Laghzaoui, Ghizlaine Asmaâ. "L'initiation dans la littérature africaine : savoir, représentation, écriture." Lille 3, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992LIL30014.
Full textThe initiation theme is modified when it iq taken in charge by the writing. We certainly can recognize the initiatory scenario in its whole in the narration. Nevertheless, it seems that the writing vocation is at variance with the initiation one. In fact the ritual order of the transition between the childhood to the adult age is modified : the inversion wich affects it, leads to an unconfessed request of the childhood and the lost heaven. That is why the writing tries to rehabilitate in a hidden way a female face repressed for too long time. The myth request and the oral speech are only a meaning to refind the request of the mother. Therefore, more than a rebirth, it is basically an "inside birth" that the initiation claims throught the african literature
Sow, Alioune. "L'écriture de l'enfance en littérature africaine." Paris 4, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2002PA040230.
Full textThis dissertation, devoted to the analysis of the theme of childhood in Francophone and Anglophone African literature, aims to study the motivations and articulations of childhood narratives as well as identify its main literary categories. After a first chapter that describes the specificity of African childhood from an anthropological perspective, the second chapter focuses on the literary representations of childhood and the motivations associated with its writing in order to show that the theme is crucially implicated in the notions of temoignage, black consciousness and protest. The third chapter proposes a classification of childhood narratives and analyses the childhood world through the examination of the space, the time and the characters who participate in the formation. The fourth chapter inaugurates the analysis of representative works and defines the first of our proposed childhood categories, 'the accomplished formation'. By focusing on such concepts as mediation strategies and political and cultural synthesis, we emphasise the heroic vocation of childhood and its implication in the formation of the nation. Chapter five is devoted to our second category 'the hybrid childhood'. The ambiguity of the formation and the problematic passage between races, rites and codes are analysed through narratives constructed around the biracial childhood, the esoteric and marginal experiences. The last chapter explores the 'fragmented childhood' where the notion of personal mistake, the dismissal of the paternal figure and the problematisation of the childhood vocation due to historical tensions are all elements that contradict the accomplishment of the formation
Bikéné, Békalé Béatrice. "Littérature gabonaise au féminin." Nancy 2, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005NAN21017.
Full textThis thesis gives voice to gabonese women's novels according to the new criticism approaches on french-speaking african women's literature. The critics are agree to recognize that women literary production bring a new breath to african literature, because the female writers don't restrict themselves by developing autobiographical stories, but they treat marginal questions and they're concerned about today's problems in their society. In regard to these considerations, we wanted to assess by questionong the novels, the extent of newness so often praise by the critics. For that reason, we relied on some elements liable to express this change. Gabonese novelists illustrate the new tendency of women's literature by their free speaking and by developing a new vision round about woman's body, her sexuality, her motherhood, her freedom aspiration, her filial and matrimonial connections. But at the same time, their writing follow the african way of writing. This one doesn't yet offer - in spite of recourse to oral art and other african forms of language - interesting perspectives, on expression viewpoint, who can lead to an african esthetic renewal

Full textIn the African novel written in French, death prervades the narrative fabric. What strikes the reader is the omnipresence of death, as feature in the titles. The recurrence of the motif of violent death is to be set in relation with authoritarian regimes in Africa. The evolution of African society has introduced a significant factor underlying the novel, which is the deritualisation of death as a consequence of the devitalisation of myths. Facing existential angst, the novel reappropriates the way of thinking about death extant among traditional African societies. It consists in bringing into play the permanent conflict between " impulsie imagination " and " rational imagination " one the one hand, and their complementarity on the other. The dynamic antagonism opposing rationality and impuse in the constructive phase of their duality enables the creation of myths which make life tolerable. Against this cultural background the novel builds utopias to postulate another dimension to the future

Full textThe first step of this study is to try an “essay of a theory for the present litérary writing in the french-speaking communities of Africa”. Secondarily, the purpsose was to give another definition, through “another reading”of the african french-speaking literary fact, the nature and the function of the dominated contries literatures. In a historicity perspective, it appeared that the african french –speaking literature, in its all, has been set-up since 1930 in an “autonomous” social word, which general copyrights are principally based on the cultural catégories, knows as the “oral” and “traditional” ones. On a pratical point of view, the oral way and the african oral tradition, far to invariably be the extension of the proclamation of a “negro soul”, are essentially the “ rule of the african literary game”. Subjects of stakes and places of tensions, the oral way and the oral tradition are used by writers of the african field, in their need of structural setting up: the pioneers (Césaire/Senghor) for the maintaining of their “dominant status”; the pretenders (Pacéré/Zadi) for their pretentiousness for the “classicism”. Strategically beneficial and symbolically rich of resources, the oral and the traditional items suffer from all kind of amplifications, of magnifications and extrapolations (speechs relating to the identity, manipulation of the roots and the purity, arguments of the sacred and secret ). In all case , the literary act in Africa or in the french-speaking communities, like the political or economical act is a “calculated act” that the rationality to be hold , needs a perfect knowledge of what has been agreed to call, following the Bourdieu's terminology a “symbolic field” and/or the “african literary field”

Full textThe african, till now treated by the european as an object of curiosity of ethnological and literary study, rises in turn as an observer and a critique of european society. Using a wide range of african narratives set in europe, real or imaginery, this study proposes to identify and examine the interaction and the causes of conflict and or affinities between the two societies. We will analyse the european as perceived by the african and the destiny that awaits the african in a predominantly european environment. On this perspective the corpus used reveals, on the one hand, the european framework, the climate and the habitat and, on the other, the cultural values representated by the flora and the fauna. Beyond this physical framework, the african writers unmask certain european customs and social practices and also some of the basic characteristics of their mental outlook. Some of these elements of the occidental culture are weighed upon positively and others negatively, the point of reference being african culture and society. This physical, material and moral environment has conditionned the adaptation or the lack of it, of african characters in european society. . . .

Full textSemiolinguistics is a plural approach of literary textes : to that effect, it convoks round semiotics ( the narrative rationality ) considered as central theory, other theories, especially the structural and pragmatic linguistic theories and poetic theories ( metric and tropic facts ). It application to an african poem, j'appartiens au grand jour de paul dakeyo has premeted : - the segmentation of the poem in eigtheen (18) sequences according to many criterions of different status : semiotic, linguistic, poetic, etc. . . - the bringing out the main isotopic structures of the poem from lexical fields; - the indexing of a recurrent euphoric narrative path, a path observable in every micro-sequence. The values so definite by the lexical and narrative levels, determine with force the central object of the poem, the quest of an identity. The identity of the individual and collective subject merged in the axiological, mythological and ideological values. In fact, the poem requires more our universal being than our ethnic or racial one
Garnier, Xavier. "La magie dans le roman négro-africain d'expressions anglaise et française." Paris 4, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA040212.
Full textThis work is an analysis of the possible status of the magic in a novel by way of an observation of African novels. The first part, which deals with oral narratives (two tales and two epics), shows the strong link between magic and the enunciation context. Concerning the novel, the magic displays itself in three branches: religion, sorcery and witchcraft which are respectively linked to realism, fantastic and marvelous. The aim of this work is to connect the magic efficiency to the debate on truth of African traditional knowledge upon reality. Novels such as the ones of Tutuola and Sony Labou Tansi don't take consideration of this debate since they don't respect the spatio-temporal representations of our reality and adopt the witchcrafts position which unsettles the coordinates of reality to dive in the heart of the magic universe

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

Full textNature is represented in african french speaking novels through a traditionnal point of view. This latter has set the fondamental principles of it. Traditionnal african philosophie gives a religious sens to nature. It is a mythic perspective which conceives a unity between man and nature. Nature is the recipiendary of invisible and holy forces. It contains messages which are sent to man. African spirituality consists in the knowledge and the analysis of the signs that nature sends. That traditionnal point of view can be found in the novels of the following novellers: Djibi Thiam, Camara Laye, Nazi Boni, it is actualised through several manners by the other novels. The changes in the way of living and the historical evolution have introduced other relations between man and nature. The unity between them can hardly be lived. Thus, unity with nature is searched through diverse images and metaphores. However, by analysing these images and metaphores, one can see the persistancy of the traditionnal point of view, no matter how the problems that modernism creates are representation of nature through african speaking novels is therefore greatly influenced by the belief in the existence of a relation between man and nature

But for the writers of Migritude, emigration to Europe takes a different turn; it is no longer motivated by a desire for discovery but an escape from the native land which has become repulsive, while Europe is in the eyes of migrants, an attractive place embellished by the stories of immigrants who, have already made the journey. The present research seeks to reflect on the change that has taken place on the representation of immigration in Europe, from the writers of the first generation to those of the second generation

Full textThe zairean literary works in french language owe their origin to the combined efforts of five principal factors : the introduction of french in the educational system of the belgian congo, the establishment of public libraries in the colony, the creation of socio-cultural circles with literary competition for the educated natives, the admission of blacks to press writings and finally, the alteration of the colonial literary works by the replacement of their approach to african realities. During the colonial period, the congolese narrative literature was marked by the works of paul lomami-tshibamba, one of the rare belgian congo writers to describe the awful change of the traditional african societies in contact with western civilisation. The extensive work of the traditional novelist exploits the relationship, established by the african mythology, between the visible world and the supernatural forces. Particularly inspired by the myth founders, inspired by the myth fonders, the authors magnified the greatness of traditional african civilisation with an effort to put its values in the modern world. Presently, the remarkable stride in the production of zairean literary works points in two directions : the intellectual writers who question the coming of the west into africa and the realist writers that challenge and condemn the bad management of public affaires by post-independent african leaders. Having attained maturity and autonomy in the mastery of writing, the zairean literary works now look forward to a nationwide spread. Their future is remarkably tied to that of francophony in africa

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

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 textHow can we explain the obsession of the "supernatural" in the works of French-speaking African writers? The exploration of western awareness, backed up with texts dating from the Graeco-Latin antiquity to the modern period, discloses the underlying psychological bases of such an obsession. By insisting on the blacks "fetishism" and their spiritual void, the Europeans have created a sentiment of frustration; the natural result for the victims of yesterday has been an attitude of self-defense and the need to restore their tarnished image. Through the "sacred of the terroir", African writers reveal a world order focussed on the unifying power of the cosmos. On the other hand, the "revealed religions", as vehicles of cultural norms from abroad, have evacuated the sacred from the cosmos and have thus neutralized and robbed the latter of its originality. Therefore, the adoption of the sacred for Africans means: - the rehabilitation of the black man and of the African "terroir". - the nostalgia for the origins

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

Esoteric and Christian traditions are questioned in a modern society that will not recognize their utility. Finally, contrarily of their cotemporaries, Rwiri has remaind faithful to the traditional academic style

Full textThis research examines the conditions of possibilities within and the routes of entry of the African authors into the comic field of the French-speaking Europe. The dissertation employs a sociological approach by making, firstly, an institutional analysis of the conditions of production, circulation and reception, as well as the sociability in the local contexts, in particular in the French-speaking countries of sub-Saharan Africa. The examination of the modalities of publication in the edition or in the press, of the associations of authors, festivals and other promotional initiatives, and of the possibilities offered by associations and institutions, shows that local authors have to realize their artistic vocation and their professional projects in poorly organized and unfavourable environments. Of course, this state of things requires agents to exercise their greater or lesser skill in adapting to it and making it play to the advantage of their professional career, but it also prompts a number of authors to consider the publication in the European field as the goal towards which to focus their efforts and strategies. The general problem of entry is the angle of attack of the second part, which draws on Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of fields to analyse the trajectories of the few African comics authors who managed to achieve a certain legitimation in European environments, namely Congolese Barly Baruti and Pat Masioni and the Ivorian Marguerite Abouet, as well as some other significant paths. The notions of habitus, strategy, periphery, autonomy and heteronomy, but also antinomy have helped to illuminate these paths. The theory of fields, which emphasizes the social conditions relating to the creation, circulation and consumption of symbolic goods and the institutions involved in the "mise en act" of the artistic-cultural object, in order to understand the position in the society of reference, was instrumental in understanding the importance of several factors: the impact of associations and of the international institutions; autonomy as a second step or eventually as a decisive phase, determining the entrance from the beginning; the “instances of legitimation”

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

Full textThe importance of collective consciousness in African societies has often been considered as an obstacle to autobiographical writing, yet autobiographical works appeared with the beginnings of literature in French language in black Africa ; where to this day it still occupies an important place. Its production has continued to grow in various and hybrid forms : factual, fictionnal stories, which simulate these narrative forms and autofictionnal stories. This study is divided into four sections. First an historical and sociological approach : the framing of the genre in historical context, the relationship between the individual and society ; then an analysis of the themes treated : authenticity, alienation, identity and otherness ; third a reflection on forms and literary models ; finally a poetical analysis and a reflection on the question of the subject and the relationship between an author and his wrtiting practice

Full textThe object of our dissertation has been a study of some african novels in the light of european existential philosophy. Our point of departure was that de six novels in question - l'aventure ambigue, la plaie, chaine, l'ecart, un piege sans fin, and le regard du roi - apprehend human reality in africa from an essentially metaphysical or existen- tial view point. To this effect, they lend themselves to a fruitful philosophical analysis capable of shedding new light on the human or metaphysical problems they explore. Existential philosophy together with its various models of analysis served as the theoretical and methodological frame- work of our study. As the essence of philosophical criticism of literary texts should be the union of literary analysis with philosophical reflexion, our study has been divided into two phases. The first phase is concerned with a phenomenological stu- dy of the forms and structures of the novels aimed at uncovering the existential mouvements and themes of which the said forms and structures are the embodiments. The second phase takes up the themes and mouvements so uncovered in order to submit them to a tho- rough and systematic philosophical analysis. Thus in keeping with an existential approach, in the first instance the adventure of the hero of each novel is viewed and analysed as the dialectics of the individual's freedom as it comes to grips with various si- tuations. In the second instance, other human and historical pro- blems raised by some of these texts are submitted to a sypnotic philosophical scrutiny. Finally, as each of these novels is infor- med by a certain point of view of its author on african human and historical reality, our study ends with a critical evaluation of each author's african thoughts as portrayed in his nove

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

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

Full textConfluence of sociological theories, political movements and moral philosophies regarding the situation of women in general, and within their social, political and economic context in particular, feminism has always embraced worldwide ambitions. In this resolute struggle for women liberation, feminism changed the face several times, and was often divided into trends and streams sometimes opposed to one another with regard to the meaning of the struggle to lead. How is the postcolonial African woman going to react to feminism which can be considered as one of the forms of Western imperialism having for a long time acted in the guise of a universalistic discourse of women liberation? This is the question that Ken Bugul has already asked herself. This study intends to situate Ken Bugul's feminist thought and position at the cross-section of feminist and postcolonial theories

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

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

Full textIt is the purpose of this thesis to establish a link between the Mauritanian, Maghrebian and Sub-Saharan novel in a comparative perspective, in the light of postcolonial theory and narratology; to draw attention to the unjustified negligence of Mauritanian novel production, in the light of the Maghrebian and sub-Saharan novel. After trying to identify the relationship between these themes and those developed by Maghrebian and sub-Saharan authors, we tried to show the dual hybridity both of identity and narrative that characterises this novel production. In this perspective, some common themes, including marginality, revolt, the status of women, slavery, and violence, have been highlighted. The analysis revealed that the predominant theme in the Mauritanian corpus is that of slavery. At the formal level, we explored the ‘narrative poetic’ of ethnographic novels which are essentially in the colonial period and the ‘narrative revolt’ which characterises postcolonial novels. It shows a desire to break with the realistic poetics, to impregnate the written text with narrative elements drawn from traditional oral literature, and to borrow a mode of enunciation specific to traditional tales. Thus, we witness a renewal of narrative aesthetics and the birth of a hybrid poetic on the edge of modernity and tradition.

Full textThis thesis examines the literary representation of migration from a colony to the imperial metropolis in the period of decolonisation through a comparative analysis of novels by Anglophone Caribbean and Francophone Maghribi writers about migration to Britain and France respectively. A major point of convergence is the focus on the relationship of domination. Lamming, Chraïbi and Kateb address this explicitly as a colonial relationship that is psychological and cultural as well as economic, whereas the 1970s writers Boudjedra and Ben Jelloun place both immigration and colonisation within a wider framework of capitalist exploitation. The difficult material conditions and the racism targeting immigrants are not depicted for their own sake but are the occasion of a wide-ranging critique of European modernity. Maghribi writers attack the rationality of Western civilisation as oppressive, whereas the Caribbean novelists focus on the colonial roots of attitudes to non-Europeans. Both sets of writers nonetheless provide responses to European colonialist discourse and to the positive self-presentation of the coloniser through the manipulation of narrative point of view and voice and through the theme of mental breakdown. Most of the novelists set out to refute negative representations of immigrants by restoring aspects they feel are neglected, in particular the emotional dimension of the immigrant experience and the colonial determinants of the relationship between immigrants and natives. In doing so their representations of immigration often conform to the immigrant figure underpinning the discourses they attack. Their preoccupations are distinct from those of later writers and recent discourses about Caribbean and Maghribi populations in Britain and France : with the exception of Selvon and, more ambiguously, Mengouchi and Ramdane, the novelists are not interested in the process of formation of ethnic-diasporic minorities in France and Britain

Full textWoman Images Woman is a character prominent in African literature. Combed, she was the subject of many comments and analyzes by African authors who were particularly prolific on the subject. Although these are different angles and perspectives, all or nearly tackled the crucial issue of Women. Their works are, in fact, marked by the omnipresence of the theme. Literary inspiration, true muse of the writer writing, this woman remains inexhaustible well from which we continuously resource. Indeed, very few, if any are works in which only appears no female figure. Whether, as a main character or single protagonist, the woman is always projected in the African literary space in the heart of the plot, where she is actively involved in its development and contributes to the meaning of the work

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
