Ekoungoun, Jean-Francis. "Le manuscrit intégral des Soleils des indépendances d'Ahmadou Kourouma : essai d'analyse sociogénétique." Paris 3, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006PA030102.
Full textAbout which Suns do we speak ? Of a writing whose shifted style surely supported the device "French language of Africa" ? Or of a writing which could have been defined ontologically by its own rules of creation ? Did the prize of Frenchness discovered in Montreal in 1968 then legitimated in Paris deliver all its secrets of publication ? Was it necessary to return to the framework of the Suns ? The sociogenetic study of the first draft of Ahmadou Kourouma endeavours to know these singular problems. This reconstitution of the dynamic kouroumaian writing investigates the birth and the consecration of a great french-speaking writer, by confronting the genesis of the text with that of the text before. The analysis shows that there was no possible comparison between the aesthetic requirements which ensured the main leading arrangements of this literary product and the documentary vocations of the production of the Suns. It also suggests that the horizon of the commonplaces based on the triptych, language, fiction and history, where the kouroumaian writing is evaluated, in general, is widened with the creative lawsuit via the files of the writer. Then, that the knowledge and the comprehension of the fundamental novel of Ahmadou Kourouma are less prone to the leading teleological aimings. Perhaps shall we then manage to get the integral publication of the manuscript of the Suns

Full textThis doctoral thesis aims to analyse the four novels Ahmadou Kourouma published during his lifetime. My work begins by examining the political content of the works. To this end, I look at the three most recent periods in the history of the Dark Continent: Africa during colonialism, Africa at the time of independence, and contemporary Africa and its tribal wars. I then proceed to a novelistic approach of the writer himself, based particularly in the cultural heritage that imbues African society. Finally, I analyse the role of African literary tradition as reflected in the novel form and the importance of language at the heart of this tradition. Secondary themes that I treat include questions of childhood, women and religion on this continent in social upheaval

Full textThe problem of political power id obsessing in African literature of French expression. Born from the colonial fact and in reaction against that system, literary production ceased forever, to express with regard to the powers a particularly acute sensitiveness. In Ahmadou Kourouma's novel, two categories of authority appear simultaneously : the traditional and the modern one. The traditional powers draw their ligitimacy from the "mythical contract", connecting the king to the founding ancestors. Because of this social contract, the chief exerts a quite relative authority where the despotism is quasi absent. Modern powers thus operate in a selective way in the African cultural substrate, retaining practices, speeches and knowledge considered to be, legitimate in other times, they bring them up to date. By using values, modern chiefs have a claim with the divinity. However, the bases of this ambition are called into question by the extreme violence characterizing their exercise of power. To characterize the "national disenchantment", the writer draws from the Malinke repertory the vitality of his speech. And for this reason his writing resembles the oratory aptitude of Mandingue chanters

Full textThe analysis on the scope of problems which particularize and specify the writing of the word in order to understand how the writer from Ivory Coast assumes his dual cultural and linguistic membership. Satire is articulated as an intrinsic method in the romantic pentalogy of Kourouma. Our analysis allowed us to do the studying of the discursive stategies which any satirical engagement raises. The satirical communication thus wanted to be triangular between the satirist, the target and the recipient. Analysing the satirist method also consisted in seizing how Kourouma used the oral text and the African tradition in order to have a caustic glance on politics, society and religion in Africa. The satire is masked and reinforced by the tale, epic, the song and the proverb which are the best oral kinds which the writer the possibility to have a literary thought according to his satirical imagination. By using the professionals of the oral communication in Africa, Kourouma off-sets the African literature to an auditory aspect that gives birth to a dramatic dimension suitable with the proximity of listening. The writing and the word satirists thus translate, in the quinary romantic one of the Kourouma's injunction to listen and read

Full textThe novels of Kourouma return to a general situation of the use of French in the French-speaking countries. Either as a colonial heritage or as a tool of the African elite and intelligentsia, the French language is a controversial issue. Kourouma as well of other Africans writers encounter a form of linguistic hibridity because they have on a side the mother tongue and other the French language. With through the writing of Kourouma, one discloses a rewriting of the oral tradition with a description of the features of orality (tale, proverbs, riddles, currencies…). The gaol of this work was especially to raise the ambiguity between orality and writing. In fact, orality is not the shape of scriptural inculture because it fixes in time, the cultural richness and all the thought afric from generation to generation by the means of the word and the training of the customs and habits as well as the writing. The transcription of this orality made foresee a style which mixes news linguistic elements (africanisms, neologisms, loans…) for the use of traditional French. Ultimately, starting from his artistic universe, the author posed the stakes of a hybrid writing by initiating the shapes of a new African novel

Full textThe socio-linguistic conditions of black africa are summarized together with the ideological positions connected with linguistic problems. This background is used with a view to defining the concrete problems posed in the use of french in the african novel. The corpus is composed of five works : une vie de boy by ferdinand oyono, les bouts de bois de dieu by sembene ousmane, les soleils des independances by ahmadou kourouma, le pleurer-rire by henri lopes and les sept solitudes de lorsa lopez by sony labou tansi. The aim of the study is to take account of the way the french language is treated in each novel. Analyses based on a structural linguistic approach demonstrate various ways in which african languages are present in the french text, underlining stylistic effects and particular narratological choices. Thematic studies also help to bring into relief the various representations of the languages in the diegesis. Finally, the argument is widened to include the psychological and institutionnal implications of writing in french, as the quest for identity and linguistic choices are often linked in modern literature

Full textKouroumian novel is not an exception to the aware of literature as exis. Early, it drew up, like a painting, the suffering inflicted on the african populations. Medium of connection between history and representation, it equitably calls history and fiction to attest our historicity through the correspondence with temporal experience. Kouroumian novel is understandable like a inventory duty because it is an opportunity of reviving a knowledge. Structured on three parts, this thesis firstly treats of text and context, particularly about comprehension and description of historic events. It secondly focuses on the passage from reality to fiction taking excessiveness into account in order to bring the pair history/fiction out. Perceived like an assimilation/familiarization process, at last, kouroumian novel is analyzed as a memory place

Full textFar from the oecumenical celebration and the negritudian idealization of pre-colonial africa on the one hand, and the worship of formal franch language made from writers of his generation on the other hand, kourouma elaborates a new and deliberately inconoclastic and novelistic aesthetics in his novels. Half-way between oral tradition and classical novel writing, kouroumian aesthetics is embeded in an enunciative problematic. If the ultimate goal of this study is the expression of high degree, our approch is double-sided : showing the influence of oral tradition on the novelist's writing through his excessive use of hyperbole in the narration ; showing, by the description of linguistic expressiveness mechanism, in general, how the essential concern of the quest for a discursive credibility is solved. Among other subjects, we deal here with the frame of kouroumian aesthetics, that is, the problem of linguistic interferences and peculiarities, the problem of synonyms, polysemy and lexical creation. Un other words, without pretending to be exhaustive, this linguistic and semantic study intends to answer the questions of expressive and affective syntax, of grammar and, above all, of psychological and socio-cultural conditions of enunciation

Thesis, Paris Est, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PEST0072.
Full textThis thesis tries to demonstrate how the work of Ahmadou Kourouma crosses both oral and traditional speech. A cultural vernacular substratum structures the work and moulds it, culminating in a poetical hybrid; a synthesis of two literary traditions (oral and written) and of two symbolic universes (the Malinké legacy and the western colonial influence). The question of identity forms the crux of our examination of Kourouma. This analysis highlights the importance given to the Malinké origins and contributes to the emergence of a “interiority”. writing style. This research concentrates on three main themes which reveal the density of cultural references in the novels of this author and the roles which they play in anchoring a strong cultural identity and a rich aesthetical style

Full textThe present study is concerned with the resurgence of the initiation process and of mythical figures at the heart of literary fictions during the second half of the twentieth century. Our analysis focuses on world-cultural confrontations in the French field (J. M. G. Le Clezio), and which we put in perspective through analysis of texts from Subsaharan Africa (Ahmadou Kourouma, Calixthe Beyala) as well as South Africa (André Brink, J. M. Coetzee). Our study examines the radiation of the initiation process, and mythical figures which underpin these fictions. We will consider the impact of each work on the world-cultural space in which it is rooted, while taking care to situate these works in an anthropological perspective

Full textAbstract : The purpose of this thesis is to study the role of myth in African literature in two novels by Sony Labou Tansi and one by Ahmadou Kourouma. Here, one suggests reading these texts by resorting to the postcolonial theory. There, the words of the men of old are analyzed, since they lead to a new writing based on orality. The literary works of certain African authors with enough proof of the presence of myth in such literature are then displayed, as well as the way the two writers introduce the myth with the purpose of criticizing dictatorial political powers in the continent of Africa. It is a comparative study of the works of Sony Labou Tansi and Ahmadou Kourouma, which are marked by the same purpose of writing, which tends to establish the paradox of failure of political leaders in postcolonial Africa. There is therefore a new reading of the works of Sony Labou Tansi and Ahmadou Kourouma where written and oral works have merged to produce new myths

Full textThe present thesis entitled: Ivorian writers and french language: fortunes and misfortunes of a marriage against nature. An example of Dadié, Kourouma and Adiaffi's romance work, it takes a formal study and some detailed stylistic procedures put to work by the three principle writers of Côte d'Ivoire ( Dadie, Kourouma, and Adiaffi) to try and overcome the major obstacles that constitutes, obviously, french language in free expression of their tradition and of their cultural personalities. Also, it clearly looks like these writers have cunningly used in their romantic speech some terms, some constructions and particular forms of expression directly extracted from languages of their motherland by the help of a diversity of gathering and putting together into interlinguistics. Having in that one reference the imaginary african, they have in general foreseen obstacles, succeeded in showing that in the centre of a large language of international communication like french, it is possible to find a place for a plural expression, and, by the same way, for exchange between different languages and cultures

Full textThe poetics, this discipline which divides up-to-date the specialists, relates to a study of all elements, intra-mural or extra-mural, capable of arousing a contemplation of a generic support as a work of art. Taking into consideration the framework of the objectives set by our approach of successive novels published after the Negro-African independences of 1960, the literarity would result from a binary system of images. On one hand the diurnal kind, antithetic, heroic and controversial, encourages a postcolonial writing (writing-back), by regaining a mythological discourse in which the body – promoted as the literary mediator by excellence – ends up influencing the process of the nurturing of sense of/in the post-independent novel (and/or post-independence). As for the other system, termed nocturnal and mystical, it is based on the enrichment of an imaginary of the feminine which ends up giving way to a prolific readers’ dynamics, as long as we agree to the pertinence of the thesis which postulates that to write a novel, is to meet a Woman. In this second understanding, the sense of the work of art can only come about through a brilliant appearance of the original, of the inadmissible, the unusual, if not of a scandal. If we admit that the imaginary of the feminine compensates the bellow par output of the Negro artistic creation – as observed over the past years –, we also have to acknowledge the literarity of the independence novel arises from the symbolic death of the body, this body which is henceforth perceived as the future dictator of meaning. From the moment when the death of the body seems to be ratified, the poeticity of the Negro-African novel – in this case the texts of Ahmadou KOUROUMA as well as those of Sony LABOU TANSI – reconstructs itself without end, escapes any kind of determinism and any servile engagement, and offers itself to be read sometimes like all the aesthetic exploits accomplished by the texts studied and resembles the poetical lyricism, and at times like the passionate quest of the sensations, but most above all, like the misappropriation of a remarkable work of art from the authority of its official author (owner)

Full textAt the crossroads of the sociology of culture and postcolonial studies, this dissertation explores the mechanisms by which contemporary writers from Francophone countries of sub-Saharan Africa attain literary recognition. The empirical material comprises archives, interviews with writers, publishers, and cultural agents; ethnographic observations of cultural events; and a statistical survey of 404 writers who were socialized in this part of the world, and who were active between 1983 and 2008. Their legitimation follows two waves: the first occurs in the early eighties and the second in the mid-nineties. The increase in the number of publications, the importance of the novel in the hierarchy of literary genres, and the evolution of the publishing industry combine to structure an African literary space. Its stake is the legitimate definition of the African writer, related to the nature of the writer’s relationship to Africa. The authors located in this space are socially elite and often mobile. From the eighties onwards, the number of new female writers has increased steadily; writers are more professionalized and more often settled outside Africa. Publishers in Paris have played a decisive role in a book market partly dissociated from the markets prevailing in African countries. The analysis of these global evolutions is complemented by case studies: the controversy surrounding the manifesto “Toward a World Literature in French” seen as a collective mobilization; the representation of colonization in the texts of Amadou Hampâté Bâ and Ahmadou Kourouma; and letters from readers

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
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
