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 textSince its begininings black african francophone poetry, has shown the marks of the resurgence of ancestral values. But the traditional images, archtypes and myths have been remoulded and reshaped in order to fit contemporary collective imaginative processes. This is what this study refers to as poetic modernity: the rediscovery of ancient models to inter new world visions. The concept of modernities in black african poetry can first be observed in the different chronoltypes or time patterns used by the poets. On the one hand, there is mythical time (divided into reversible, cyclical, and rhythmical t and on the other, historical or irreversible time. This allows us to uncover two major poetic types-- archeological and ideological. By exploring the mythical properties of form archeological poetry aspires to authenticity through the use of more formal techniques. This becomes manifest when poets attempt to converse with their cultures, to diaologue with their mot tongue and invent other levels of discourse--those of the poet, himself, as well as those of society. In so doing poetry roots into myth, as the roots of a tree seek earth's nourishing substance, to tap the pre-existing structures and forms which are then renewed and transformed. This poetic vein, happily, does not limit itself to erudite mythological and metaphysical considerations, but is, above all, concerned with renewing mythological forms, for the poetry which this study describes as ideological, however, one must deplore the absence of any real esthetic concerns. Poetry here remains an empty shell, full of its own self-importa full of flourishes and rhetorical embellishments, but lacks true poetic spirit. These are texts where the poetic activis certain writers reduces the creative spirit to mere-but invasive--ideological mutterings
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
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 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”

Full textThe followers of the Negritude accustomed us to the confrontation between Africa and Europe through the staging of a character-dreaming of Europe with stereotyped images of France conveyed by the colonial school-who is confronted with the conditions of exile during his stay in Europe and the remoteness of motherland which bears all his aspirations. But for the writers of Migritude, emigration to Europe takes a different turn; it is no longer motivated by a desire for discovery but an escape from the native land which has become repulsive, while Europe is in the eyes of migrants, an attractive place embellished by the stories of immigrants who, have already made the journey. The present research seeks to reflect on the change that has taken place on the representation of immigration in Europe, from the writers of the first generation to those of the second generation

Full textThis study examines the emergence of Subsaharian Francophone African criticism. In the beginning we try to proove that traditionnal african society have also a kind of criticism which applyed on the tales, legends and myths. In colonisation's years appears a criticism which is only claims his support about colonial system. With the Négritude movement, criticism became one occasion to show African civilisation value. Critics think that literature and novelists must be against colonisation. In seventies some critics like M. Kane, A. Koné and others established that the sources of African novel can be found in the African story-telling tradition. After, we try to show the another criticism discours : the influence of new european criticism with S. Anozié, question about the language used by writers and the criticism of female writers. We also examine how magazine talk about African literature

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 textPeriodicals such as Liaison, L’Etoile de l’AEF or La Semaine de l’A.E.F. played a fundamental role in what H.J. Lüsebrink called “the conquest of the public space” by the colonised elites, in this case those of French Equatorial Africa (Gabon, Middle Congo, Ubangui Shari and Chad), and in particular, in the constitution of a local literary field. Since 1950, there was a profusion of journals, thanks to the colonial press which managed the rare printing presses and publishing houses of the continent. This study examines the influence of the press on the birth of the first African works, especially for the Frech Equatorial Africa of this time. It refers to a founding era of the African literary history, still too little really studied to day. Although, it is not centered as often on books, but on periodicals which are essential keys for any historical approach of literary life

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 criticism is becoming increasingly important a africa as a whole, and interest in the subject is rapidly growing in this country. This book presents views on euvrent issues in criticism of the african literary type; it also presents the application of theory to examples of the novel and the poeticy. Wider horizons are sketched in the general introduction, touching on tradition, modernism and all ideas of the african cultural context. We have examined the writing to african authors themselves and the work of such critics as l. Kesteloot, j. Jhan, j. Chevrier, m. Kane, t. Melone, j. P. Sartre, m. Beti and l. S. Senghor. In parts two and three, the critical approaches are seen from the view points central to humanism thought : the relation of literature to history, the problem of "form" and "content" in literature, the question of literature and polical commitment. Commentaries in our thse essay to explain theory and strategy to the african criticism. This exploration of critical judgments and perceptions throws useful light on the connection between the humanism and structuralism. This book stresses, however, that african criticism cannot be seen simply in academic terms; wich rejects also the illusion of "neutrality" in such a field of literary of criticism

Full textOur work is a study on the african poetical essay based on poetics and stylistics. It supports to fill in a theorical and methodological gap and give a new orientation to the studies of poetics and stylistics as practised in the african universities and elsewhere, on the african poems, by questionning their stylistical characteristics linkied of course to the poetical study. The question, for us, was then to produce on the african poetry a poetical essay based on the poetical aesthetics that sustains it and the language determinations which structurally determine its literarity. As for the question of stylistical characteristics, it has consisted in raising the problem of stylistical and hermeneutical approaches that must be exploited to solve the problem of the description and the interpretation of the african poetical texts. To work on the stylistical characteristics of these texts, a methodological tool has been shaped that we have called stylistical semiosis of the poetics. That tool relies on two semiotical levels (the expression and the content) which, in the analysis, take into account the stylematical groups that they present. Its purpose, by using the semiostylistical methods reinforced by the tensive semiotics, is to point out the functionning of the language determinations that make up the statement structure of the african poetical essay and their ethical, thymical and noetical reach relatively to their shown intentionality

Full textThe present thesis analyses the images and representations of the « Central African » mission through French and African literary and cinematographic works of the 20th and 21st centuries. Its problematics consists in showing how literature and cinema take over the particular object of this military colonial history through the specific case of the Voulet-Chanoine column events that include some unsaid, in order to make a real industry of literary and artistic creation out of it. Then, from the literary and cinematographic works that have been created and kept in the corpus, it gets down to looking for the mechanisms giving rise to the colonial mythologies and their meanings. The purpose of this tripartite imagological study that must be considered in terms of a comparatist approach in the form of a historico-literary criticism, is not to search for the historical truth about the « strangest and bloodiest chapter in the history of the French expeditions in Sudan », but rather to bring out the ideology behind it in the form of images and representations of the African and European worlds, by making use of the authors’ literary style and the aesthetics of the works. The demonstration of this problematics on the basis of a corpus made of military stories as well as fictitious literary and cinematographic works, leads to expressing the power of fiction through the emergence of the literary myth that gives power to imagination, the « crazy one in the house »

Full textAfrican literature end cinema came out of a historical context whose main characteristics were questionning of Western imperialism. The Africans had to set up a thinking which might fight back the legacy of colonization and pull the black continent out of the margins of hstory. Considered as an anomic zone driven off to the confines of the Western world, Africa fell victim to an economical exploitation which was justifiedby the debasing of the black man down to the lowest degree of the human civilization scale, and by the denial of any possibility for him of a thinking that could be rational, relevant, and most of all liable to be taken into account. The will to stand up against the Western world actually showed through the establishing of a thought that glorified the values of a hypothetical negro civilisation, which does not actually account for a complex reality, and even less for the complexity of the works of art. Our study is an attempt at showing that the sublimation of marginality and wandering through committing to a cause (be it negro or proletarian) is the sheer consequence of historical data. Also, it will point that such sublimation cannot entirely quench the eagerness for the Absolute and the passion for "reality" which are the core of Jean Rouch's "cinéma-vérité", Idrissa Ouédraogo's movies, or Djibril Diop Mambéty's "compulsive cinema", or much of the late French-speakinf African literature, all of which have met the anguished embarrassment of the critics who were used to dealing with a manichean or naive discourse. Therefore, analyzing the topography of marginality and wandering in our set of texts is a good way of pointing the metaphorical displacement which has allowed the shifting from sociological and political statement to "poetry". The field of marinality and wandering, because it is now marked by chaos, ultimately corresponds to the poetical sphere - literary or cinematographic - which is at once sheltering, exile, and radical estrangement

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
Bédia, Jean-Fernand. "Les écrivains francophones d'origine mandingue et la question du modèle." Bordeaux 3, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005BOR30025.
Full textThe problematic notion of identity in French-speaking African novels, through the question of paradigm, aims at circumventing one difficulty : the inertia of a controversy subjected to the historical contingencies at the origin of the francophone world. Thus emerges the objective of considering the sphere of the novel in all its constituent structures, that is sociological, religious, institutional, historical and linguistic. The narrative structure is modelled on the paradigm of the "donsomana" and the "Soundjata-fasa" through the significant presence of esoteric oratories like proverbs, as well as the mythical couple man-woman, the pre-eminent heroes of the oral tales of griots. The consequence of this resourcefulness can hence be appreciated in the epistemological renewal of the founding aspects of realism and fiction : characters and setting. The second discriminating notion of identity, which reveals the profound nature of the writing paradigm, is the language spoken by the protagonists or narrators. Hence, the language of the novel, in its singularity, is primarily an echo of the system of representation. Ahmadou Kourouma's "rape" of the French language, like the "fraternity of huts" of the Mandingue languages and the French language in the novels of Massa Makan Diabaté, are, together with the "classicism" of Djibril Tamsir Niane, linguistic concepts which, by claiming an identity affirmation, transpire into the political field. These two aspects of the aesthetic model in the novels of writers of Mandingue origin or culture essentially constitute the prolegomena of ethno-criticism as endogenous method

Full textThis study is an attempt to experiment with the classification of Sub-Saharan African literature in the light of “cultural areas”, a perspective which was first applied at the international conference “Aires Culturelles et Création Littéraire en Afrique” organised by the UNESCO. From this point of view, Equatorial Africa, which is an area of Bantu culture, and West Africa, which is an area of Sudano-Sahelian culture, make up two distinct frames of reference, even though they are considered as a homogeneous literary group by literary criticism. In the first part several methodological questions are tackled—the main current trends of African literary criticism are based on the historic approach related to the colonial context and the period of independence. They all bear a common trait: the monolithic vision of literary facts. To the global eye, unity appears as something obvious. Problems arising from national literatures, which are supposed to reflect diversity and plurality, conform to the colonial partition of Africa, which has given birth to the balkanisation of this continent. A classification by linguistic areas has emerged from the partitioning of Africa in regions of European influence. An intercultural comparison stands out as a new perspective, which has the advantage of considering African literature as a two-fold entity of unity and diversity. The question that the second part tries to answer is: what does the African literary unity consist of? The cross-section study of two themes: the impact of Black-African spiritual memory on writing and the representation of modern political power are supported by facts which make unity to be perceived as objective. The primitive spirituality that has traditionally justified the African look on the world is an amazing source of spiritual imagery which pervades literature by means of a variety of forms, genres and techniques. This spirituality coexists with the rational discourse in a relation of interference. In the third part, the analysis focuses on the “literary conscience” of literary works—this notion implies both the conscience of a common African identity and, at the same time, the Bantu tribal conscience, for the works of writers coming from Equatorial Africa, and the Sudano-Sahelian tribal conscience, for the works of writers coming from West Africa. Some differences between an “equato-Bantu”-inspired literature and a Sahelian-inspired literature, both with their own characteristics, are then unveiled through a myriad of centres of interest in an internal coherence which justifies literary regional specificities

Full textThe image of the mother is at the center of the negro-African written literature problems such as: bilinguism, search of a cultural identity, nationalism movements, agricultural civilizations and town development, matriarchy-patriarcale clash, Oedipus myth, research of fitting critical methodologies. Such a discomfort expressed through the image of a genitrix gives way to a double challenge: to soil and to re-create it unblemished. This ambiguity is displayed in Mongo Beti, Labou Tansi, Tati-Loutard, Tchicaya, Kourouma, Senghor and in the feminine literature the double image puts to light the characteristics of a specific literature and a given time (mythological critical essays).

Full textThis ph. D. Dissertation deals with the writing, the history and the images of the french-speaking west african novel from 1975 to 1995 in the different countries covered by our study. We present an in-depth analysis of the works of west african novelists (both male and female) and we study the evolution of the historical conditions, the literary techniques, the use of the language. We also investigate the novelists' involvement in generation movements and their sociopolitical images as well as their strategies to achieve efficiency in the process of enforcing a contemporary african fiction

Full textThe travels of African students in a colonial situation are a recurring subject in Frenchspeaking African literature of the 1950s. At the time of de-colonial, political and ideological struggles, some writers such as Cheikh Hamidou Kane, Camara Laye or Aké Loba have put the experience of cultural colonization at the heart of their literary work. Their writings, aboutthe study trips of the main characters to France, are based on a spatial and existential isotopy: a dead-end migration, based on many betrayed promises, dreams with broken perspectives, experiences of deathly dereliction. The study of the literary device of the progressive disenchantment of these characters – African, colonized students – allows to shed light on thesubjectivation process that shapes their barred horizons. Indeed, the ideological deceit of the colonial endeavor hides a movement of existential capture that grabs the character and makes them subjects of domination. Since the turning point of political independencies, the literary outlook on those failed adventures keeps interrogating our present times. These beings, stretched between spaces and universes of opposed values, question the negotiation of postcolonial identities. As if, by entering the mold of the colonized character, by going to meet its mechanisms and models, we had an appointment with the modern-day shapes of their globalized development

Full textThe irruption of Christianism in an already religious ground, the several expressions of the Christian faith in its occidental form, as well as the occidental logical mind, have destabilised the African mentalities. The implantation of the Christianism, with its brutal ways, has surprised and revolted some of the African people. The Christianism has been shown as the only way of salvation. The African man had to choose between his cultural inheritance, and the Christian one. The Christianism was the screen of occidental values. Through this dilemma, the African man was facing the despise of his African traditional believes. It is hard for the African people to live in their African culture and to fulfil the Christian duties. That for their behaviour has been called "syncretism". If the language and the way to behave are the expression of a culture, the African people should deculture themselves to be converted to Christianity ? That is how the first missionaries thought

Full textThe institutionalization of postcolonial studies and the recent development of decolonial studies have highlighted the recognition that intellectuals from former colonized territories enjoy today. Among them, Ngugi wa Thiong'o and Valentin-Yves Mudimbe are respected figures whose writings, both theoretical and fictional, seek to resolve the crises generated by the colonial experience. Aware that this did not end with the wave of independence, they kept alive in their works the utopian desire, that of conceiving a new world where relations between peoples and individuals would be renegotiated, despite the disappointments of the postcolonial regimes. However, the 1994 genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda could well have symbolized the failure of their epistemic detachment efforts with Western modernity. This consisted in the repetition, on the African continent, of a crime similar to the one that had pushed many intellectuals to want to break with the order of which the Shoah was the consequence. On the contrary, Scholastique Mukasonga's texts bear witness to the repetition of the imperative formulated by Ngugi wa Thiong'o and Valentin-Yves Mudimbe, namely the need to achieve a decolonization of subjectivities to initiate an African renaissance. The study of each of their trajectories aims to show the complementarity of these two processes in their works which, separately, open the way to multiple possible futures for humanity

Full textThe emergence of african writers, half a century ago, was greeted with mixed feelings more so as the young writers - under french or english colonial authority - chose to express their thoughts in the latter's language. The evolution of the senegalese - born writer sembene ousmane was the focus of attention here. Emphasis was laid on how he views the role of writer (social aspect and technical aspect) in compa- ison with french novelists of the 19th century; how he assumes western culture and its literary tradition; and finally on the use of african proverbs and cliches in his narrative. This study also showed the stitches where sembene ousmane has been sewing the different bits of his narrative together. Meanwhile these stitches do not jar instead they serve to draw attention on a literary production (work) set concurrently on two scenes and to insist on his peculiar position within the french literature. Above all, there is in his writings evidence of a desire to use the french language with liberty, irrespective of the norms inherent to this language

Full textCalixthe Beyala is part of this new generation of African writers who is trying to redefined the role of a woman in the society. It is through the course and the eyes of female characters that space reveal to the reader. Our analysis is intended to elucidate the organization spatial-temporal three novels of Beyala. We will try in this way, without intending to conceal the strong impression that characterizes feminist writings, to broaden the scope of investigation considering points midway between philosophy and metaphysics. After pointing out the spatial organization is revealed through a bipolar structure reflecting the quest for identity of the woman divided between two worlds and two lifetsyles, we will show that time regarded as the flow of events organised around the concepts : the time of history and time to finish the story in setting out the correlation between ideology and spatial-temporal structures

Full textFrench guyanas is a part of south america situated between brazil and suriname. After its discovery in the 15th century is was bitterly disputed by the european nations. Slavery for blacks was then imagined as a mean of developpint it. The white settlers then tired hard toimpose their culture on the slaves. But the memory of black heritage was preserved first by the maroon slaves, those slaves how escaped from the plantations and formed groups, then by the bossales ans the creoles thus creating a synthesis of the two cultures. The survival of this african culture can be found first in our daily pratises, may it be materially or spiritually ; secondly in an oral litterature made up of folk tales and proverbs found in the songs ans in the dances. Furthermore a written litterature which apparead later but which remains quite modest in nature, reactivals this african memory since rene maran. With the negritude movement the african theme was exclusively used in the search for identity. This could be found in the work of leon damas and other writers who succeeded him but is progressively declining. Thus the object of this thesis was to make an attempt at listing what we think remain

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
Salia, Issaka. "Léopold Sedar Senghor, poète et humaniste." Rennes 2, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986REN20004.
Full textThe first part is devoted to the negro-african features of Senghor's production and thought, linked as they are the ancestral milieu and rooted in tradition through the onomastic aspects, the cultural and political elements which serveas a backcloth to the writing process. The second part lays greater emphasis on black consciousness in Senghor's literary production. Senghor identifies unreservedly with that consciousness, whose most essential and positive virtues he sings with a view to voicing his humanism as well as his comprehensive vision of the negro-african world, which contrasts with his dichotomic and even antinomic vision of the european world. The third part is devoted to all the elements of Senghor's humanism that contribute to his conception of a universal civilisation: Senghor's poetics ; Senghor as literary critic ; negritude according to Senghor. These several points show the coherence and intrinsic logic of Senghor's thought. Indeed, senghor is not only a poet, but he is also a humanist, whose principles and anthropocentric preoccupations come out in his poetry as much as in his political speeches and his critical essays and studies. This third part outlines the evolution of the poet's thought as it expands from Senegal to humanity, from man to the universe, and it concludes with a tentative definition of senghor's humanism, such as i have tried to describe it, and which necessitates a sustained reading of the writer, both as thinker and politician. Senghor's production, which may be epitomized in the phrase "universal civilization", constitutes a robust entity, a monolithic whole, and sets forth a project which takes account of man's conditions and of the future of mankind caught in the convulsion of contemparary angst

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 textThis thesis concerns the causal relationship between the economic and monetary integration and the capital mobility. We check the hypothesis that the WAEMU would not have stimulated the capital mobility. The first chapter is committed to a study dealing with the multiple initiatives of integration in West Africa until the passing of the WAEMU treaty and with a synthesis of the literature wish is related to some economic and monetary unions all over the world and which shows that these unions have stimulated the capital mobility. The second chapter is a limiting study of the capital movements so as to just provide their historic and the doctrine that support them. Moreover, in this chapter, the analysis of the capital contribution to the developing countries reveals that it is the developed countries that also get the capitals and that only some developing countries (emerging countries) receive capitals. In the third chapter, the analysis of the tax incitement measures for the foreign investments by the countries in the WAEMU has revealed that the measures did not have the anticipated effects. So on top of the incitement measures for the foreign investments, which have proved themselves in Latin America and South-East Asia, the member countries of the WAEMU have to adopt incitement measures of the approach by the exchange rate market and of the macroeconomic approach. The fourth chapter is in line with an empirical study in which we must show if the WAEMU area is integrated or not. We have managed to show that the WAEMU area is divided in three groups: Ivory Coast that is integrated to the whole WAEMU and the global financial sphere; the group constituted by enegal, Niger and Benin is integrated to the whole WAEMU and less to the global financial sphere; and the group constituted by Burkina Faso, Mali and Togo is integrated to the global financial sphere and less to the whole WAEMU. We have showed that the WAEMU area has not stimulated the capital mobility, and moreover that it is not a sufficiently integrated area. This conclusion is a step in the direction of the hypothesis that the economic and monetary integration in West Africa would not stimulate the capital mobility

Full textThe researches deal with: - autobiographical narration of an oral text: the specificities of oral traditions and oral texts, - the role of orality in the development of a community: the professional speaker; the part of youth literature in Africa; morals and organization of Africa societies, problems of cultures interrelation in the memoirs. It is worth dealing with the questions evolved in the memoirs. These questions are: - Can a culture grow without contacts with other cultures? - Does interculturality mean a new social environment to be assimilated in terms of identity? - What are the roles of the colonial school, Muslim school, and the school of the tradition? - What could be the part of cultural contacts in the development of a community? Culture consists of ways of thinking, feeling, and behaviour of the different communities of which it is made of; it is the result of contacts and interrelationship between different groups of individuals. Therefore, any culture can be viewed as the mixture of different cultures. The exchanges that result give birth new ways of thinking, feeling, and behaviour. Lndeed, interculturality is the contacts of different cultures, and implies reciprocal respect of the cultures involved. It raises the question of how to live together with people from different cultures

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 textWe intend, through this study, to analyse the significant works of the colonial literature that has been produced in the French western Africa from 1900 to the brink of the Second World War. We propose to look into the interactions of literature and reality through the scrutiny of the mimesis by proceeding to the decoding of the fictive content of a production that has always presented itself as a mirror image of reality. Thus, our problematic being at the very heart of a literary debate which denounces the realistic mimetic as an imposture, we found it relevant to evaluate the weight of the referential universe in the process of writing fiction. At last, as it is about a literature that was generated by the colonialism, we also estimate its capacity to gain its autonomy before such a great influence
