Martinez, Kamir. "Entre violence et resistance : la réinsertion de la femme africaine subsaharienne dans l'histoire." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCA018/document.
Full textIn relation to the immediate history, contemporary African literature contributes to the denunciation of the violence of postcolonial regimes and civil wars. These new forms of writing are characterized both by the urgency and by the intention to move away from European forms, giving rise to a universalizing writing and the claim of the novel as a work of art. This contribution is proposed, from nine Francophone, Anglophone and Hispanophone novels published between 1990 and 2000, to explore and analyse the reintegration of Sub-Saharan African women in the official archives. Through fictional testimonies inspired by real facts and stories of the private sphere, these authors create a new imagination about African women evolving between violence and resistance. Through an interdisciplinary approach, we will try to identify the images of the woman in these novels, as well as the stylistic and linguistic means in the process of the reinterpretation of the archives and the reintegration of the African Sub-Saharan woman in history
En relación a la historia inmediata, la literatura africana contemporánea contribuye a la denuncia de la violencia de los regímenes poscoloniales y de las guerras civiles. Estas nuevas formas de escritura se caracterizan tanto por la urgencia de escribir como por la intención de alejarse de las formas de expresión europeas, dando lugar a una escritura universal y a la reivindicación de la novela como obra de arte. Esta contribución se propone de explorar y analizar la reintegración de las mujeres africanas subsaharianas a los archivos oficiales, a partir de nueve novelas de expresión francesa, inglesa y española, publicadas entre 1990 y 2000. A través de testimonios ficticios inspirados por hechos reales e historias de la vida privada, estos autores y autoras crean una nueva imagen de las mujeres africanas desenvolviéndose entre la violencia y la resistencia. A través de un enfoque interdisciplinario, intentaremos identificar las imágenes de la mujer en estas novelas, así como el estilo y el lenguaje en el proceso de reinterpretación de los archivos y la reintegración de la mujer africana subsahariana en la historia
Muthoni, Wanjira. "La femme et les problèmes sociaux chez les romancières noires francophones." Montpellier 3, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986MON30023.
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 textWoman Images Woman is a character prominent in African literature. Combed, she was the subject of many comments and analyzes by African authors who were particularly prolific on the subject. Although these are different angles and perspectives, all or nearly tackled the crucial issue of Women. Their works are, in fact, marked by the omnipresence of the theme. Literary inspiration, true muse of the writer writing, this woman remains inexhaustible well from which we continuously resource. Indeed, very few, if any are works in which only appears no female figure. Whether, as a main character or single protagonist, the woman is always projected in the African literary space in the heart of the plot, where she is actively involved in its development and contributes to the meaning of the work

Full textConfluence of sociological theories, political movements and moral philosophies regarding the situation of women in general, and within their social, political and economic context in particular, feminism has always embraced worldwide ambitions. In this resolute struggle for women liberation, feminism changed the face several times, and was often divided into trends and streams sometimes opposed to one another with regard to the meaning of the struggle to lead. How is the postcolonial African woman going to react to feminism which can be considered as one of the forms of Western imperialism having for a long time acted in the guise of a universalistic discourse of women liberation? This is the question that Ken Bugul has already asked herself. This study intends to situate Ken Bugul's feminist thought and position at the cross-section of feminist and postcolonial theories

Full textIn the Horn of Africa French-speaking literature, there are very often the caricatured images of female characters who are engaged in a difficult daily life. In both texts Waberi and Nuruddin Farah, female characters are constantly on the run to escape the tragic fate of a painful existence where moral and material/financial poverty is a major obstacle. If one of the factors that tends the female characters towards effective marginalization is related to a cantankerous space, dominated “by the vicious will of an imperial Sun”, there are also others who are contributing to stifle their identity in a traditional environment where "anything out of the herd is the elsewhere, the unknown distance, the limbo of oblivion”. We integrate this essentially misogynist perception in a critical size where marginalization related to exploration of the female body in” the nights in Addis Ababa takes shape over the narrative through exploitation the sexual rites that is graved in the flesh of female characters as” a surface where society registers the various terms of transaction”. This present thesis questions initially on issues related to the gender issue in the novelistic universe of writers while taking into account the popular imagination on the representations of women in the Horn of Africa

Full textIn the first part, though violence is not spectacular, it will decline in the form of obligations arisen from unsatisfied lusts. The confrontations will be one against oneself, one against another and one against all the social discriminations. Then, violence generated by invisible forces will constitute the second part. We have compared two systems of thought and action. In addiction, the veil on the impact of ancestral traditions would be lifted. Esoteric and Christian traditions are questioned in a modern society that will not recognize their utility. Finally, contrarily of their cotemporaries, Rwiri has remaind faithful to the traditional academic style

Full textSlavery is the chronotope of "Tituba" by M. Condé and "Beloved" by T. Morrison. Slavery is a paradigmatic heritage in other novels by these authors, as well as in Alice Walker's and Gisèle Pineau's art ; it determines the contemporary racial relationships. The splitting up of the slave's body calls to mind the pattern of sewing, narrative weaving, re-membering of the social body, and reinventing a traditionally feminine work. The highlighting of performative power of the master's words reminds us the historicity and the politic aspect of the invention of racism in the plantation system. The example of women's beauty and its racialization illustrates the complicated co-construction of gender and race. The writing of past history of slavery points out and explains the present time, but it requires a painful fight against various processes of individual and collective repression. "Beloved" and "The Color Purple" remind us of the importance of rememory, while "Paradise", "Morne Câpresse" and "Heremakhonon" tell about memory in excess. The criticism of historian claim for objectivity belongs to a global questioning of science on the one hand, and of the heritage of Enlightenment on the other. The ambivalences of postmemory confront the contemporary sacralization of memorial and testimonial literature. Postcolonial haunting is seen in a nex light, quite ironic. The analysis of dialectic motherhood in "Beloved", "Tituba" or "Rosie Carpe" allows us to conceptualise the link between national storytelling, racialization of motherhood and political control of women's bodies. Reading and analysing the novels with the concept of intersectionality shows a global deconstruction of womanhood, freed from the stress of reproductive sexuality. At the crossroad of women's power to give birth and death, the midwife is a recurring character. The midwife is often accused of being a witch, and she belongs to a feminine mythology that can turn the stigma around. The witch is born from rivalry in both religious and medical fields. In Toni Morrison's, Maryse Condé's or Marie Ndiaye's novels, the witch is an intercultural invention ; her parodic and performative strength undermines literary categories. Born from the trauma of slavery, the novels outline the pattern of concrete utopias. The totalitarian and separatist aspect of these utopias appears in the grinning face of the contemporary eschatological hope: the sect. Therefore any hope of a better future seems to be ridiculous ; when the return to a primary space, turning back in time, is dying in the impossible way back to Africa. The "Négritude" of Aimé Césaire is dismissed, and so are the hopes of "Créolité", by a literature that rejects post-racial utopia. There is not any idealization of movement in these novels, which tell contemporary migrations and pains of exile condition. Although the narrative strategies are different, they all intend to expose and overcome the color line

Full textFurther to the violent colonial conquests and the postcolonial civil wars, many writers, men and women, applied themselves to depict contemporary Africa's political and cultural upheavals. Female figures emerge from these struggles of power and the underlying resistance movements. Holding political sponsibilities or commited in revolutionary missions, they scope of African societies’tendancies to corruption and despotism through subversive speeches and/or protesting reactions. Based on recent texts published between 1975 and 2005, this dissertation proposes to highlight the rhetorical and stylistic processes at work in the development of a women’s political imaginary. Following an interdisciplinary methodology, we will try to determine the cultural and ideological issues of these constant features and/or poetic innovations in the rewriting, modelling or subversion processes of African struggles’memory

Full textAt the origin of this research is a taxonomic debate between two different views on the work and the ethnicity of the writer Marie NDiaye. Her Franco-Senegalese descent and skin color have determined some critics to integrate her works within the Francophone black literature, while the novelist lived mainly in Europe and said she was shaped by the Western mentality and culture. Yet in her last two novels, Africa is essential for the diegesis. Our curiosity was aroused by these different positions. To distinguish between the fascination for an exotic location to which the novelist is often associated and an unequivocal belonging to the literary field of Francophone Africa, we conducted a study on three levels. To distinguish between the fascination for an exotic location to which the novelist is often associated and an unequivocal belonging to the literary field of Francophone Africa, we conducted a study on three levels. The starting point was to meet the most important influences that have shaped the works of Marie NDiaye and to find the place of the novels of the corpus in an obvious literary tradition. The second part examines the narrative and descriptive dimensions of Three Strong Women and Ladivine in order to detect signs of miscegenation. The last thread studies the figures of the imaginary and connects the two works with myths and symbols derived from the Greco-Roman antiquity and the Catholicism. At the end of our thesis, we think we have achieved a rigorous work which proves that the literary lineage of Marie NDiaye is on the side of the French literature

Full textThe work analyses Black women's oppression in the fiction of Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrisson, Alice Walker, Gloria Naylor, Paule Marshall and Buchi Emecheta, Flora Nwapa, Mariama Bâ, Bessie Head, Ama Ata Aidoo. It shows that in America, this oppression is related to racism, sexism and to class. In Africa, it stems from colonialism and neocolonialism, from tradition and religious conceptions, and also from the new world economic order. The analysis of these situations of oppression puts forward a "black feminism" which aims at constructing Black women's identity through their relations to traditional values : ancestral beliefs, motherhood as a means of social integration, etc. It thus establishes "black feminism" as a manifestation of the North/South dialogue. It is also a feminist interpretation of Panafricanism since it tries to bring together two peoples that have been separated yet share the same origin. However, the heterogeneity of women's situations creates utopias which are shaped according to the specificity of women's situations but fall under the general perpective of women's subordination and their struggle for its eradication

Full textIdentity constitutes one of the fundamental themes of African literature. It takes on a resonance in the writing of Senghor and Ken Bugul as well as in the writing of many Senegalese writing. It allows the establishment of an epistemological footbridge with the body. Therefore, the discourses about the body help to understand what is at stake concerning identity which livens up the dramatic tension of the narrative structures. For example, in the work of Cheikh Hamidou Kane, the body becomes the motive for a metaphysical apprehension of the "esse". In Ken Bugul’s autobiographies, the affirmation of identity of the feminine "Me" refers to the existential condition, especially when the literatures show the conflicts of gender. However, we agree that the debate on identity and the body has its importance in the understanding in the psychology of the character. It also has its importance in the construction of meaning, through which society reveals its vices and virtues. Moreover, that is why in the works of Sembene, Abasse Ndione, Sanou Lô, Marouba Fall, Seydi Sow or still El Hadji Momar Sambe, the social implication of literary discourse fragments of meaning to which all writing about the body refers. The ambition of this thesis is to construct a comparative exchange between their richness of meaning

Full textIn the context of the independences of former French colonies, the poetic impetus of militant authors such as Aimé Césaire, Léopold Sédar Senghor or Léon-Gontran Damas is adamantly linked to the rebuttal of colonialism and to political activism. Intellectuals, writers, and artists strongly condemn European imperialisms. For the “Négritude” poets, poetry stands as the most obvious testimony of political and literary commitment. Their poetic works, relying both on oral practices inherited from Africa and on relatively classic prosodic styles, is the vehicle for political messages and reclaiming of African culture. Subsequently, novel writing in sub-Saharian Africa tackles more and more themes of slavery, colonization, colonial alienation, neo-colonialism, all of this becoming empowering processes. The question is to open on a renewed vision of the world, giving the French language a new creative trace, through the authors’ representation. Therefore, Francophone literature reclaims its singularity. This is especially true with Cameroon and Congo: for instance, Ahmadou Kourouma posits that his literature is malinké. Tchicaya U. Tam’si declares that if the French language is colonizing him, then he colonizes it in turn. The colonized rebellion paradoxically leans on the French colonizer language, while trying to displace and advance it through writing. Francophone literature in sub-Saharian Africa is the place of differences and of “différances”, for it bears the traces of many sociological reflexions, and becomes, through its diversity, a place for creativity, liberty and hybridity. We also witness the rise of political protest novel against dictatures, corruption, civil wars ; for example Ahmadou Kourouma, writing Allah n’est pas obligé, does not bother anymore with the rules of literature but excels in the practice of a “rotten language” to describe an atrocious war. This is a form of creativity similar to the one that give birth to creole, “français petit-nègre”, “camfranglais” and one that African sub-Saharian literature explore. It is in this perspective opened by subversive writing and reading practices that women emancipation in Africa takes place. The case of Calixthe Beyala, among others, illustrates this evolution of the status of women in society, beyond the sexual male/female divide. This process stems from post-colonialism and independentist movements gaining power and focus in the XXth century. Women distinguish themselves thanks to their writing and speech in a public sphere reserved to men. Novels written by sub-Saharian African women carefully describe traditional practices, polygamy, forced marriages. These writers, through their acquired freedom speech, have gained the power to participate in the public debate. This form of emancipation takes hold of a language and an art formerly reserved to men because of traditions. Violence, slang words, obscene or pornographic language are no longer part of a male monopoly on poetic language. This poetic creation is vested differently by women writers, who are therefore able to express themselves

Full textThe works presented in this study are mostly from major writers. They reflect the socio-cultural and political values which have conditionned the east-african literary production as a whole. The latter is mainly characterised by the affirmation of the cultural identity the writer's dependance on the editors, and the political situation which hinders its development. However the main concern of these works aims at the elaboration of a philosophy of life which responds to the new needs and hopes of a society anxious about its future. The emergence of a female literature by authors concerned with women's issues makes necessary the analysis of the conditions of its genesis. Sociological and ethnographical studies prove that these works correspond to the deep feelings of a female population who according to christine obbo "hold up half the sky". In the literary creation social adjustments are expressed through the dynamism and the ambivalence of women imagery tending to two apparently contradictory poles which turn in fact complementary. The woman is associated to an image both positive and negative, mother or witch, virgin or prostitute, source of life or death. This study therefore analyses the literary representation of socio-economical or political elements in terms of individual creation. The analysis reveals the dynamisms of a progressive evolution of a formerly stereotyped and even mythical female vision towards a perception of the individual and his selfassesment. The latter correspond to the discovery of a new aesthetic form heralding the birth of a female literature

Full textThe comparative study of Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (Harriet Jacobs), Our Nig ; Sketches from the Life of a Free Black (Harriet Wilson), and The Bondwoman’s Narrative (Hannah Crafts) aims at opening up new perspectives on the specificity of the female subject, through the slave narrative’s autobiographical writing. If these women writers stand as privileged witnesses of the female condition in Antebellum America, they do not remain passive nonetheless. The aim of this dissertation is to approach the links between « writing » and « feminine », by taking into account the text itself, be it autobiographical or fictionalized. Significantly enough, self-consciousness, identity and the construction of a self through writing are definitely major components of the African American literary tradition in which outstanding voices are singled out. The slave narrative tends to drift away from autobiography in order to afford its survival and conforms to the conventions that proved successful, thus revealing the truth of the subject. In this perspective, gender is the key issue of this study which brings an exclusive insight on black women’s writing. Discursive difference, writing the female body, and a staged conflicted subject are the core themes of this work. As a follower of Dickens and Byron, Hannah Crafts creates a unique blend of genres, while Harriet Wilson’s modus operandi is to rewrite Emerson’s reflections on society, and Harriet Jacobs offers a subversion of the sentimental novel. By all means, these female slave narratives’ « tour de force » lies in the aesthetics and poetics of the genre located at the crossroads of autobiography, sentimental fiction, the gothic and the picaresque. The subject determines its own sexuation, which enables the female subject to break free from the male subject. This dissertation also offers the opportunity to raise the question of history and literature. The slave narrative falls within the frame of literature as the writer’s political stance is an invitation to reconsider avant-garde women’s literary production within the African American literary canon
Jaozandry, Marie. "Les femmes africaines en immigration." Thesis, Paris Est, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PEST0075.
Full textOur study of Immigrated African women opens up the way to a new reading of the female character in novels and short stories by three women writers : Calixte Belaya, Leila Sebbar and Michèle Rotoson. This controversial subject of the African woman character arouses many crucial debates. African women have often been accused of having remained behind, compared to other women throughout the world. They need changes as much in their perception of things as in their implication in the development of their country. Education is one of the best way for them to acquire skills and essential qualities of a dynamic growth phase.It is thus necessary to return in the world of knowledge to think about her professional commitment and to arm herself of necessary tools as well for her personal fulfilment as for her own country. Obviously it is this context that a few women are devoted themselves to writing and to try to fight for coming out this dulling which freezes them up and prevent them from evolving in the modern society.So as part of this study for the end of my studies, I will analyse the career and practical experiences of African Women in Immigration. This work is based on novels and short stories written by women who inspired themselves from their daily lives to convey their helplessness which is often part of a migrant population. At the time when these novels were written, it was mainly men who motivated by the idea of a better job, migrated to France bringing along their wives and their children with them. It is anymore the case today. In our study we are going to follow the experiences of a few heroines of novels by revealing their successes and their failures. At the same time we are going to bring out the positive and negative influences of their social backgrounds, the striking and indelible facts which constitute the factors of personal and professional changes

Full textThe present study aims at analyzing the female speech in the texts of Assia Dejbar, Calixthe Beyala, Aminata Sow Fall and Nedjma. The title of the research accounts for two major concepts: interlanguage and radicalization. We base our reflection on three main bets, the first one, defines the interlanguage and questions the existence or not of objectives common to its use by women novelists. The second part, analyzes through new theoretical and critical approaches on language, novels Nowhere in my father's house, Naked woman, black woman, The strike of the battu and the almond. The third part deals with the notion of radicalization by emphasizing the language of the body, reflected in the whole of writing. The reading of the literary texts allowed to divide them into two categories. On the one hand, there are novels that lash and fight by means of a modest and reserved language, and, on the other hand, those who denounce and affirm themselves, through an extremely transgressive and violent language

Full textThe surrealistic idea has surely had a great influence on the founders of the Négritude-Movement. We are able to find it in the works and poetics of Césaire, Senghor and Damas, and especially in the surrealistically orientated review Tropiques as well as in the critical reception of the African literature. The first alliance of the representatives of the first generation of African poets with Surrealism is due to some of their shared objectives such as the questioning of the colonial system, the critic of colonialism and the recovery and revalorization of the African cultural heritage. The first African poets like Senghor, Césaire and Damas tried to incorporate and apply the surrealistic program to their proper context in order to achieve their own targets, such as: poetically, like Rimbaud declared, to change life and politically, like Marx stated, to change the world. The relationship between Surrealism and African literature presents the main subject of this paper. The dissertation treats particularly authors, who have not yet been examined from a surrealistic point of view. Concerning this thesis, Dambudzo Marechera is regarded above all as an exemplary representative for new literary avant-garde writing from Africa. The area of research for this study is limited most notably on forms of literary Avant-gardes in Africa south of the Sahara and most of all on surrealistic forms. This will be examined by the means of artistic conceptions and philosophy as well as poetic extracts of the postcolonial Zimbabwean writer, which will demonstrate the tendencies of a new trend of writing. The dissertation examines the relationship between European Surrealism and African poetry stemmed from the first and later generations of African writers through Césaire and Marechera. Additionally, it presents a pleadge for pushing the boundaries of research in the field of Surrealisms of African literature and awakening the interest for more research concerning the topic of this paper.

Full textRepresentations and identities of African descent in Peru and Gabonese women in literature is a comparative study on the status of women in their respective societies. In either society, one cannot fully grasp the experience of these two categories of women without looking into their social status, their life and the role (specific or not) that they play in their different communities. In Peru, women of African descent are constantly hobbled by many stereotypes and prejudice. We are interested to know the forms they take in contemporary Peruvian literature. That is why the analysis of female characters in the literary texts selected for this study represents a crucial step toward questioning this stereotyping dynamics. More importantly, attempts to “deconstruct” this social malady by Gregorio Martínez through such works as Canto de sirena, Crónica de músicos y diablos and Cuatro cuentos eróticos de Acarí were also analized.In Gabon, on the other hand, women's condition, their social status and the discrimination that they have to face is mainly due to the dual effects of traditions and misogyny in the modern society. In such novels Histoire d' Awu (“The Story of Awu”) and Féminin interdit (“No females”) by Justine Mintsa and Honorine Ngou, the characters are portrayed as the victims of traditional society because of their lack of freedom. Because of certain customs, women are oppressed, and abused; “they are constantly silenced, denied humanity and made nonfunctional”.

Full textThe media and literature, from time immemorial, appear to be inextricably linked. So do we also take delight in underlining the complementary and interdependence of the two fields that develop and gain ground together. We speak of African literature, it will be proper to say that its emergence and engraving the media and especially in the press are very recent facts, in a given period, African fiction comes up, with dazzling speed in the press in France as well as in Africa ? Presenting the problem of the African literature media coverage in France and in Africa in this way as a main hypothesis, this thesis sets out to clear up the links between the media, especially the press and African fiction. This work comprises three major parts : The first has to do with the genesis and development of the media and African Literature. The second part of this work examines the criteria of media coverage of African Literature. It is a study of reception of the African literary fact in the media in France as well as in Africa. “The media, writers and authorial function” is the title of the third part. It shows on the basis of studies in the field of sociology applied to literature, the work of art has some links with social structures
Abossolo, Pierre Martial. "Fantastique et rapport au surnaturel : essai de lecture comparée des textes français et africains." Grenoble 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009GRE39041.
Full textThis three-part work compares a certain number of French and African narrative texts (novels and short stories) in which one can find side by side the natural and the supernatural. In the western context, this juxtaposition gave rise to the genre known as the fantastic, characterized by themes and esthetics that can easily be linked to the eighteen century rationalism. After reading African texts where this juxtaposition can be observed, we wonder if it is possible to also say talk of fantastic test taking into consideration a number of cultural parameters. The first part of this work tries to show that the notion of fantastic can be a tributary of the cultural conception of the supernatural. It questions the appropriateness of African texts with the western conceptions of the fantastic elaborated with respect to the relationship of the West to the supernatural. It also surveys non western approaches of this notion. At the end of this part, we come to the conclusion that it could be talked of the African fantastic with regards to certain criteria, and that its modalities need to be defined. In the second part, in a comparative approach, we present a survey of setting, time, characters, objects and themes of the texts that constitute our corpus. We try to show each time how in the French context, the supernatural which always appears in a sudden way by disrupting the normal order of things cause hesitation (as defined by Todorov). That is believe or not to believe. We also show that this is not always the case in the African texts where we can find other forms of hesitation that can challenge the todorovian, hesitation especially in laymen and those who are not initiated who find it difficult to explain the inner meaning of things. They are thus torn between the African tradition and the western modernism. The third part is concerned with the esthetics, particularly the techniques of juxtaposition of the natural and the supernatural, to the narration moods and the choice of words and rhetoric used by the writers. It shows on the one hand, that in the French texts, it's about writing to disrupt the story with the goal of provoking indecision in the reader. On the other hand, indecision in the African texts are linked, both in the reader and the writer, to the choice to be made between the traditional African narratives techniques and techniques pertaining to modern western genres on the one hand, and French language and African languages on the other hand

Full textAlthough seemingly traditional, the study of the female identity in the prose of Ingeborg Bachmann is in all respects fruitful. It didn’t simply aim to describe the universe of the woman; it gave the opportunity of questioning under a linguistic, intertextual and sociocritic view, the articulation of the identity to the writing of the woman. Once you overcome the shelves related to the fragmentary state of the whole narrative prose of Bachmann, this work then proposes itself to highlight with literal elements, the themes of angst, the discomfort and the narrowness or confinement. Therefore, this thesis comes together as a work centered on the speech with the objective to put the problematic of the female identity in relation with the current question of the permeability of the sexual kinds, via a textual and social examination. First of all, this work will allow us to explain the committed nature of Bachmann’s speech, centered on the recognition of the female writing. The results obtained through the literal analysis will lead us to conclude that Bachmann’s woman’s identity is out of confinement. Therefore, her writing escapes from the rigidity of the boundaries between sexual kinds and literary genres

Full textWoman is an allegory, then a symbol : a symbol of matter ("earthly venus") and a symbol of transcendence ("heavenly venus"). In megafon, the appearance of the symbol denotes the passage from the abstract to the concrete, and from escape to commitment. Except for antigone and elbiamor, woman is a sign to be deciphered in the great book of the creation, to use an augustinian image. Childhood symbolizes contradictions experienced between two concepts of the future and three feelings : nostalgia, joy and hope. Woman and childhood mean respectively "non-being", the "geographical" void and the "not yet happened to", the "historical" void of argentina, a country in search of itself

Full textThis three-part study takes a global look at the phenomenon of Sub-Saharan Africa's literary magazines which, from its onset in the 19th century, presented itself as the springboard for the first literary productions. In all three politico-linguistic zones or regions (francophone, lusophone and anglophone Africa) examined the literary press, which has followed the same itinerary as Africa's written literature, has also generally been the birth place of the first generation of writers. The analysis of the periodicals which took the form of seeking answers to questions related to the principal characteristics of the literary magazines, their main actors, their content, their titles and subtitles, editorials, censorship, conditions of production distribution and reception, financial implications and geographical locations of the regions of publication, made possible the drawing up of the typology of africa's present day literary press. In the last part of this work, Xiphefo (Mmozambique) and Promethee (Benin), two little magazines of the 1980s founded by two groups of young Africans, are used as examples to facilitate a better understanding

Full textThe work of Ulfa al-Idlibî portrays a crucial period of the social and cultural history of Syria. It is important to consider how a pioneer among cultured women regarded early twentieth century Syrian society and how her literary works reflect her vision. The present thesis is a sociological analysis of her work. Its purpose is to study Idlibî's position with respect to a Syrian society caught between traditions and the modern world, to see to what extent her literary work is an expression of her viewpoints, especially her views on woman in patriarchal society, and of her attempts to reconcile, as far as possible, the traditions she approves of with the demands of the present day. The present study starts with an outline of the earliest women's tales in the Middle East and mentions the features characteristic of the stories of Idlibî and other women writers of her generation. Following a presentation of Idlibî's life, the study proceeds to analyze the relation between men and women before marriage, the education of women and its impact on this relation. .

Full textThis thesis aims to define the Atwoodian woman. The association of the feminist movement with Atwood’s work seems essential and highly pertinent to such a project. We shall therefore determine the evolution of the author’s version of feminism and its fields of experiementation, followed by this analysis of the reciprocal influence between feminist theory and Canadian writer. We will consider the allusions and references to the women’s movement in her work, both in terms of inspiration as well as a critique of the discourse. In addition to Atwood’s interest in feminism, this study shall also be concerned with the relationship between her female protagonists and the cause. This ppaper will examine how the different facets of the feminist movement relative to real desires of women have led the author to use her characters as illustrations of “ordinary women” whose daily lives are often neglected by the movement ‘elite. The comments of several literary and feminist critics along with those sociologists and psychoanalysts shall contribute to the study of these ambiguous interactions, in order to develop a relevant definition of the Atwoodian woman
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

The author constructs a rather realistic picture of the Bavarian country people. Portrayals of women belonging to the upper middle classes are more satirized. Women's problems in the sphere of education, religion, sexuality, marriage, family life and labor are thoroughly analyzed as well as Thoma’s point of view as to women's emancipation

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 first step of this study is to try an “essay of a theory for the present litérary writing in the french-speaking communities of Africa”. Secondarily, the purpsose was to give another definition, through “another reading”of the african french-speaking literary fact, the nature and the function of the dominated contries literatures. In a historicity perspective, it appeared that the african french –speaking literature, in its all, has been set-up since 1930 in an “autonomous” social word, which general copyrights are principally based on the cultural catégories, knows as the “oral” and “traditional” ones. On a pratical point of view, the oral way and the african oral tradition, far to invariably be the extension of the proclamation of a “negro soul”, are essentially the “ rule of the african literary game”. Subjects of stakes and places of tensions, the oral way and the oral tradition are used by writers of the african field, in their need of structural setting up: the pioneers (Césaire/Senghor) for the maintaining of their “dominant status”; the pretenders (Pacéré/Zadi) for their pretentiousness for the “classicism”. Strategically beneficial and symbolically rich of resources, the oral and the traditional items suffer from all kind of amplifications, of magnifications and extrapolations (speechs relating to the identity, manipulation of the roots and the purity, arguments of the sacred and secret ). In all case , the literary act in Africa or in the french-speaking communities, like the political or economical act is a “calculated act” that the rationality to be hold , needs a perfect knowledge of what has been agreed to call, following the Bourdieu's terminology a “symbolic field” and/or the “african literary field”
