Full textThe object of our dissertation has been a study of some african novels in the light of european existential philosophy. Our point of departure was that de six novels in question - l'aventure ambigue, la plaie, chaine, l'ecart, un piege sans fin, and le regard du roi - apprehend human reality in africa from an essentially metaphysical or existen- tial view point. To this effect, they lend themselves to a fruitful philosophical analysis capable of shedding new light on the human or metaphysical problems they explore. Existential philosophy together with its various models of analysis served as the theoretical and methodological frame- work of our study. As the essence of philosophical criticism of literary texts should be the union of literary analysis with philosophical reflexion, our study has been divided into two phases. The first phase is concerned with a phenomenological stu- dy of the forms and structures of the novels aimed at uncovering the existential mouvements and themes of which the said forms and structures are the embodiments. The second phase takes up the themes and mouvements so uncovered in order to submit them to a tho- rough and systematic philosophical analysis. Thus in keeping with an existential approach, in the first instance the adventure of the hero of each novel is viewed and analysed as the dialectics of the individual's freedom as it comes to grips with various si- tuations. In the second instance, other human and historical pro- blems raised by some of these texts are submitted to a sypnotic philosophical scrutiny. Finally, as each of these novels is infor- med by a certain point of view of its author on african human and historical reality, our study ends with a critical evaluation of each author's african thoughts as portrayed in his nove

Full textThe question of the modernity is trebly essential in the French-speaking African literature : -at first, it engages in a dialectic of interrogation of te time and the space, that they are historic or anthropological to loosen the sense of the notion - then, joining an epistemological perspective which allows to arrest the aesthetics of the forms of expression of the orality or the oraliture, the modernity inserts the African romantic speech into the register of the elements of mediation which authorizes the reading of the literary fact as a carrier phenomenon of the values of aesthetics - finally, the modernity invites to question the identity of the narrator, what Paul Ricoeur calls "the narrative identity". By opening in several interpretations, it incites the reader to re-configure the segments of speech to seize the identity of the characters by confronting them to that of the writer
Garnier, Xavier. "La magie dans le roman négro-africain d'expressions anglaise et française." Paris 4, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA040212.
Full textThis work is an analysis of the possible status of the magic in a novel by way of an observation of African novels. The first part, which deals with oral narratives (two tales and two epics), shows the strong link between magic and the enunciation context. Concerning the novel, the magic displays itself in three branches: religion, sorcery and witchcraft which are respectively linked to realism, fantastic and marvelous. The aim of this work is to connect the magic efficiency to the debate on truth of African traditional knowledge upon reality. Novels such as the ones of Tutuola and Sony Labou Tansi don't take consideration of this debate since they don't respect the spatio-temporal representations of our reality and adopt the witchcrafts position which unsettles the coordinates of reality to dive in the heart of the magic universe

Full textAfrican novel writing in french twenty years ago is producing an ugly and very disguting image about african society. Here, the uglyness is affecting barbarous dictators'monstrous dealings. In our doctorate'thesis, we'll look for to understand the reasons of uglyness' emergency. Then we'll examine after the uglyness'emergency in the novels of our jur ling corpus. We found uglyness'reasons in black africa'traditions and story. Our two firsts chapters're studying novels who denounce the uglyness. The chater number three is affecting novels where to laugh at uglyness. Hilarity's introducing could surprise in these novels but we'll show that this hilarity mingled with bitterness like in a carnival

Full textThe most striking feature of the portrait of the intellectual in french-speaking african fiction is the high tone of misery with which he is credited. He appears as a solitary individual, violently separated from his people and culture but unable to adopt the bulk of western values. He cuts the figure of a "cultural monster", a product of an incomplete metamorphosis. In the post-colonial novel, he is still presented as a lonely figure though faced now with a new set of problems; a moral gulf separates him from the corrupt ruling class while his cultural and intellectual transformation weakens his bonds with his people. Though his efforts to correct the situation generally fail he is usually presented by the novelists as a man of justice, truth and goodwill. In the francophone novel in general, the intellectual appears entangled in a plethora of myths suchas a) the assimilation myth, which presents him as the victim of a colonial conspiracy, b) the messianic myth by which he appears as the liberator chosen by destiny, c) the education myth or the absolute trust in western education and the talisman of degrees, and d) the literary myth : the intellectual as a hero of the novel matures into a literary myth by virtue of the frequency with which he appears and the symbolic role he seems to play in the literature of committment

Full textThe study of space in novels from french-speaking africa between 1970 and 1990 affords a clearer perception of the evolution and specificity of this literary output through reference to a vast and diversified literary corpus. The first part looks at the relationships between space, action and narration. These reveal in particular the profound instability of the characters whose story is often organized around the traditional opposition between town and village, the movement between the two being a sign of a deep-rooted malaise, an impossibility to adapt in a world in crisis where all identificatory bearings are shifting or have disappeared. The status of the narrator is another sign of this problem of identity. The second part analyses the relations between space and society. It shows how far political demonstration remains central to the novel, determining the status of the characters, the events related, the places described, etc. As the african novelist sees his task as the denounciation of the scourges besetting the continent, all spatial representation tends to be limited to this problem. One of the most striking symptoms of this is the omnipresence of carceral space in these texts. A third part, inspired by the works of g. Bachelard and g. Durand attempts to bring to light the recurring imaginary structures which emerge from the works. Although some symbolical patterns demonstrate a certain faith in existence, a positive sense of rootedness in the native soil, pessimistic images and symbols prevail. The world portrayed seems most often destined to slow decomposition, condemned to sterility and inexorable decline. The writing evokes images of infected water, destructive fire, mineral erosion, seething animal life, excrements, mud, bottomless pits, chaos, etc. , depicting a universe labouring under an implacable curse

Full textIn the African novel written in French, death prervades the narrative fabric. What strikes the reader is the omnipresence of death, as feature in the titles. The recurrence of the motif of violent death is to be set in relation with authoritarian regimes in Africa. The evolution of African society has introduced a significant factor underlying the novel, which is the deritualisation of death as a consequence of the devitalisation of myths. Facing existential angst, the novel reappropriates the way of thinking about death extant among traditional African societies. It consists in bringing into play the permanent conflict between " impulsie imagination " and " rational imagination " one the one hand, and their complementarity on the other. The dynamic antagonism opposing rationality and impuse in the constructive phase of their duality enables the creation of myths which make life tolerable. Against this cultural background the novel builds utopias to postulate another dimension to the future

Full textThe negro-african fiction literature has mainly focussed on successive violences that have agitated the African continent. For instance, the apartheid that is mostly cited in South African literature works; the Mau-Mau upheaval in Kenya and the liberation wars in Mozambique and in Angola have generated a literature of fight; secession wars in Nigeria as well as political conflicts in Sudan, Tchad, Liberia, Sierra Leona, Congo, etc. Have been a good starting point of an important novel production. However, there is a belief that the misery is a consequence of the violence; that is also a common denominator of a big number of literature fictions. Can massacres that happened in Rwanda during the 1994 genocide be placed in that violence roundabout? Among writers invited by Fest’Africa for “Writing for memory purposes” are B. B. Diop, K. Lamko and T. Monénembo whose literature works are Murambi le livre des ossements, La Phalène des collines and L’Aîné des orphelins respectively, are particularly interesting in both language and style. Sociocultural and linguistic observations drawn from the Rwandan context offer a new image of the African literature. The onomastics, xenism and oral characteristics related to Kinyarwanda are among elements that portray the local color tied to the African Great Lakes region. Neologisms, polysemisation in written texts, the renewal of common expressions, etc. As well as new exaggerating comparisons are all ingredients of story-telling novels whose topic doesn’t allow stylistic aesthetics. Netheverless, allusions to the Holocaust are a proof that those fictions are inspired by the Shoah literature and bring writers to make close comparisons between two genocides separated by a half century

Full textThe production of novels is growing fastly today in black africa than ever. But this is mainly due to the fact that the ackward political regimes and the uneffective social institutions are degenerating into crisis, crisis that were to expect as nobody nowhere is able to stand evil all the time. It appears therefore that nowadays literary creation in africa depends above all on the feeling of disgust and disappointment. In all evidence, one would have expected a new way of life through the political self-reliance that all the africans longed for very eagerly during years of colonization of the continent by some western countries. Today, the people seem to be enslaved than before and the moralists are struggling for the establishment of a new social and economical policy more suitable to the moral, material and intellectual blowing of the black african people. The novelists tendency is to believe that the failure of our morality explains or justifies the failure of most of the development projects in our countries. Many of them believe that the future of our continent depends on the way moral problems are going to be solved. They try to call the attention of every true african on this reality. That no evolution is possible without a deep reshaping of our mentality. Africans have to fight corruption, nepotism. . . , all the evils that actually prevent our society to get to its real dimension. The stylistic devices that they use serve that purpose and in a very revolutionary way. The structures of the novels too. But unfortunately they are very few those who read those novels and this for many reasons. The african novelists should any way rely on the perspicacity of the cultural authorities as to obtain that their works be associated with other means of communication of thought such as television for example

Full textThe creative dynamics of the african novel, be it in english or french, is to be found at the crossroads of the symbols of order and chaos. The social and cultural disintegration of african societies and of the african man are contained in the eternal recurrences symbolised by order and chaos. The violence that characterizesthe african novel is the reflection of our impressions over the beginnings of the universe and of our need to domesticate space and time. It is the very same dynamics of recurrences that explains the circular structure of the african novel

Full textThis research project explores the emerging trends in African francophone literature during the 1990s, resulting from a thematic diversification within the context of recent current events: civil wars, genocide, exile, and questions concerning immigration. To what extent can we speak of an African identity or literary specificity in these new works? Is such a question still relevant? In order to more clearly define the boundaries of this project, we concentrate on literature of the French language and examine the power relations existing between a Parisian “center” and the peripheral “southern countries”. Authors studied in this project are both canonical writers of the African independence era and writers from a new literary tradition

Full textOur aim is to show how the african writers have succeded in passing their message into their novels. The first african novels delt with a certain number of themes. Their writing technic remained entirely the same as that of the french or european people. Today the main goal is a better narration which gives to the language thenarration', theuse of characters, the use of space and time, a new orientation. The african critics who are working on the african arts have brought out some methods which favor a better reading. If there is a continuity in the themes linked to the motionless, of the continent, there is therefore a break on the level of the form in the conception of our novel. It is only a trend but once more the particularity of our culture

Full textThe issue of identity is an issue that is topical both constant and evolving as it traverses the history of man. It appears as a major concern in today's world and thus of the African society of today. Recurring theme of sub-saharan African literature in french, through characters torn, suffering from psychological conflicts or crises of identity, it motivates this study who wants to do an investigation on the issue of identy in five African novels. It aims to highlight its literariness and therefore identify issues both semantic and aesthetic at work. Thus, it shows how the organization of strata enunciative that structure works reflect the identity of why battered of how the bruise spreads and lives and strategies for recovery of identity. Organized into three parts, one revealed by analysis immanent, the unveiling of the vacillations of identity from the narrative construction of heroes. S'en follow the narrative course content axiological contradictory, reflecting the d iscrepancies of their Being. The second part refers to a disorientation of the characters in space, base their search for identity. The last axis, with the help of social psychology highlights strategies winbacks identity made by the protagonists. However the search for identity ends in a stalemate because the existential question remains. Total, enrollment of discursive identity invests the text in both content and form and can be read in a singularity in language, itself in search of definition and empowerment. This writing in mutation is typical of many French novels

Full textSince 1930 the space of novel or fiction has become, little by little, an aesthetic modality of representation (not only mimesis, but also imagination), an ethical problem and an ideological theme of textualization of space in french-speaking (black) africa. The stakes and concerns of african topicality have been visualized and have vehicled african history in its development. As a matter of fact, the space of fiction and narration is going to embody or to take the main place of inscription, of endorsement and focalisation of the present problems in africa the space of writing is made into a space of fiction of history. What are the logical connections, the postulates and foundations of this space-time writing, the "hic and nunc" in french-speaking africa ? we shall try to demonstrate how fiction or stody-telling aims at telling and reflecting african reality and how it also becomes a kind of awareness of the necessity of writing, deepening and recovering africa history. It's the hard task of our archaeology

Full textThe african contemporary writer abandons the writing techniques of his predecessors. He uses all the elements of the text, of the speech, of the character, of the time, of the space, of the story. . . Removing them from any reference to a pre-existing system. The substitution of the concrete for the abstract and the repetition are a sort of definition of things. So the writer faces two difficulties. On the one hand, he has to express the population's revolutionary hopes and make them evercome. He has to convince his reader. And on the other hand, he must find an answer to this question: how can we convey social conflicts in the shape of images, symbols and myths which belong to a definite collective memory and remain at the same time comprehensible by all the readers. The emotional intensity and the affective force which are contained in these images, symbols and myths are more expressive and affective than any other form of communication. From that time, we can't consider the african literature just as a form or as a report. An ethnologique approach is necessary to understand the novel. Thus a new stage of writing requires a new method of reading and interpretation

Full textThis thesis turns mainly round the theme of social environment and literary creation. Our interest was to study the literary works mainly at three levels, namely : at the levels of causes and consequences of the duality of the way of life which governs the contemporary african society and at the level of narratology. The study of the first encounter between africans and europeans and the infiltration of the african society by the cultural values of the western society through the new school and the church shows similarity between fiction and reality. The social environment plays the role of a catalyst concerning the imagination of each novelist. The study of the problem of the political power reveals the new leaders' individualistic behaviour in the negative sens. Their insatiable craving for power and richness makes them brutal towards their fellow countrymen. The other major preoccupation of the novelists centres around the economic, linguistic and socio-cultural consequences brought about by the duality of the way of life. And if the novelists have as common denominator the borrowing of constructing materials from the social environment, the study has shown that each novelist has his own way of using these materials. It is especially the study of narratology which has revealed the particularity of each novelist's literary practice. In short, each novelist has his own way of creating a literary work

Full textTo determine the existential condition of the intellectual put in scene in the sub-Saharan french-speaking novel, such is the aim of this study.With this intention, we carrie out a development articuled around three axes. Each one of those put forward the question of the malaise wich underlies the representation of the character in the corpus. The first part is relative to the semantic label of the intellectual protagonist. This label depicts a character who distance himself from the majority of characters because of the specificity of his intellectual status. It shows a critical opinion overall depreciating about this status and is the expression of the ambiguity inherent in this one. In the second part, we examine the protagonist and the other characters’s relationships. This analysis illustrates and confirms the antagonisme between the majority of the actors and him. In the third part, we analyze the topics which corroborate the malaise of the intellectual protagonist, revealed throughout the two preceding parts. These topics reveal a character turned towards elsewhere more hospital, an other status, synonymous with wellbeing, and a new life also translating its aspiration with this happiness

Full textIn Maghreb and Black Africa, the father is an unquestionable and indisputable chief. Religion and tradition would give him a crucial function in these patriarchal societies. He has a great sovereignty in front of decisions which concern a member of his family. Driss Chraïbi, Mongo Beti, Rachid Boudjedra and Williams Sassine describe this excessive role of the father, not for glorifying him, like several francophone novelists, but for denouncing his authority. This attitude corresponds to a period where Maghrebian and Black African families are changing, particularly with the decline of the paternal power confronted to the “counter-power” of the son who speaks sometimes in the name of the mother. Then, psychoanalysis helps to read le Passé simple, Mission terminée, la Répudiation, le Jeune homme de sable, which can be considered as family novels showing sons revolt and its logical consequence: the parricide. What meaning we can give to this paternal authority and to these generation gaps without which narrative history don’t exist? How can we read sons revolt and “murder of father” as a youth aspiration of freedom and recognition, as assertiveness and search of identity? These Francophone authors, who represent, sometimes similarly sometimes differently, the conflict father-son through fictions with specific literary forms, have them the same literary project, which is to promote values of equity, of justice, of freedom in familial relations?

Full textThe topic of immigration has inspired an explosion of novels in Francophone Literature. They usually lean on the twenty-first century’s mobility of people and technologies in order to fictionalize issues related to cosmopolitanism. In the specific context of sub-Saharan African Literature, literary criticism assimilates this corpus to the ‘’Migritude’’, a phenomenon presented as the raising of a new generation of African writers in contemporary France. The writer’s institutional approach also comes to strengthen this perception. Indeed, a mess of them have signed the manifesto of the World Literature in French. Our thesis needs to examine these problems through the Literature Discourse Analysis approach. The primary step is about the reminder of historiography related to postcolonial African travel fictions. Afterwards the reflection seeks to compare those African novels, between the founding and the recent, on the basis of categories such as characters, space and imaginary. With regard to postcolonial theories as well as the narrative phenomenon of intertextuality, this thesis finally consider the emerging of post-colonial African Travel Literature as the rewriting of an archive running across Francophone African travel-writings since the early twenty century. They all question the accessibility of Africa and its diaspora to the Global Culture

Full textMany political scientists perceived the recent history of africa as the exact replica of the political process in south america. Post-independent africa indeed experiences identical sociopolitical difficulties with latin american countries : social inequelities, tremendow debt, political subordination, army-controlled political power, etc. . . And those are signs of the failure of politics in both continent which generated a profuse production of literary works, espacially in the field of novel-writing where the dominant feature invariously comes out to be the military dictators. Every literature is the product and the image of the environnement in which it take rooks. This identity of inspiration is therefore not amazing, and such a community of fate has mather favoured the rise of what is called by some people a "thrid word literature". Somehow, novelists in both contients declaim against established military power and demigrate dictators, for they see their works as a contribution to the life of their respective societies. Moreaver, they continually adopt similar literary attitudes. Indeed, if sembene ousmaner or ferdinand oyono make you think of zola or balzac, it is their latin american countes ports that the 1980 ies' african prose weiters take up

Full textWe analyse the expressions and the functions of woman's body according to the thematic criticism approach in the romantic works of the feminine authors of blacks french speaking africa. That body is the one of feminine characters described and which exist only in the prose of the less evoked african area's authoress. As part of the expressions, the woman's body appears as the old body and the young body. The old body is revealed as a symbol of morals, kindness. From erotical point of view, it appears however voiceless. The young body, analysed through the body parts which are the seat of erotism, is confirmed as an appeal to man. The expression of black feminine body apposes the erotism of white feminine body. However, single feminine characters who fashion their bodies by giving them a provocative language towards man, come into view. But the fashion which is confirmed of a value to the body and the woman, is that accomplished by water. As far as the body's functions are concerned, the miror and the room melt in the body. They are sources of the characters' confidence in their erotic avantages, sources of moralizers and sources of sexual perversion

Full textThe focus of our thesis is on various social problems experienced by black women in patriarchal societes as seen by french-speaking female novelists from black africa and the caribbean islands. The need was felt to limit this study to former french colonies in order to be able to explore the influence of a particular form of colonisation on colonised women. We also analysed the way in which french patriarchy modified traditional african patriarchy and the resultant situation. Our study consists of five chapters, the first of which examines woman's body as seen by man, by western civilisation and by the woman herself from a psychological and philosophical standpoint. The second chapter deals with woman's relationship to the surrounding space : exile (a tragic experience) and space in one's native land. Home and the outside world change their significance depending on a woman's social class : the wealthy woman is housebound whereas the wage-earner is chased out of her home by the need to earn her living. The third chapter deals with woman's social conditioning. Traditional upbringing and western influence make her an alienated person but paradoxically, it was western formal schooling that was to open the door to individual freedom for her. In chapter four, we analyse various activities that help to bring out female dynamism and in chapter five, we look at woman's relationship to marriage. Sex and motherhood. Her economic dependence and the lack of contraception make these experiences a form of servitude. In conclusion, female novelists emphasize the importance of formal schooling in the improvement of the female condition

Full textHow can we explain the obsession of the "supernatural" in the works of French-speaking African writers? The exploration of western awareness, backed up with texts dating from the Graeco-Latin antiquity to the modern period, discloses the underlying psychological bases of such an obsession. By insisting on the blacks "fetishism" and their spiritual void, the Europeans have created a sentiment of frustration; the natural result for the victims of yesterday has been an attitude of self-defense and the need to restore their tarnished image. Through the "sacred of the terroir", African writers reveal a world order focussed on the unifying power of the cosmos. On the other hand, the "revealed religions", as vehicles of cultural norms from abroad, have evacuated the sacred from the cosmos and have thus neutralized and robbed the latter of its originality. Therefore, the adoption of the sacred for Africans means: - the rehabilitation of the black man and of the African "terroir". - the nostalgia for the origins

Full textIn the process of evolution of African literature, evolution which does not escape from that universal literature, “Le cercle des tropiques “ and “the récit du cirque”, are included in the category of the "new political novel" created by novelists of the second generation. The first novel uses the forms of realism to denounce and take apart the mechanism of a one-party system created an imagined country : "les marigots du sud" at the time of independance and through which is maintained on the whole population, the generally decried authority of a despot nomed Bare Koule. In the second novel, the same social theme reappears, but here as an allegory. Through this symbolic opacity, the geopolitical referent can be recognized without too much difficulty. Even though it is pure fiction as compared to the realism of the first novel : “Le cercle des tropiques”, the likelihood of the descriptions in “le récit du cirque” suggests as faithfully the criticism of power, oppression and indifference as does the first novel

Full textThe representation of dictatorial power has become a recurrent theme in the works of Francophone African writers ever since Ahmadou Kourouma published his novel The Suns of Independence in 1968. Over the last twenty years the theme has revolved around the ramifications of a radical moral evil. Where does this thematic choice stem from? How does one define its impact on the writings from 1968 to the present-day? One notices that the narratives retrace the same paths portraying the birth and the murderous journeys of the African figure of authority. This dissertation examines, firstly, the dictators’ genetic territories, secondly, the mythical valences that they call into question, and lastly, their broken discourse and the incoherencies defining them. This is an attempt at capturing, through the use of the interpretative critical approach, the dynamics of political power perceived as a mental disease illustrated at first, through its proliferation, then its peak, and lastly, its ambiguous remission. The advent of the historical element in the literary text is accomplished by putting state authority into perspective and by using subversive imagination, which become, in the end, a space of liberty. This dissertation traces, therefore, the artistic itinerary of a quest for healing

Full textViolence, war, poverty and precariousness are typical terms, which are repeatedly present in different discourses about the African continent, be it in the media or in the social sphere. In literature, these expressions also dominate the publications of both the colonial and the post-colonial era. Therefore, this work has the main objective of analysing the portrayal of postcolonial violence in selected works published by African French-speaking authors, but without taking into account the figure of the dictator. It emphasizes the issue of children, most especially child soldiers. Moreover it analyses the narrative methods used by the authors, by means of which a child or teenager becomes the main figure in the context of extreme violence. Two novel publications of Ahmadou Kourouma and one of Emmanuel Dongala form the basis of this dissertation. These are works of two authors who, starting in the year 2000, created new structures in the history of French African literature by their intensive writing about the military use of children. It turned out that in their novels, the voice of a child offers a particular view from the lower class of society on postcolonial violence. In addition, the dissertation establishes a causal relationship between postcolonial and colonial violence

Full textAround Around the 1930s, Léopold Sédar Senghor, Aimé Césaire, Léon Gontran Damas and others launched the Negritude movement. Their struggle is a poetic evocation and a reappropriation of Africa. Indeed, after the taking into account of African values and their implementation, one must think and write in the African way. The literary creations resulting from this literary movement were therefore essentially oriented towards Africa, towards this fixed and known topographic space. In this legitimate claim, the identity of the Negro subject is to be sought in Africa; Negritude is therefore involved in a kind of “fixed identity”. The 1990s saw the emergence of a new generation of francophone African writers who mostly live and conduct their literary activities in Europe (Bessora, Alain Mabanckou, Kossi Efoui, Calixte Béyala, etc.). This fourth generation of francophone African writers struggle against a kind of "house arrest" and advocate a literature open to the world. In this regard, Bessora, like many other writers of her generation, evolves on the fringe of a closed geographical space; she assumes membership in a world that abolishes geographic, aesthetic and even genrologicals frontiers. While not denying her African origins, Bessora cuts all ties with her geographical space in order to invent and conquer new territories. Consequently Bessora no longer writes about Africa from a frozen and African-centered position, but rather calls for the realization of “All-World” of Glissant

Full textIt is the purpose of this thesis to establish a link between the Mauritanian, Maghrebian and Sub-Saharan novel in a comparative perspective, in the light of postcolonial theory and narratology; to draw attention to the unjustified negligence of Mauritanian novel production, in the light of the Maghrebian and sub-Saharan novel. After trying to identify the relationship between these themes and those developed by Maghrebian and sub-Saharan authors, we tried to show the dual hybridity both of identity and narrative that characterises this novel production. In this perspective, some common themes, including marginality, revolt, the status of women, slavery, and violence, have been highlighted. The analysis revealed that the predominant theme in the Mauritanian corpus is that of slavery. At the formal level, we explored the ‘narrative poetic’ of ethnographic novels which are essentially in the colonial period and the ‘narrative revolt’ which characterises postcolonial novels. It shows a desire to break with the realistic poetics, to impregnate the written text with narrative elements drawn from traditional oral literature, and to borrow a mode of enunciation specific to traditional tales. Thus, we witness a renewal of narrative aesthetics and the birth of a hybrid poetic on the edge of modernity and tradition. Keywords: Roman, Francophone, Mauritania, Maghreb, Sub-Saharan Africa, Revolt, Narration, Poetics, Hybridity, Realism, Imaginary, Written, Orality

Full textThis dissertation takes a new approach to the brutality of the Rwandan genocide through some French-speaking African novels. These novels are a (re)presentation of the cruel Rwandan History. They adopt the forms of a distorted, tortured landscape and try to breathe life into a decrepit world. The first part deals with the context before, during and after the genocide. The observation of the socio-political and economic context has revealed a connection between this fatal conflict and the problematic links of History and memory. The essence of the reports conforms to the fragility and the limits of the ethnic groups' obsessions for identity. Beyond the physical and psychological damage, the texts have foreseen devastating effects on the future generations. The second part of the dissertation is an exploration of the narrative strategies which expose the brutality of this genocide. For a clearer rendering of this apocalyptic world, all the texts show a heterogeneous writing style and a serial-type structure. In this respect, the broad effects of the symbolism of the titles and the tensions that followed in the transmission of the massacres have appeared. Furthermore, the polyphony of the intrigues and their hybrid composition has forcefully invoked the contradictions of the Rwandan society. The text analyses have brought out characters marked by violence and fear in a universe which keeps up confusion. Studying the representation of the brutality of the Rwandan genocide has permitted identifying power as the main responsible for this catastrophe

Broken glass case Alain Mabanckou, Ananda Devi Sigh, The Other Dancing Dracius Suzanne and The Sacred Night Tahar Ben Jelloun". It proposes to identify the various ways in which the quest for identity itself as privileged material of the structure of the four novels narrative. Party of the question: what does theliterature, we intend to demonstrate that the quest for identity is distinguished as the central motif in the composition of francophone postcolonial novel?. The choice for these four writers based on the desire to show the romantic theme of the operation of the search for identity. Indeed, applied to the internal dynamics of stories that structure the stories, the quest for identity emerges as the issue that crosses the writing of francophone postcolonial novel, especially in the writing of Alain Mabanckou, Tahar Ben Jelloun, Ananda Devi and Suzanne Dracius. By scientific standards, this study is divided into three areas. First historiographical axis. It attaches to a fairly simple understanding of the concepts of this study and illustrate the different facets in literary history. Then poetic axis where analytical. He has the title of "figures of the search for identity." It is striving to show how the pattern of the search for identity unfolds in the corpus. The third axis hermeneutic or interpretation undertaking further analysis and carry a number of interrogation on the concepts covered in the analytical sequence

Full textThe esthetic nature of the novel of Gabon is marked by two major influences : Realism and Oral tradition. Realism is firstly rooted in the geography and culture of the people. Looked at through the lens of "power" - we first see the influence of "political power" found in African literature since the period of independence in the 1960's, and from another angle that of "witchcraft" a recurrent theme in particular in Gabon novel. The recording of oral traditions is birthed from a place of "realism" with writers describing village life through the beliefs and rituals of the people. The place of "oral tradition" in the novel of Gabon is the second part of this study. "Oral tradition" encompasses all the rich wisdom of a people, transferred from ear to ear, from past generations through the ages. The transposition of "oral tradition" in the literature is a recording of the African oral universe made up of its beliefs and practices. There is from one side the desire to convey the traditions of a people, and from the other side, to expose the shortcoming of modern society. In the third part of this study, there is under-line through the ties between political power and witchcraft, a calling into question of traditional practices in modern society. Literature serves as a tool to analyse society, with some authors opting for a "hidden" denunciation through the use of writing styles, which offer a certain "security", especially during periods where it is not advisable to criticize the actions of political power. Others denounce through the depiction of "truth" or modern reality. The rehabilitation of society needs therefore to pass through the use of words that are forever a part of ancestral wisdom

Full textThis research seeks to read the contributions of interlanguage in the novels of Francophone sub-Saharan Africa. This linguistic and sociolinguistic notion sees its first research orientation with Selinker (1972). American researcher attached to the linguistic and psycholinguistic aspects of the learning of a foreign language by adults with the elaboration of the term "interlanguage" to account for the intermediate knowledge of the learner in a foreign language. For this author, as for other researchers who have oriented research on the notion, the interlanguage is a "transitional skill" (Coder, 1967), an "approximate language" (Nemser, 1971) characterized by real instability Especially since the grammatical rules of the interlanguage do not correspond to the rules found in the mother tongue of the learner or those observed in the target language: in general, the interlanguage is not intended to evolve towards a better Practice of the language.However, the observation of interlanguage in the texts of novelists in French-speaking sub-Saharan Africa calls into question this definition of the first researchers: in the texts, the interlanguage increases the lexicon of vocabulary, reuses structures Syntactics to innovate the syntax, in addition to that, it diversifies the figures of styles to embellish the existing stylistics. The lexical rejuvenation is visible through the introduction of borrowings, codical alternations, layers and neologies. At the syntactic level, there is an unusual use of syntactic tools as well as determination, pronouns, punctuation and insistence of morphosyntax features. To these structures are added the maxims and proverbs presenting in fact stylistics as a diversified textual element.The sociocritic of Zima is the approach around which we hold this information. It presents itself here as a perspective that best identifies the sociality of the literary text. It opens the way to the analysis of the interlanguage which it has identified in works. Thanks to it, it is discovered that this concept calls for the cultural coexistence of peoples with different microscopes. It raises the diversity of cultures and evokes multilingualism and interculturality, two important lungs to define the institutional, linguistic and literary Francophonie. The principles advocated by the notion of interlanguage can restructure the France / Africa relationship

Full textThis research is devoted to the representation of memory and history in fiction writings of Maryse Condé and Tierno Monénembo. Memory that interests us here is identifiable in an unconventional memorial site, that is, in the literary text. The text then becomes a "memory space." It holds and transmits cultural references. The choice of these two authors lies in the continuity of the Africa / Caribbean dialogue on the past, present and future. Moreover, all African and Caribbean literatures, brings memories encumbered by tragic events, marked by death, loss and exile, memory in this case is linked to a crisis of conscience that the writer experience most often in a triple sense of pain, loss and discord. The integration of these facts in the narrative alongside other events from the imagination of the novelist promotes their fictionalization, and aims at giving an effect of historicity. Thus, the writer, if he has to be held within the limits of history or memory, he can take liberties with it, turning it by the poetic creation. In this context, we would like to show the conception of the memorial fact and its presentation among the two authors. Especially considering how texts become relays of transmission and of construction of memory, often parallel or distanced from dominant stories or dominant memories. So the writing of authors will be analyzed as a strategy of resistance against all forms of sociopolitical speculations that suffocate collective and individual memories

Full textThe aim was to review French discourse from the dawn of the twenty-first century ; more particulary in the following texts : The Initiated, The cry that you make won't awaken nobody, The Festival of Masks, After the silence, In waiting for the vote of the Wild Animals, The sound of Inheritance, The Identity Card and The one and a helf lives. In the end, after considering the question of traditional powers from each and every perspective, it is the problem of identity, in all its facets, which has been dealt with. Seen from this point of view, the (written and spoken) word has been pinpointed as a source of power in consideration of its social and literary aspect. The question of myths and their stylistic effect of their images have allowed us to highlight the way in which all the elements constituting ancient knowledge have been handed down over time. Myths, which, by means of the narrative structure of their texts, have revealed how contemporary literary works, destroyed by contemporary societies, are affected and they contribute also to to the breaking down of traditional orders. Following on from that, there is an attempt to legitimise Frecnh writings by means of the power of words, as writing of rupture. In order to do this, it was necessary to highlight the structural elements which would help us to define French texts on the basis of their linguistic elements. Subsequently, words have been denoted as a force which generates meaning. This semantic self-generation has helped to reveal the instability of certain characters and the apparent loss of authority bt patriarchs such as Rèdiwa or Makaya, charged with the safe-keeping and the transmission of ancient values. The internal conflict found in French black African imaginative works, often linked to the confrontation between tradition and modernity, is also that which has allowed us to read cultural phenomena differently and has led to the challenging of traditional knowledge. Finally, the entire French-speaking world, or at least that which is mentioned in the third part of this work, eventually reveals itself to be, in one way or an other, based almost exactly on the ancients' model. The analysis carried out during this work has shown how the political arena and the traditional axis of power became interdependent. Political figure circulated freely, moving from one area to another in their pursuit of meaning, without the slightest apprehension. This pursuit of meaning or of identity has led political heroes, seeking to flee everyday difficulties, to make us of the ebb and flow of symbolism and politics in order to construct new identities, new beliefs, and in order to construct a new basis for the relationships with the other, with society and with the universe. If the reading about figures of traditional power has been thus effective, it is because this model has become the matrix of French writings. This attachment to values has given the issue of modernity a dual quelity : on the one hand in terms of being a national treatment of the subject liberated from the pitfalls of nature ; and on the other hand, one which is perceived as the establisment of the new tradition. In each of these two cases, French novelists have tried to make their characters and their writting adhere to this vision of things
