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

Francophone Literature from Sub-Saharan Africa is an important indicator of the extent of the awakening by African people to their realities that link them to the past and the present. Novels of prominence written from the sixties to the nineties demonstrate how well their authors appreciate the characteristics of their societies. In this respect, some African writers such as Mongo Beti, Regina Yaou and Emmanuel Dongala in their respective works The Suns of Independence by Ahmadou Kourouma, Perpétua and the Habit of Unhappiness by Mongo Beti, and Johnny Mad Dog by Emmanuel Dongala offer very different characters, but with the same basic function of showing the African readers how poorly women have been treated in the past and today, and that without improving women's plight couldn't fulfill its role of protection, or nurturing towards its members. I will talk first about the submissive woman. Second, I will focus on the willingness of woman. Third, women in African society and then I will focus on Perpetua and the female characters in Perpetua and the Habit of Unhappiness by Mongo Beti. At the end of my study, I would lay the emphasis on the character of Laokole in Johnny Mad Dog.

Full textWhat is "author's fiction"? By this theme we designate a set of literary texts that focuses on the making of a character writer and the reception of the fictional book. This phenomenon was born in French literature following two consecutive publications on the death of the author. These acts of death of the author have thus generated the author's production parade in the French novel to try to revive him. They introduced the principle of immanence leading to the erasure of the author in favor of writing. Thus, without trying to confront the different literary fields, this thesis constitutes a panorama of the identifying elements of a writer's character in the French-speaking novel and a means for the author to reveal to the readers the underpinnings of his writing profession. To capture the anchor of this fictional novelist in the French text, this study is based on literary sociology and literary poetics

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

Full textAs it induces a long-term study embracing both imperial literature and contemporary glossaries, the evocation of an encyclopaedic temptation aims to examine a heuristic continuum between colonial and postcolonial eras. It highlights the evolution of a specific scholarly discourse, characterized by an overarching position of classification as well as a predilection for the “cultural inventory” of the unknown. If encyclopaedism thus allows to nourish the epistemological analysis of "africanism" and to question the modalities of its “undisciplined” adaptations, we shall essentially consider it as a tool for the analysis of plastic and literary forms – especially as a point of entry to what Bernard Mouralis called “counter-literatures”. The attention paid to encyclopaedic temptations experienced by Paul Hazoumé, Georges Ngal and Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, but also by Théodore Monod, Alain Mabanckou or Hassan Musa, allows to re-read these works as the expression of a porosity between knowledge and creation. Combining the exercise of the scholarly quotation with a speculative impetus towards the future, the encyclopaedia sets the hypothesis of a flattening perspective allowing the free juxtaposition of heterogeneous elements. In a context of agonistic rivalry surrounding postcolonial knowledge, it offers a leveled and pacified encounter space, the painful setback of which is embodied by marginal and contested encyclopaedic figures. Staging a labile knowledge and a hypertrophied individual, encyclopaedism is indeed a phenomenon of our time and therefore offers a common ground for contemporary French and Francophone literatures

Full textOur study which is focused on the French literature is titled: Real Africa and Africa dreamt in contemporary Sub-Saharan novels. The example of: “Balbala" and "Aux Etats-Unis d'Afrique" written by Waberi (A.A.); "Le Baobab fou" and "La Pièce d'or" written by Ken Bugul. The importance of this research consists in observing the process of Africa's reconfiguration in the works mentioned above. It is not only about analyzing the real, dreamt, or ambivalent Africa, it is about observing textual methods for which the passage from a real Africa to a dreamt Africa is possible and, how this back and forth of a universe that is lead in a third space can be perceived as alternative Africa that the authors of these texts aspire. Furthermore, these texts become the diagnostic tools of the failings of the society and equally help to provide preemptive solutions on the operation of the continent. To conduct this study, we used a double methodology such as the textual poetic of Gerard Genette and the interpretative semiotic revisited by Louis Hebert. At the end of ours analyses we keep in mind that in these texts the authors express an alternative Africa. They present it as she is, and also the way they would like it to be. But such vision of the world isn't it a simple utopia which falls under the unattainable ?

Full textThe colonial novel has long been the "only approach" apprehending the settlement. Unfortunately, it produced a sexual imaginary about Africa excluding the speech of the colonized. Africa is a place of pleasure, a "sexual Eden", and all the natives have "lust stuck into the body". Curiously, this imagology does not influence African literary works. Rather, Africa and its literatures have been considered as real bashful spaces. For many reasons the African author chooses avoidance strategies. He uses a series of stylistic processes to veil it, to make it seen in the absence or silences. This scriptural reserve dominates francophone literary production in sub-Saharan Africa until the 1960s. During this decade, an iconoclastic generation arises, and breaks with this representation. A more transgressive type of writing appears. Henceforth, the African authors seem to refuse the “indirection”, the roundabouts, and the narrative ellipsis. They are part of what Michel Foucault calls parrhêsia, a speech of truth. Thus, this perspective focuses on the need to say things as they are. This allows the emergence of what we call the sexualiture, which means literature giving the sex an important place. The present study examines, on the one hand, the process of this emancipating written form, linked to feminism; it analyses, on the other hand, the links between a poetic modesty as guarantor of a restrained discourse about sex, and the insolence of an authentic line expressing a legitimate pursuit of freedom
Zhou, Yana. "Représentations des désidentifications et réélaborations identitaires dans la trilogie africaine de Léonora Miano." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019BOR30009.
Full textLéonora Miano is a "young" but fertile Franco-Cameroonian writer who is already appreciated and recognized by a large-scale public ; she can be considered as a representative among the writers of the postcolonial generation on the African continent. She has published a dozen novels, including two trilogies, one named as african and the other as "afropéenne", many essays and theatres. The African trilogy includes L’Intérieur de la nuit, Plon, 2005 ; Contours du jour qui vient, Plon, 2006 ; Les Aubes écarlates, Plon, 2009 and they are the main corpus of our thesis. The African trilogy is revealing of the socio-cultural questions related to colonization and entry into the postcolonial era, because it describes a panorama of identity questions focused specifically on a fictional Africa but evocative of many real African countries. But these upheavals are too often ignored by the Europeans and by the Africans themselves (at the same time, this distancing and this return to Africa make the work of the Franco-Cameroonian particular). The thesis attempts firstly to contextualize our approach to the trilogy, giving a general overview, especially essential for the Chinese public, on the question of identity, Miano’s course of life (who is still noteless in China), and thematic content of the African trilogy. In the second part, we work on all kinds of representations of African de-identification, around the main causing the crisis of identity: violence (physical violence or psychological violence); their operating systems are analyzed in detail and thematically based on the corpus. In the third part, we deal with the resistance of African protagonists or secondary characters, in front of their identity crises as well as the consequences and perspectives of their attempts to establish a new African identity in the postcolonial era. In all the parts, we take into account the peculiarity of the "mianesque" writing which is not realistic but suggests a parabolic sense, a black world mysterious and tormented, various et typified characters, striking and crucial stories, and making account of a frank and uncompromising vision of contemporary Africa

Full textThis research focuses on the identity that an author uniquely constructs and elaborates throughout his works. In doing so, the thesis reveals major discursive, argumentative and stylistic aspects of the literary works as well as of the image of their authors. Although their writing may be concerned with the future of their country, the artistic uniqueness of the work depends less on one’s African origins, and more on his connections to The World Republic of Letters as a member of the French literary field, taking into account the totality of literary and social discourses that constitute this field. This study wishes to examine the discursive Image (ethos) of two authors – Ousmane Sembène (Le docker noir 1956 et Les Bouts de bois de Dieu 1960) and Mongo Beti (Le Pauvre Christ de Bomba 1956 and Mission terminée 1957) – two of the most acclaimed “African writers” published before the time of the African Independence (1960’s)

Full textThe objective of this work is to present the identities of two traditional African societies: Agni and Bakongo. It is imperative to note that the initiation allegory and the initiation ritual practiced in traditional African society are the two methods of initiation used to analyze the respective identities of two characters: Prince Mélédouman in Jean-Marie Adiaffi's La Carte d'identité and King Mani Kongo in Mweze Ngangura's Pièces d'identités. Not only does this approach establish a study of these heroes, but also of their people.
Thus, the ancestral practices, and the cultural and religious values that Mélédouman discovers in his quest, are those that express his identity and that of his community. Additionally, the symbols that Mani Kongo wears bestow on him his identity and present his DNA. That is, it signals his belonging to his ethnic group. Moreover, the lived experiences of Prince Mélédouman and King Mani Kongo, in the course of their prospective initiation voyages, can be defined as an initiation allegory whereby the neophyte, Mélédouman, on one hand, goes to be reestablished in his rights and Mani Kongo, on the other hand, becomes convinced of the limits of his traditions. Likewise, the practice of the Comian illustrates a type of initiation ritual, which expresses a unique identifying value among the Agni people in the Ivory Coast.
This study aims to reconstruct and to revalorize the identity of two peoples. It is evident that the cultural symbols, values, and other ancestral practices are in the process of disappearing due, certainly, to the domination of Western values of which francophone African peoples are the victims. Finally, this particular identity, constructed through history, myths, practices, and belief, translates, as well as defines, the worldview of these two traditional francophone African societies.

Full textThe political speech of the dictator in the African and Spanish-American literary fields offers huge perspectives of study. Indeed, the politics being an environment of social exchange, to study the mechanisms of production of the political speech of the dictator and the constructions of its sense by his public is a domain which we had wished to explore. Our thesis aims at showing exactly, the mechanisms of production of the speech of the dictator and how the public develops the work of encoding and decoding of this speech. The purpose being to highlight the various data which contribute to the elaboration of this sense, and to see the participation of each of the characters agents in this work of collaboration. We approached this work under two angles which are also the ones by whom builds itself the sense of the political speech of the dictator in our works corpus. This thesis brings to light the construction, at first extra linguistic, of the mechanism of production and construction of the sense of the speech of the dictator in the literary fields chosen as basis as our study. And then, we put the linguistic elements which contribute to the construction of the sense. Our method of research forced to us to call on to three linguistic fields without which we would not have been able to bring to a successful conclusion this research.The pragmatics thus allowed us to make a study of elements bound to the context of broadcast of the speech which go in account into the process of encoding and decoding of the speech. We then resorted to the rhetoric which allowed us to see how the dictator built his strategy of speech and how he develops his argumentation. And to finish, the semiology helped us in the highlighting of the linguistic ways of construction of the sense

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

Full textLa reconfiguration de l’énonciation dégage les ressorts d’une écriture nouvelle marquée par une narration éclatée, une spatialité multiple et une innovation thématique. La transgression narrative s’intègre au rang des discours de la déconstruction caractéristique de la postmodernité et se donne à lire comme le reflet de l’être de l’entre-deux qu’est l’écrivain migrant comme d’ailleurs son protagoniste. L’espace dans lequel évolue ce dernier peut être interprété comme une transteritorialité dans laquelle se moule la création littéraire marquée du sceau de l’altérité et traduit la « transidentité » du personnage évoluant dans cet espace. La perspective thématique renforce cette idée de l’altérité mondiale structurant le récit africain contemporain. Elle s’engage dans la voie des mutations et des transgressions caractéristiques de la mise en relation de l’africanité et de la mondialisation comme lieu de l’écriture/lecture du roman contemporain.
Le mode d’écriture nous offre un cadre linguistique et stylistique dans lequel se joue l’altérité africanité-mondialisation. Le romancier de la nouvelle génération retravaille la langue française à l’aide des ingrédients des langues et des cultures dans lesquelles il baigne. Cette manipulation linguistico-stylistique est rendue possible par le jeu interlinguistique et le registre humoristico-ironique qui produisent une esthétique du « risible » face aux défis de l’altérité. L’écrivain africain contemporain, décomplexé par ces manipulations linguistique et stylistique, exploite les ressources de l’oralité en vue de concilier la pluralité des formes d’expression et des pratiques langagières de son environnement. Cette stratégie d’écriture produit une esthétique de l’oraliture, celle-là même qui, tout en exaltant les vertus de l’écriture, recourt aux différents procédés offerts par l’oralité, versant de l’africanité du texte contemporain, pour marquer une opposition contre l’écriture et l’Occident qui l’incarne./The African novel by the new generation is made at the meeting point of languages and cultures. In its theoretical and paratextual orientation, the fiction discourse by the new generation can be summed up as a « universality-oriented modernity », a place of dialectic link between africanity and globalization. The ideological context of creation of this literature and the identity questioning bring us to consider africanity as a dynamic notion and the literary globalization as a way to competition and literary legitimacy.
The peritextual discourse, which is a high place of readability/visibility, initiates the strategies of this otherness which the novelist develops largely in textual enunciation.
Reshaping the enunciation shows the motivation of a new writing characterized by a breaking up narration, a multiple area coverage and a thematic innovation. Narrative transgression is integrated in the rank of discourses of deconstruction characterizing postmodernity. It is to be read as a reflection of the being in the space between, this is the migrant writer as well as his protagonist. The space in which the latter evolves can be interpreted as a transterritoriarity in which is moulded literary creation sealed by otherness and shows « transidentity » of the character evolving in that space. The thematic perspective reinforces this idea of global otherness structuring the African contemporary narration. It moves into mutations and transgressions characterizing the relationship between africanity and globalization as a place of writing/reading of contemporary novel.
The writing mode gives us a linguistic and stylistic framework in which takes place the otherness africanity-globalization. The new generation novelist works on the French language he uses by means of ingredients of languages and cultures surrounding him. This linguistic and stylistic manipulation is made possible by an interlinguistic game and the humoristic and ironic register which produce aesthetics of the “funny” in front of otherness challenges. The contemporary African writer, encouraged by these linguistic and stylistic manipulations, exploits the oral ressources in order to reconcile the plurality of forms of expression and of language practices of his environment. This writing strategy produces aesthetics of orality, the one which, in addition to exalting the virtues of writing, has recourse to different procedures of orality, showing thus africanity of contemporary text, to mark an opposition against writing and the Western world which embodies it.

Full textFrom independence to today, Africa, for the most part, is struggling to overcome thedifficulties it faces. Previously, the struggle for freedom was waged at the same time onseveral levels. One of the most important was undoubtedly the intellectual struggle waged bythe founding writers of negritude. However, since the departure of the settlers, the situationhas been disastrous. Even as Africans finally rule Africa’s destiny, the continent’s sociopolitical situation is dramatically deteriorating due to poor governance. This is how fictionalworks developing polemical and pamphleteer strategies appeared. While criticizing politicaland customary authorities, these accounts seek to thwart censorship. The objective of thiswork will be to analyze the polemic and pamphleteer aspect of some of these texts producednot to glorify the continent and the black woman as do the authors of negritude, but above allto denounce the defects of Africa and raise awareness. (Mongo Béti, Perpétue et l’habitudedu malheur ; Fatoumata Kéita, Sous fer ; Ahmadou Kourouma, En attendant le vote des bêtessauvages). They invite introspection and change in an henceforth disillusioned Africa. It istherefore also a question of exposing the role of construction of society, of man and ofhumanity that literature assigns itself

Their long-lasting fight for emancipation happens to be about challenging and subverting traditional, patriarchal, and religious institutions. This research that focuses on female main characters analyzes the process of their emancipation as a journey. Through this study, we aim at deconstructing western feminist ideology and its stereotyping of African women. In doing so, we contribute to an understanding of African women identity(ies). Women in West and North Africa, just like westerners, often face misogyny and discrimination. Socio-cultural beliefs, religious, political, and historical standpoints are proven to be factors that contribute to undermining women?s self-fulfillment. Also, they are factors set to create discrepancies between African and Western feminisms as well as between African types of feminisms. Therefore, these factors should be taken into consideration when conceptualizing and analyzing African women. Although this can be true for most African women, authors construe and characterize their female characters as heroines. They discharge themselves of ?masculine domination.? This work first examines the representation of African women social status and interaction in francophone literary and cinematographic works. Next, based on critics like Pierre Bourdieu?s concepts of habitus and symbolic violence, the second chapter analyzes African women?s social behavior in reaction to oppression. Though violence is experienced through habitus, women who escape can free themselves through an undertaken journey. In this way, the third chapter examines women?s use of different strategies to resist oppression. Consequently, women need to overcome various challenges that they encounter. Overall, we ground our research on theories such as post-colonialism, deconstruction, feminisms, negofeminism, and the concept of ?everyday resistance? or cultural resistance. Also, we examine the authors? standpoints and purposes through their representation of heroines. African women are no more where/who they used to be. Nevertheless, because of deep-rooted and obsolete African cultural beliefs, they still have to fight hard for a more advanced emancipation. Unperceived violence can be more damaging for women who face challenges. Key fundamental aspects are the persistence in raising awareness and revisiting African traditions, values, and practices; encouraging women?s political and religious education; and fostering their economic enterprises for financial self-reliance. Most importantly, women?s self-awareness with regard to their ?reproduction of symbolic violence? is the key factor for this battle ground.
