturaliste, historiciste, populiste et progressiste. La critique litteraire n'a pas saisi l'enracinement africain de cette oeuvre parce qu'elle est une critique extravertie par rapport a cet heritage culturel: media occidentaux, discours domines par des sciences humaines refletant une domination occidentale.

There are very few works not associated with the Western canon to have received as much attention as Chinua Achebe’s novel Things Fall Apart (Ogbaa 1). However, contrary to the many post-colonial interpretations of this novel, this essay employs a psychoanalytical literary approach to discuss the cause of the protagonist’s eventual demise, based on the premise that human behaviour is driven by an unconscious process. Consequently, this essay argues that following the ego’s inability to repress the infantile demands of the unconscious, the preconscious and the conscious self, ever more compulsi

In many former British colonies independence from colonial rule has produced a myriad of post-colonial tensions. Increasingly, writers from the indigenous race in these former colonies have felt moved to respond to these tensions in their imaginative fiction. This study has undertaken a comparative cross-cultural analysis of the works of two writers from such societies whose indigenous cultures share common assumptions, to explore the underlying impetus of these tensions, and the writers� proposals for resolving them. Chapter One assesses Witi Ihimaera as a writer, and explores his concept of

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The following mini-thesis, Things Fall Apart, Power and Krishnamurti, is concerned with the nature by which power is possibly viewed, maintained and transferred by the characters of Chinua Achebe' s novel, Things Fall Apart. The intent of this analysis is to incorporate traditional literary approaches to issues of power in the novel via polarised conceptions, such as east versus west, black versus white or indigenous culture and traditions versus Christianity. Yet simultaneously, by incorporating the unique world-view o

Abstract:
In the present thesis I will analyse the phenomenon of the shaping of identity in African and Canadian postcolonial texts. In the world of the texts, this phenomenon occurs when colonial subjects are caught between tradition and modernity. The African texts that I will discuss are Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart and James Ngugi's The River Between, which I will compare to the Canadian Métis texts, Maria Campbell's Halfbreed and Beatrice Culleton's In Search of April Raintree. The primary goal of this thesis will be to compare these different texts in order to find the different methods chose

Abstract:
The purpose of this essay is to conduct a character analysis on Eugene Achike from Chimamana Ngozi Adichie’s novel Purple Hibiscus, to see whether or not the character is used by Adichie as a portrayal of colonial Nigeria and its values. I have done this by looking at the themes of violence and hypocrisy in relation to Eugene’s language usage, religious attitude, and behaviour towards others, and comparing these aspects of his personality with the attitudes shown by colonialists in colonial Nigeria. The more important issues that prove Eugene’s character is a portrayal of colonial Nigeria are:
