Full textAppreciating the extent to which rumour as a phenomenon is embedded into the political processes of the Democratic Republic of the Congo as well as being pervasive in its wider society, is key to understanding, the country. Largely responsible for the emergence of the messianic type movements which appeared in colonial times, rumour is omnipresent in the press today. This has been particularly true since the 1991 National Sovereignty Conference. Beyond its everyday place in the social order, rumour is deeply rooted into the way in which the Congolese discuss and recount their stories, by yarning. Yarning, therefore not only underpins the poetry in rumour and drives local storytelling but has become essential in creative writing. Much of Congolese fiction draws on yarning, using it as a narrative of poetic literary device, giving rise to an “off the page” dimension. From this, a picture gradually builds up; surfacing initially with the messianisms then moving into the press and the “literature of the prophets” before finishing up at what is the heart of the matter in the Congolese “Rumour Novels”
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

Full textThe advent of specialization in Gabon due to the internationalization of the capital remains - far beyond the vicissitudes of history - the foundation of the sociological upheavals registered in this field. Nevertheless, the effects are so far slow to arouse the national integration, key-factor for the social progress for the emancipation of the national population. In fact, as a positively demographical phenomena, but a fundamentally sociological nature, the urban growth of Libreville remains at the same time the condensed and localized expression of the national development. Compendium of the fringes of society, the crises of decentralization and town and country planning that the urban growth socially but indirectly displays - considered from the point of view of the dynamic of specialization by the international division of work - are so many patents traces of these fringes. The only suitable therapy consists in the institution of a rational planification. However, the preliminary and compulsory condition is the advent of a really independent state, which is the judicial and thus legitimate emanation of the civil society

Full textThe means that society implements to interpret, combat and prevent disease involve social representations and practises beyond biologic disorders of the body. For this reason, the study of the social relationships structuring the therapeutic relation and of the social actors involved, in the suburbs of dakar, enables to more generally understand the urban phenomenon in africa. From a sociological analysis (on a theme and field usually studied by medical anthropologists and urban anthropologists), the purpose is to shift the objects of the research from disease to health and from city to urbanization, i. E. , on the one hand, to look for the social and political stakes in the different fields where health is concerned and, on the other hand, to change the urban problematic form a spatial frame - the city - to a social context - the social relations which make urbanization. In order to demonstrate the complexity and hete- rogeneity of the urban society, the methodological approach has been varied, combining quantitative and qualitative studies, dealing with urban quarters and social networks, going back to the village, ending to an intentionnally fragmented description of the city. At the conclusion of this work, a new phenome- non appears through which african social realities are better understood : health appears as a market (in the weberian meaning), i. E. A socialized space where goods and services are exchanged between agents who belong to different fields (political, religious and of course medical) with distinct logics (which explains the constant readjustments which has health as a stake). This health market characterized by struggles for power and unequalities in front of disease has been studied in order to better analyze this process of social change which we called urbanization and in which the city is only the dominant focus

Full textAfter delimiting the scope of the subject : french poetry today (fpt), the thesis describes what fpt is and its social structures. The choice of period (june 1940-june 1992) and geographic limits (metropolitant france are explained and justified. Public archives (ihtp, ina), and private ones (luc berimont), investigations, and interviews have been used for the research. Three groups are studied : authors, readers, publishers. According to a principle of "inclusion", this triplex set encloses literary groups of poets, often self-financed. This is obvious in communitas where classical publishing procedures are reversed. Being silent partners is the basic quality of readers. Texts forbid specular practices in this tripex set. These specific practises of fpt involve ruptures between poets and the national community, except during the second war. For, the aesthetic poetics is always an "unveiling of the world" from which it stems. When a social acter uses fpt to tell about the consensus or about power the creation becomes commonplace, a literary norm. Therefore poetics is a social stake. In fact, the poet's words also question power. But this question becomes visible thanks to the action of readers and publishers who put repetitive and stereotypic forms aside and who choose the risk of invention and culture

Full textDeep-rooted in "live metaphysics", the holiotic dimension of the negro-african universe, made of synergy and intelligence, convergence and membrality - that is to say of reciprocal interaction happens to be strongly shaken in an africa that more and more chooses occidental science and technics as a means to get out of the deadloks of underdevelopment. Nevertheless these science and technics are not "falling from the sky". They bear a history, tradition and culture. But they also drain their myths, beliefs and blindness. So true is it that adopting, adapting or transferring to africa what we will call techno-science do not go without raising new challenges. The future of man will not be technoscientific. The development of africa will be less a matter of competence and material means than that of ethics. Africa must invent and create for itself new paradigms of significance and new meanings out of the action of articulating rationalities and through the dynamics of contaries promised to improvement and to pluridimensionality. The fundamental project will have been to answer this question : "wich science for which africa"? a question culminating in this other one : "which ethics in an africa in quest of an authentic development"?

Full textAs a writer of initiation, Olympe Bhêhy-Quenum represents a reference whom we can no more do without in the African literature. But did we notice to which point, for this Beninese writer, to write about initiation also means to inquire about the mystery of initiation ? It is known that Olympe Bhêhy-Quenum has never gone further than the threshold of the mysteries of the traditional initiation, even though his mere curiosity and his closeness to genuine initiates have won him the recognition of "mystery adventurer". It is his interest in the mystery of initiation that enables the expression mysticism in the initiation account. Writing about initiation is guided by conventions and rules that surprisingly call to remind those of writing familiar to the traditions of Christian mysticism. However, Olympe Bhêhy-Quenum does not pretend to illustrate the Christian discourse. For, mysticism in his works does not always refer to the Christians God. It is rather a mysticism that we grasp in the initiation account through obscure and mysterious manifestations of the supernatural. Despite its pretention to be realistic, the fiction presents a split universe where permanently slips in something real but invisible and elusive yet hard to reject. This supernatural realism is carried by an expression belonging to the poetic of sacred. The mysticism does not exclusively refer to religious phenomena or to the initiation events, but to the manner in which the initiation account expresses or tries to express the phenomena and the events connected with religion or initiation. In this expression or effort of expression which brings out a whole set of procedures, echoes something that goes beyond the initiation event. That is why the scope of investigation of the initiation fiction, is of course the inner life of the initiated person in his complex relationships with the hidden forces of the world, but also all these problems that lead to discover the sacred as a necessary dimension of life and of all human activities

Full textThe production of novels is growing fastly today in black africa than ever. But this is mainly due to the fact that the ackward political regimes and the uneffective social institutions are degenerating into crisis, crisis that were to expect as nobody nowhere is able to stand evil all the time. It appears therefore that nowadays literary creation in africa depends above all on the feeling of disgust and disappointment. In all evidence, one would have expected a new way of life through the political self-reliance that all the africans longed for very eagerly during years of colonization of the continent by some western countries. Today, the people seem to be enslaved than before and the moralists are struggling for the establishment of a new social and economical policy more suitable to the moral, material and intellectual blowing of the black african people. The novelists tendency is to believe that the failure of our morality explains or justifies the failure of most of the development projects in our countries. Many of them believe that the future of our continent depends on the way moral problems are going to be solved. They try to call the attention of every true african on this reality. That no evolution is possible without a deep reshaping of our mentality. Africans have to fight corruption, nepotism. . . , all the evils that actually prevent our society to get to its real dimension. The stylistic devices that they use serve that purpose and in a very revolutionary way. The structures of the novels too. But unfortunately they are very few those who read those novels and this for many reasons. The african novelists should any way rely on the perspicacity of the cultural authorities as to obtain that their works be associated with other means of communication of thought such as television for example
Rauline, Véronique. "Bilinguisme et littérature : les nuyoricains." Paris 10, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA100014.
Full textThis thesis aims at presenting the work of the nuyoricain poet, Tato Laviera. It studies this poetic corpus, the culture it emerges from and their linguistic, literary and historical specifities. Central to the linguistic experience of the Puerto Rican community in New York, bilingualism proves a valuable guideline in this research and raises questions on the psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic aspects of bilingualism. The first chapter presents Tato Laviera's work. This presentation is organized around a spatial image: the locus of the poet is investigated both in its geographical dimension and from a more subjective and discursive perspective. The identification of the multifaceted locus of this poetry rests on linguistic analyses of the noun and pronoun (and their use in Laviera’s poems) as well as on sociolinguistic ones, related in particular to the history of the bilingualism of Puerto Ricans both in New York and Puerto rice. The second chapter discusses the theoretical background in bilingual studies as well as some tools used (or useful) for the description of poetic bilingualism. This notion calls for a sociolinguistic analysis and for a review of the use and scope of various concepts, including bilingualism itself, but also diglossia, continuum, in-between. . . It also leads to a survey of a bilingual literary tradition, from the aube de Fleury (9th century) to Rilke, Beckett or Paz, and to comment upon the concept of foregrounding. The third chapter analyses Tato Laviera’s poetic production into details. It is centered on the study of major figure of his bilingual poetics: repetition. Poetic bilingualism appears as a multi-functional phenomenon, culturally significant and linguistically, poetically and politically relevant

Full textThe Italian myth of America permeates all the classes of Italian society and fascinates intellectuals and peasants alike. This thesis deliberately focuses on the popular myth of America and not on the intellectual one. It studies that dream which motivated many peasants to emigrate all the way from southern Italy to America. That same dream grew in the minds of those people who did not make it and were left behind to feed on it. A variety of real experiences, impressions and dreams are reflected through different media such as literature, popular songs, cinema, America jazz and italo-american jargon. These constitute an image, which is often ambiguous and contradictory. Dominated by the undeniable reality of emigration and by the hope of the emigrant for a better world, the popular Italian image of America reveals itself real and idealized, concrete and fantastic, bitter and sweet. The study in depth of this particular myth and its cultural reality helps us also to understand the existence and possible effects of similar myths which are present in other countries and other cultures

Full text"Stress", "overwork", "asthenia", "nervous tension", etc. , these words that are nowadays growing in number in the medias are the signs of a major problem of our civilization, that psychiatry and psychopathology appoint in an alarming way: the contemporary man is the subject of a suffering, which comes into a general use as tiredness and depression. In the center of these pathologies appears the question of the time relation to oneself. Bombarded with the enterprise requirements of performance optimization, on which the rise and the development of technoscience and of its industry rely, the self is bustled about earning time. What do these pathologies of time mean, those wich increase with the development of modern western civilizations? What happens, in the order of such a world, of the work of all those who "loose their time": artists, thinkers, searchers…? In front of the tiredness to be the self, the question of therapeutic: the work of self on self, according to its tempo, whose ancient ontic model is the worry of the self. This work that psychoanalysis could have named perlaboration involves a temporality which is irreducible to the diachrony of acceleration. It reminds that the self is constitutively and originally opened to an unprogrammable alterity, which alterity could not be contained in the equation of a gain. Confronted to its own undetermination, the self is the place of one depressivity, which is at the same time, under the condition of an unconditional welcome of the other stranger inside, the ability by which the self constitutes itself, and one research is spread according to its unpredictability, its freedom and its lost time
Gellereau, Michèle. "La lettre audiovisuelle : nouvelle forme d'expression de l'acteur social dans l'espace public mediatise ?" Lille 3, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994LIL30032.
Full textThe letter as a genre has recently been renewed under the joint influences of modern technology and the mediatization of the public space : the letter's new form is audiovisual and it presents itself as an adequate means of communication for subjects expressing themselves as social actors. The audiovisual letter is a composite genre. As a process of communication, it is intersubjective and interactive, both physically distant and temporally deferred, which enables the subject to claim an individual as well as a social space. Made public by television, the audiovisual letter affirms its status as a new form of writing, allowing more exchange between the public and private spheres. In the case of amnesty international's campaigns, their use of the media to denounce torture and "suffering seen from a distance" makes people feel involved both emotionally and intellectually and reinforces social links between subjects. In schools, the collective practice of the "reseau video correspondance" uses the video letter as an approach to the forming of future social actors ready to take part in intercultural exchanges. By forging links between the institution of school, the world of the media and that of everyday life, video letters help individuals to develop a global perspective and to unite private and public worlds in a restricted community of interpretation. Though their capacity to transform social life is limited, video letters pose the question of the actual power held by the actor-subject in public space and institutions. Addressing individuals rather than an amorphous public, such letters acknowledge the possibility of individual action through or with the media, thus signalling new potential uses of television and the media
Godeau, Vincent. "La photographie africaine contemporaine : vers une photographie panafricaine." Thesis, Paris 4, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA040097.
Full textContemporary African photography is here photography practiced by Africans living in Africa. In our period (1989-2009), the acknowledgement of the absence of specificity of African photography takes the place of the photographic gaze brought by Westerners to Africa: “What is the real african photography?” is a question that characterizes this photography. In parallel, the portrait genre imposes itself, searching to end up outside of the consciences of an ambient afropsessimism, while documentary photographs show the Africa lived by Africans. Even more militant, citizen photography develops and is accompanied by a discursive hegemony. But the true photography engaged has been given by some of the Anglophone countries that therefore contribute to the collective march to recognition, France and the United States playing an essential role, since 1990, in this process. The interest in those two northern countries may also be explained by a diaspora of African photographers whose work feeds a number of manifestations that highlight a relative deficit of local photographers that practice “art photography”. In this fragile context, the nursery of South African photographers evolving in an economic market similar to that of the occident takes a counter-point to French speaking countries where French civil servants distribute state assistance of European origin. It is this South Africa, alongside other English speaking countries and Mozambique, that demonstrates the path of a clearly gestating African photography

Full textThis work on fantastic corpus lies within the scope of the sociology of art and culture. It deals with the comparison between the vampire's features (narration, social status, physical appearance, ways of protection and destruction) in the literature of the end of the 19th century and those of the 20th century. Tffls comparison shows that, during this period, the vampire has become more human. A sociological analysis of the evolution of the vampire's features makes it clear that literature and society evolve in the same direction actually a text from a given era becomes imbued with the state of mind and the major facts of this given era. I thus postulate that social matters can be found in the fantastic texts. The humanisation of the vampire with the concomitant identircation of the reader leads to two questions : does today society put up with the differences in a better way ? Has modern man become a monster ?

Based on historical facts, authors build characters thanks to whom communication with the found land becomes possible.

This research examines the timing and the details in which the myth emerged in literature as well as its evolution. Finally, we shall see how the myth persists in postcolonial literature

Full textThis comparative research on Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, is articulated around three main points: a terminological approach, a study of social, an asserting collective national and transnational values in Afro Latin music. The "Afro Latin" choice is based on ethno- geographical, historico-cultural and musical criteria. The musical pieces enable the study of social life in the various islands on both rural and urban levels. The lyrics describe social actors in terms of clivage and marginalisation. The musical religious link highlights a syncretism of Euro African traditions. Both music and society invite to penetrate the family circles in order to observe the function of females within the community. We demonstrate the existence of national idiosyncrasies, which is a recurrent theme in the discourse of immigrant communities in search of acknowledgement in the United States. This "Latin" brand highlights the existence of a socio identity mould overlapped in a marketing strategy

Full textIn focussing on the structures of the text, we have undertaken an internal reading approach to Flaubert's "Madame Bovary" and "L'Education sentimentale". For the writer, the composition of his text reflects the construction of a machine in which the mechanism of the machine forms the basis for the very condition of the realist text. While the spending side forms the positive motor of the narration, the debt forms the negative one, the end of the text corresponding to the end of the "instant de conservation du récit", the moment in which the narration is kept alive. Its textual energy is that of an entropy. Social reality is read as an ideological organisation, but at the same time, social reality comes to the surface only at the time of being perceived. It is thus inseparably linked to the subjectivity of perception. In this interaction between the "internal" and the "external", not only we can depict a process of an intimate social control, but also the esthetization of the social machinery
Weets, Tatiana. "L'oeuvre de John Wideman : une écriture de la clandestinité." Paris 3, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA030200.
Full textJohn edgar wideman is the author of multilayered, complex texts. His novels, stories, memoirs and critical essays are characterised by the fluidity of their language and style which reflect a broad array of influences ranging from t. S. Eliot to past and present african-american writers as well as the blues. A most prominent influence is the author's past. The result is the creation of a very specific voice where lyricism and realism coexist. It is the creation of this personal idiom which has enabled wideman to reappropriate the stories of his community and to tell them in a language that does not betray them. The complexities of wideman's writing reveal his interest in literary experimentation but more fundamentally the necessity of a search for a form that will allow these stories, often verging on the unspeakable, to be spoken. These texts which mostly deal with testimony, memory and inheritance and which are thus profoundly personal nevertheless retain a collective value. In drawing from the most intimate wideman reaches the universal. This study of wideman's works as the writing of the unspeakable is threefold and relies mostly on the technique of close reading. It deals first with wideman's narrative choices and their opposition to what could be termed a narrative norm. My study then turns to the way in which the unspeakable and its metaphors inform these texts and finally with the links between loss, or absence, and writing. Ultimately this study concludes that if wideman's texts are so resistant to analysis it is largely because they attempt at recovering all that has been forgotten, at naming the nameless

Full textThis thesis deals with the aesthetic issues that guide the process of performing a performative action. It will seek to analyze and compare means of resolution and cohabitation of the elements of visual arts discourse in relation to those of the dramatic arts and music. This concern, at the research center, must lead us to understand the aim of art as an indissociable element of individual and collective practices in African society. It is to stigmatize this reflection that our thesis is titled “Field and culture of performance in Africa: the comedy video performance”. To determine the field of performance in Africa and to respond to its culture is to seek to understand this art, this science in society, which is based on an analysis of the African's daily life and habits. Responding to the concerns of such a subject is to further address the sources of knowledge, conservation and enrichment of the language of contemporary African performative art. This aim practically nourishes the markers of a socio-cultural history that delivers the forms of knowledge of video performance comedy through the force of instinctive and poetic instincts. As we understand it, the systemic analysis of performative aesthetic issues in the re-configuration of the body is a support for creativity. So how could this analysis of creativity through performance in video comedy performance participate in the enrichment of contemporary artistic language?

Full textThis study is an analysis of representations of food in tales and picture books for children under six years old. Balanced diet, gargantuan meals, unverifiable devoration, or food discoveries, food is staged to define its diverse meanings. Even if food is either a source of pleasure or a risk for health in children books, they allow to show all the faces of food intake and its main sociocultural stakes. As media, the picture book is a social, symbolic and significant object which participates in a particular symbolic incorporation. Also, food representations with adults reveal the complexity of the omnivorous eater, particularly when it is about children. These are perceveid as an oger to be controlled or to be taught moderation, for their well being. There is reflexivity and selfcontrol in adults food practices which will act on their child representation in front of food

Full textStudying the relationship between arts, especially between literature and sociology it’s very commun nowadays. Sociology is a discipline that developped with the begining of the nineteenth century and reached it’s thoroughness in the twentieth century with the merge of social sciences. In my thesis, I want to stress out the dialogue between literature and sociology, without falling into a sociology of littérature or vice versa. I want to show how sociology inspired from literary works using them as a practical support for its theories on social life, but also how literary works Mirror by their containts the habits of and era, the social environment of writers at that time. In order to do that, I have chosen to base my analysis on some French literary works begining with the eighteenth century untill nowadays. From Montesquieu to Annie Eranux I would like to point out the more fertile interactions between literature and sociology, while analyzing the relations between social sciences and the literary field. My subject gets even more interesting nowadays, especially when universities are reviewing their course of study : literature’s situation as a discipline is at stake here, and also sociology’s, as sociology just like literature has the function of « telling» life

Full textIn the 1960s britain broke with its victorian traditions and adopted a new style of life. Despite the frivolous atmosphere of the period, many social transformations proved deep and lasting. It was british culture, as defined by eliot, trilling and williams, which was modified. The new morality brought fresh attitudes towards sexual behaviour, marriage, the family. Laws on divorce, homosexuality, bortion, censorship, reflect a desire for less unbending rules. Even the anglican church experienced internal revolt. Various aspects of the country's life and institutions underwent upheaval and change. Was this the sign of a nation seeking a new identity? many theorists have shown that literature and society are closely linked, that the novel can be used to illustrate social phenomena. Book ii, using the novels of nine authors of the 1960s who answered a questionnaire (angus wilson, iris murdoch, margaret drabble. . . ), investigates the social themes dealt with in book i. To avoid too general an overall approach, book iii offers a more detailed analysis of a limited field. By examining various features surrounding the production of the novel (role of authors, publishers, critics), we discover, here as well, a marked influence of the new cultural developments

Full textThe object of this research is the sociality of the poetry of the sub-field of restricted production at the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century in France, precisely that poetry published in six “minor” literary magazines circulating in Paris in 1900: L’Ermitage, le Mercure de France, La Plume, La Revue blanche, La Revue naturiste and La Vogue. It stands out the way the text establishes relations to the social discourse, and the relation of the poems to the mutations of the poetical genre and of the literary field of that time. In order to do this, we used notions from three approaches belonging to sociocriticism and literary sociology: Claude Duchet’s sociocriticism (for the concept of sociogram); Marc Angenot and Régine Robin‘s theory of social discourse (for the concept of social discourse and inflections of the notions of sociogram) and Alain Viala’s theory of prismatic effects (for the development of the concept of literary field and genre). We also used the neo-rhetoric contributions of the Group µ (for the notions of isotopy, isotopic mediation and triadic model). This study leads us to affirm that the poetry produced in the sub-field of restricted production at the very end of the nineteenth century reacted to the questions of that time interacting with society, despite the isolation it has frequently been associated to

Full textThis study is aiming at checking off all the cases of physical and mental taints in the greek literature of the first centuries, i. E. All forms of physical and mental handicaps affecting the intrinsic value of the human being. These forms mainly belong to two groups: on the one hand deformity and blindness, and on the other hand madness. From which a two-part inventory looking into nearly three centuries of literary history: epic, archaic poetry, tragedy of the vth century and ancient comedy. The theme is approached from a literary point of view rather than a historical one, by the study of the vocabulary selected by the authors, the dramatic-function of the taint in the scheme of works and the embodiment of the different forms of handicaps in great characters stemming from archaic mythology. That literary point of view is completed by the comparison between poetic fiction and the pathological reality of illness, by refering to the medical works of antiquity, mainly hippocratic treatises. Thus great recurrent subjects can be brought out: the loss of human dignity, affecting the core of human abilities such as standing and autonomous motion, the retrogression towards the monstrosity of the primitive period of the mankind through physical decay and the resurgence of beast in human being

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

Full text"temoignage sociologique dans l'oeuvre romanesque de lopes : mythe et realite" is the title of my thesis. It revolves round the presentation of lopes' novels. It is a descriptive study of africa such as seen by lopes. My study then centers on lopes' affective reactions to this social environment. I am then led to examine the value of the sociological testimony of lopes as a politician, a novelist and a moralist. At last, i'll discuss the problematic issue raised in lopes' novels : the condition of the independent black. Through this approach i was able to conclude that the independence in africa has failed and that the best remedy to it may be the decolonization of mentalities

Full textUntil now and probably because of the little attention given to them by our society, manners have not yet found their place either in education or in research. Nethertheless, important social issues are at stake behind their surface futility, for each individual as well as for society as a whole. From this observation, even though the present research implicitly raises behaviour in society to the rank of a science subject, its first aim is to find out what these stakes are and through which socioeducational strategies a social group perpetuates the manners that distinguish it and controls their evolutions. Therefore, relying on the analysis of the specific manners of the courtly society as they are shown in Chretien de Troyes's romances, the present research reveals that two complementary social processes are at work : the reproduction which ensures that manners are passed on to the individuals of the group and the supervision which ensures its conformity to social expectations. These two processes are at one in the social control of which they are the two dimensions. On this simple conceptual basis, we are concerned above all with the analysis of language manners and gestural manners whether they are female ones or male ones. To be more precise, we shall discover how these behaviours, which are marked with the social group's history, contribute to making men masculine and women feminine. Finally, by showing that manners work like social membership marks, this research brings to light both the necessity of their learning to ensure the inclusion of individuals in the group and its cohesion, but also the exclusion processes this learning insidiously exudes

Full textWhy is a complete social integration of handicapped people still an utopian idea? To answer this question, the author hypothesises an underlying anthropological status to infirmity that is as effective as it is powerful. "The character of the cripple as a representation of death" is central to a film that is like no other : "Freaks", directed in 1932 by Tod Browning, which uses actors with real disabilities. Brought from the Thirties into the context of today, analysed and compared to works of the same sort, using the tools of anthropology and psychoanalysis, this film - unique in its structure and content - continues to grind the grain brought to the "mythical-poetic" mills that have the task of answering the mysteries and enigmas thrown up by birth, death - and what which lies beneath and beyond -, sexuality and socialisation. The originality and power of its thesis lies in its daring to tackle these questions by staging real disabilities; and thereby opens a way towards understanding the position of the disabled person today

Full textThis study seeks to interrogate Cuban narrators in regards to their social reality. Here the literary text becomes a labyrinth to seek answers, a place in which a given social context is expressed. And the Cuban authors ? Those that reform the world, express their place in society as a result of their own Cuban experience. They may have been born, lived, or have written in Cuba. They may make claim to or dream of the Island in exile. Yet none of these circumstances define the identification to a nation. A. Carpentier, J. Lezama Lima, V. Piñera, S. Sarduy, R. Arenas, G. Cabrera Infante, L. Cabrera, J. Diaz, L. Padura, S. Paz, A. Estévez, P. -J. Gutiérrez, Z. Valdés, E. -L. Portela, and so many more. A wealth of authors not extensively studied. They seem to appear only when their prose offers a particular entryway to on a given topic: power, homosexuality, race, the condition of women, the aforementioned national identity. Because an analysis of Cuban society today is particularly focused on these very particular conditions, who exercise an important influence on one’s perception of contemporary Cuban reality. An analysis of this vision of the world and its interpretation within the works of Cuban narrators is central to our investigation. By studying these visions of the world one can begin to explain the different perceptions these authors have of their own humanity. It is, nonetheless, in society that the conflicts of being are manifested in concrete form. Becoming a part of their comprehensive description of the vision of the world, the social experiences that derive from homosexuality, nationality, feminism, race or power relations, we can then better explain the different interpretations that each author develops in regards to these conditions. What then might this set of interpretations of Cuban reality mean to the reader ? No doubt they offer some path in understanding one’s own interpretation of Cuban reality
Fofié, Jacques Raymond. "Individu et société dans le théâtre camerounais." Bordeaux 3, 1989. http://www.theses.fr/1989BOR30048.
Full textThree important social groups often antagonistic and distinguishable by their financial power appear in cameroonian theatre: the upper, the middle and the lower groups. This theatre shows a certain number of institutions characterized by their frequent recurrence in the plays: public administration, justice, law, education, marriage and politics. From the study of these social groups and institutions one discovers that the society is dualist, i. E. Both traditional and modern. Its target is a synthesis. In the face of such a society individuals react in various ways. Some like the houseboy, the natural child and the woman appear as resigned victims or victims fighting for a best social integration. Others turn their back to the society, admire the west, become social snobs or grave-diggers of their society. Some become positive or negative deviants. Therefore there is a conflict between the individual and society. Finally, the image of the society drawn from the plays is that of a society whose bases have been destroyed and that needs to be rebuilt. This will be done through redynamisation of values like love, generosity, true justice, democracy, freedom, solidarity. One notices that in its conception cameroonian theatre lays more emphasis on ethics than on aesthetics. For cameroonians it is a value. It tries to rebuild the society by all means. As a whole it is a message of humanism

Full textThe subject of this study lies in the analysis of the mediations by language, by concepts and by the human body, which make the sports reality. Its issue consists in setting up the social genesis of symbolical and material structures that make up a world. The first topic of this work is to show the contribution of sports literature and of theorical speeches, towards the constitution of sports mind. Indeed, the way some writers described sports experience, has contributed towards legitimate the passion and practice of sport. This way of analysis leads to question psychological and political aspects of speeches on sport, and sociological theories that define sport. The second topic of this study lies in demonstrating the stimulating strength of sport. Our analysis leads us back to archaic forms of human societies, in order to explain the specific phenomenom of sports rallies. It shows the relevance and the necessity of mass society science. People can talk much on sport, they can move on it and they can religiously rally to it. However, this work shows how bodies are under influence of sport
