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 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 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 textWe can identify a long autobiographical practice in Africa, if we go back to the Confessions of St. Augustine, and selfwriting has moreover developed in African languages, in pre-colonial and colonial times. At the initiative of anthropologists and Africanists, the first African autobiographies (often written by teachers or students) were collected, while autobiographical writing simultaneously emerged in the French African novel. With the anti-colonial struggle, memoirs were written by leading African politicians, which emphasized the reflexive dimension of African selfwritings. In the postcolonial era, autobiography tends to become more intellectual, oscillating between autobiographical and self-analytic projects. Through a predominantly french-and english speaking corpus, consisting of authors as diverse as Wole Soyinka, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Joseph Emmanuel Nana Appiah, William E. B. Du Bois, Léopold-Sédar Senghor, Lamine Gueye, Amadou Hampâté Bâ, Valentin Yves Mudimbe, Achille Mbembe, Célestin Monga, Barack Obama, Paulin Hountondji or Rasna Warah, our dissertation traces back the mutations of African selfwriting, from the colonial times to the post-colonial era, emphasizing the dialogues established between African authors and French Africanist thinkers, for whom autobiography was much more than a life story. In these literary historical and sociological perspectives, we borrow from Jerome Meizoz his notion of “posture” to study the esthetical, political and literary positions, of various writers and thinkers in African and Western literary fields. We also highlight how self-reflexivity occurs by confronting African self writings to some intellectual autobiographies produced by African-American thinkers and writers. This comparison allows a reflection on the "postcolonial posture" of our authors, and leads to a new problem : the post-racial project that runs through the racialist interpretations of history and identity that characterized many African ideologies such as Pan-Africanism and negritude. Ultimately relying on the idea of "postblackness" now in vogue in the United States, we strive to show that the postracial remains nevertheless a horizon more than a reality of African writings itself, the mid-twentieth century to the twenty-first century

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 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 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 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 textWhen the African countries were granted their independence in the sixties, the people of Africa had such dreams that they were indeed at the dawn of something new, since they had lived through such oppression, under the rule of those who had colonized them. The opposite, however, took place, because these new leaders who were put into place, saw themselves as monarchs with divine rights and distinguished themselves by all kinds of abuses, which sank these countries and their inhabitants into extreme suffering and tremendous decline never before experienced in history. Today, forty years after this compromised sovereignty, the people wonder about their future and continue their bitter fight against these ominous military regimes with the hopes of regaining their stolen freedom. In the realm of art, the romantic view of Sony Labou Tansi, beyond the globally somber report of actual conditions, is as well a testimony of a surge toward a new temporality, where hope is depicted on the horizon. This writing, then, describes a violence which obeys the argument between tyranny and emancipation; that is, a crossing of paths from which a happy society is born, with its sudden change of mentality. This new society, which is a foundational model, is a model on which one must build

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

Full textThat an irreducible problem is the origin of the poetic work of L. S. Senghor and conditions its development is the assumption of this thesis. This irreducibility stands between the presence's link to the world, that structures the negro-african art, and the european mimetic art structured by representation. Senghor's poetry enters into a deep contradiction, that determines its structure. We shall, first of all, demonstrate how the central question of presence goes through his philosophical, aesthetic, poetic writings and enables to define a poetics of presence. Then, we shall understand how the problem of representation is bypassed, rather than resolved, throughout processes of essentialisation showing the creative movement of words (poetry of absence, distortion of the spatiotemporal structures, expression of genericity, system of the analogical image. . . . )

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 textR. De Kremer's litecherary output was in two languages : French and Dutch, and under two names : Jean Ray and John Flanders. This ontological duality is emphasized by a dual situation of periphery : the way, as a bilingual Belgian, he looks at the neighbouring centers : Paris and Amsterdam. So much so that with that distinctly national output, it is possible to section a century of Belgian literatures according to their receptions and codifications. Around the paratopy of Ray / Flanders and from the Belgian sending system, there is an opening on the main receiving systems. Reception lays the foundations for a national and generic imprisonment. From there, R. De Kremer's approach in his works is not only to consider literature as an institution, but the institution in literature, and not only to see his works as second-rate literature, according to popular and exarcerbated aspect, but to see the dynamic movement of writing beneath literature
Ngodjo, Ngodjo Elian Sedrik. "Pour une sociopoétique de la nouvelle subsaharienne francophone." Thesis, Limoges, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020LIMO0018.
Full textLong confined to the margins of literary history, the short-story genre in French-speaking Africa has often lacked visibility among critics. Between a long-standing latent disinterest and nascent scientific research today, the short-story has for too long been absent in the African literary field. However, this peripheral posture seems inaccurate and incongruous nowadays, when one revisits its historical trajectory, and especially when we consider the interest that some writers take in it. Having achieved its autonomy as a genre, the short-story can no longer be considered a « premature novel », an « illegitimate genre » etc. This obsolete and old-fashioned vision is here reassessed, and allows, somehow, to direct the critical gaze (on its forms, its favorite themes ...), towards a more objective conception, built from the latest developments of the genre. Like the other narrative forms, and perhaps even more elaborately, the short story, in the French-speaking world, addresses the authors’ social experiences, summarizes their vision of the world and shows the process of its evolution in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is the overwhelming evidence of the observed and experienced reality of the short-story writer in a given time period in the history of his society. The short-story genre takes on the task of bringing to light, with a touch of realism, the worries and phenomena behind the dislocations and transformations of African societies. Based on new social representations taking place in Africa, it bears witness to a transformed Africa, stubbornly oriented towards fundamentally modern structures. For this reason, this genre tends to claim a new perspective, based on a debate devoid of any bias which has impacted it so far

Full textOur subject of reflection consisted in thinking of what makes link between the French-speaking literature of subsaharian Africa and the Antilles, in addition to the history. We dealt with the writing strategies deployed by the authors, to stand out, to reveal their existence. On the basis of the French word “marronnage”, taking its name from Spanish “Cimarron” used to qualify this historical phenomenon related to slavery, we started to think about its literary transposition. The literary mythologizing of the Maroon by authors such as Eugène Dayot, Louis-Timagène Houat, and more recently Glissant, has enabled to develop aesthetics of the survival, to value the identity of the Marron, herald of the Antillean people, in the resistance to slavery. The main part of our work was about the extension of this theme of the marronnage to the colonial and postcolonial periods, by setting as postulate the hypothesis of the existence of a form of intellectual marronnage as foundation of negro-African aesthetics, established by the forerunners of the Negritude, Senghor and Césaire, whose most original but often unknown work was the conquest of a language of the negritude. The French-speaking contemporary writers of subsaharian Africa, for instance Alain Mabanckou and Fatou Diome, in a context of an internationalist dynamics and a literary space conditioned by the diktats of an eurocentrist criticism, applied a form of ( trans ) esthetic marronnage, but also with a doubled “linguistic surconscience”, by developing strategies intended for subversively setting at the heart of the language the print of a claimed abnormality, as only means to make their identity known

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

Full textThis thesis question the notion of family in connection with mass Killing : the genocide of the Tutsi of Rwanda. It was developed on two main axes. A point of history presented the socio-historical determinants which favorised the extermination of the Rwandan Tutsi. Then a literary analysis established a correlation between the idea of family and this extreme violence, through a corpus of French-speaking writers and survivors of this event. What opened up the study of the Tutsi génocide from the only historic point of view to make a literary subject. In this research work, our subject insisted on the situation of the families which resisted and on those who were decimated in front of ambient genocide. And informed about a tragedy which weakened the links of filiation within the members of the same household and broke the relationship, the brotherhood between nearby families. This study also presented the possible configurations of the family institution after the genocide. It showed that with the massacres which deconstructed the household the survivors to begin an impact strength, recompose of new sibships, new families

Full textThe searches on Sony Labou Tansi’s works and the publications of his manuscripts testify of the wealth of his texts. A piece of it remains however unknown : the first steps of the writer. The access to its manuscripts and typescripts partially kept at the Francophone Library of Limoges – others are available for consultation in the Institute of Modern Texts and Manuscripts – open the way to renewed analyses. Written between 1967 and 1975, these texts, for the great majority unpublished in his lifetime, paint the portrait of a Congolese writer in training, dashing into the adventure of the writing. This one consists then in building his author’s identity, in making a universe and in professionalizing his writing intended to invest the French edition. In a first part, this work demonstrates that by drafting his texts, Sony Labou Tansi forges his auctorial identity. He conceives himself under the features of a bomb, the manuscripts becoming bold laboratories. Becoming a writer includes an institutional dimension, in which is interested our second part. Despite the anarchistic imagination of the bomb, the creative writing is considered as a job : it is thus necessary to accept its codes and to develop a strategy of emergence to be published. Our third part analyzes the metamorphoses of this universe under construction. The refusals of publishing houses as well as the tension between the fantasy of a creation conceived as a revolt and the desire to be recognized by the literary institution do not affect his will. The key word of these years of learning is to become and so Sony Labou Tansi reinvents its universe, which is the place of ceaseless transformations. His trajectory is doubly interesting : the battle of the creation and of the publication concerns every young writer, but seems more complex for a generation of African authors confronted with a changing editorial universe

Full textIn a study based on a sociolinguistic movement which considers the attitude of writing it in front of the second language, the question of interest is about the problem of the language of writing, its imaginary and the actual consequences on poetic textual. To be made, three kind of corpus are considered: literary texts of African French-speaking authors, the paratextes of these authors and finally individual readings on the chosen texts. In this view, we try to seize a breaking-down point between two generations, that of the tropicalization of the French language and that of the Varying. The way of to say is a detail for Africanizing the language of writing in the phase of Tropicalization; in the writing of the miscellaneous, it becomes variation in a dialogical plurality, we speak then about the Francophony in the broad sense. The description of the practices of writing in these two phases is underlain by a will to establish a sub-discipline that we call the sociolinguistics of heterolinguistic text. Indeed, the social factors which transport the literary text should be taken into account by the sociolinguistics, hence the sociolinguistics of the text. As for the hétérolinguisme, a concept of this sub-discipline for which we wish, it is the rustle of the languages and\or the variants in an unilingue writing of a bilingual. The ultimate question of this theory is to know which pedagogy we can extract from this sociolinguistics of the heterolingual text. The heterodidactisme will thus be a notion left in prospect

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

Full textPour ce faire, notre démarche s’articule en deux temps :(1) examiner les conditions de possibilité d’un champ littéraire afro-antillais à Paris (colonisation française et ses effets, configuration d’un champ littéraire pré-institutionnalisé, etc.) ;(2) analyser les processus de consolidation du champ, ainsi que les luttes internes qui opposent deux tendances émergentes représentées d’abord par Senghor et Césaire, ensuite par Beti et Glissant, dont les prises de position littéraires mettent en œuvre des « modèles empiriques » ;ceux-ci régulent et unifient leurs rapports au monde et à l’Afrique.
This study relates to afro-carribean literature in colonial period (1920-1960). We want to examine the strategies of agents like René Maran, Léopold Sédar Senghor, Aimé Césaire, Édouard Glissant and Mongo Beti ;and we want to understand how they invente literary and social identity.
Our approach is structured in two steps: we shall analyse (1) the conditions for an afro-carribean literary field to appear in Paris (french colonialism and its consequences, configuration of literay field.) ;(2) the consolidation of this field and the internal struggles between two tendances represented by Senghor and Césaire, by Glissant and Beti whose literary practice shows the “empirical model” that regularizes and consolidates their relation with the world and Africa.

Full textThis thesis proposes to analyse four Francophone novels from three different regions ofAmerica : La Lézarde by Édouard Glissant (1958; French Antilles), La nuit by Jacques Ferron (1965; Quebec), Prochain épisode by Hubert Aquin (1965; Quebec) and Mûr à crever by Frankétienne (1968; Haiti). Each of these novels brings about a shift in how novels are conceived in their respective literary traditions (Quebec, Haiti, French Antilles). A close reading of each work shows that the reading difficulties provoked are the result of a refusal to adhere to certain conventions, some of which are intrinsic to fictional narratives and others which determine all forms of linguistic communication. It can therefore be said that such narratives are “non-rational”. Following this close reading, the links between each text and its context are revealed. In Quebec, the novels of Aquin and Ferron, along with Nicole Brossard’s Désert mauve (1987), bear witness toa new type of literary engagement which favours illegibility. With Glissant, the fact that a literary text is not easily readable is meant to promote opacity which, in turn, aims at conceiving identity and history differently. With Frankétienne, the indeterminacy brought about by “non-rational enunciation” seeks a shift in the reader’s point of view.In each of the aforementioned works, enunciation carries a socio-aesthetic function whereby activism is carried not only by the story told, but also by the storytelling

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

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 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
