Magnier, Julien. "Pour une littérature de l’interdépendance. Littérature et renouvellements politiques en Afrique noire, à partir de Mongo Beti." Thesis, Paris 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA030129/document.
Full textThe links between literature and african politic seem to be so close that they concentrated the problematics and the evolutions of artistic field. According to Mongo Beti, the relation is preponderant, whereas Alain Mabanckou asserts that this closeness is a possibility. Between these generations, it exists both an esthetical and ideological change: the crossing from delinking to an interdependant regime. The writers focus on the useful of the form in ordrer to underline the meaning. The politic of literature follows the contours of the world and its entrance in the era of the Poetic of Relation

Full textThis research, which unfolds in three stages, provides a reflection about the ideological, but also aesthetic dimension of postcolonial Francophone literature in sub-Saharan Africa and Maghreb. It aims precisely to show how a political and ideological discourse is linked up with a literary and aesthetic practice in the novels of the Ivorian Ahmadou Kourouma and the Algerian Rachid Mimouni. In the first two parts, we examine the different aspects of the political engagement of these two francophone writers belonging to different geographic, political social and cultural areas. It is precisely a question of staging their convictions and ideological positions expressed in the novels of the corpus about the phenomena of dictatorship, ideological drifts and war violence, which marked in Africa the period going from the first years of independence to the first decade of the 21st century. The last part aims at examining how poetics can provide suitable models for thinking politics at both writers. More precisely, studying the structures of narration at work in the novels of the corpus allows to highlight the aesthetic issues of their politically engaged writing which draws as much from the forms of the European novel as from African oral tradition
Yoda, Lalbila. "Les fondements du discours politique de Kwame Nkrumah à l'heure des indépendances en Afrique anglophone." Montpellier 3, 1988. http://www.theses.fr/1988MON30022.
Full textNkrumah's political thought has for setting the colonial context which it exposes. It passes a negative judgement on any colonial enterprise which is seen as a mere exploitation of the colonised people. In order to achieve full development a colonised people must get rid of colonial bondage first. According to nkrumah's philisophical consciencism, which is a synthesis between the foreign values (mainly islamic and european), which influenced africa, and the african ones, is the very weapon for decolonisation. Development, he further claims, can only be envisaged through national and continental unity under the guide of scientific socialism. The first step towards scientific socialism is the supremacy of the people through "parliamentary democracy" : a system based on a constitution approved by the entire people in a national referendum. Nkrumah's theory, strongly influenced by the marxist-leninist thought does not seem to suit the african realities despite some positive elements such as social justice. If his thought is still valid today in ghana as well as in the rest of africa it is because the problems he seeked to solve are still the lot of the continent
Elecho, Kolawolé. "Biyi Bandele : crise sociale et contestation politique au Nigeria." Thesis, Cergy-Pontoise, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011CERG0537/document.
Full textBiyi Bandele is a Nigerian writer whose innovative and very rich writings are still little known by academics in France. No large-scale study has been devoted to his writings yet, and this work tries to make up for this gap. This study which is mainly based on the four novels written by Biyi Bandele aims at showing that he is a Carnivalesque novelist and that all of his effort consists in raising questions about the living conditions of his fellow countrymen, the nature of political power and its functioning, and the reasons why nation-building seems impossible in Nigeria so many years after independence . Through these different questions, Biyi Bandele mainly portrays a country in shambles, in such a state of anomy that one can no longer rely on the means of the Europen realist novel to render its situation. But thanks to his exceptional talent as a storyteller, Biyi Bandele manages to make us become aware of this reality by inventing a rich language and a new way of telling story inspired by yoruba traditions and other elements of Nigerian popular culture

Full textFurther to the violent colonial conquests and the postcolonial civil wars, many writers, men and women, applied themselves to depict contemporary Africa's political and cultural upheavals. Female figures emerge from these struggles of power and the underlying resistance movements. Holding political sponsibilities or commited in revolutionary missions, they scope of African societies’tendancies to corruption and despotism through subversive speeches and/or protesting reactions. Based on recent texts published between 1975 and 2005, this dissertation proposes to highlight the rhetorical and stylistic processes at work in the development of a women’s political imaginary. Following an interdisciplinary methodology, we will try to determine the cultural and ideological issues of these constant features and/or poetic innovations in the rewriting, modelling or subversion processes of African struggles’memory

Full textThe South African political transition from a repressive system to a democratic one opened new spaces to a marginalized part of the population among whom the black woman to express themselves, such as the Truth and Reconciliation hearings. This black feminine voice, made free by the political transition is reflected through the development of a literary female production. It gave way to the emergence of new novelistic forms, analysed in our study through ten novels written by eight different female writers between 1998 and 2011: S. Magona, K.L. Molope, K. Matlwa, A.N. Sithebe, A. Makholwa, H.J. Gololai, Z. Wanner and C. Jele. In a first part, we analyse the way these authors rewrite the novel during the transitional period, moving away from a realistic writing, deeply involved in politics and largely used during the apartheid era, towards a more intimate way of writing which reflect the traumas of a national past haunting the present. Then, we examine in three parts how the writers emerging during the post-transitional period explore new genres, rarely used by black South African women until then, namely the Bildungsroman, detective fiction and chick lit, which reflect their fears in the new South Africa. These authors rewrite these European genres, among which popular ones, through a new feminine perspective, thus innovating the themes they deal with and creating a literature made of mixtures. The European novel becomes a subversive tool to criticise a patriarchal and Europeanised society, which, according to these authors, should not deny the past in order to solve the new challenges coming

Full textTitle: « The Political Representation of Power and its Drift in Literary Work by Maxime N’Débéka ». This thesis is a monographic study which explores the thematic of political power in six texts by the Congolese writer: Le Président (1982), Les Lendemains qui chantent (1983), Equatorium (1987), Vécus au miroir (1991), Le Diable à la longue queue (2000) et Sel-piment à la braise (2003). After having presented the various analytical categories of the selected “duchetian” socio-critical method, this dissertation highlights a literary analysis of political power by taking into account a certain number of cultural, sociological and psychological factors which in one way or another influence its perception and management within a geographical space and institutional framework representative of Sub-Saharan Africa. By putting forward the typological differences as well as the trajectories borrowed by the “Fathers of independences” and the “Guides of the revolution” in order to ascend to power, this thesis shows how, after officially achieving independence from colonial rule, African political “elites” very often driven by the lure of gain and the appropriation of privileges have set up authoritarian and mind-numbing political regimes which led them to drift

We present an in-depth analysis of the works of west african novelists (both male and female) and we study the evolution of the historical conditions, the literary techniques, the use of the language. We also investigate the novelists' involvement in generation movements and their sociopolitical images as well as their strategies to achieve efficiency in the process of enforcing a contemporary african fiction
Mezui, M'Okane Faustin. "La représentation du sacré et du pouvoir chez Ahmadou Kourouma." Bordeaux 3, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010BOR30031.
Full textThe problem of political power id obsessing in African literature of French expression. Born from the colonial fact and in reaction against that system, literary production ceased forever, to express with regard to the powers a particularly acute sensitiveness. In Ahmadou Kourouma's novel, two categories of authority appear simultaneously : the traditional and the modern one. The traditional powers draw their ligitimacy from the "mythical contract", connecting the king to the founding ancestors. Because of this social contract, the chief exerts a quite relative authority where the despotism is quasi absent. Modern powers thus operate in a selective way in the African cultural substrate, retaining practices, speeches and knowledge considered to be, legitimate in other times, they bring them up to date. By using values, modern chiefs have a claim with the divinity. However, the bases of this ambition are called into question by the extreme violence characterizing their exercise of power. To characterize the "national disenchantment", the writer draws from the Malinke repertory the vitality of his speech. And for this reason his writing resembles the oratory aptitude of Mandingue chanters

Full textThis is an examination from a socio-critical point of view of the relationship between political commitment and the narrative form, nemely realist fiction, based on the works of two south african novelists, nadine dordimer and andre brink, and on doris lessing's african-based novels. The committed stance of the writers is explained by the racist and oppressive nature of southern african society. Yet the realist novel, through which they first chose to express their commitment, is slowly discarded in favour of less conventional narrative structures as the coherence of their respective world-views is undermined by a shift in their ideological positions brought about by changes in the socio-political situation

Full textThe federal germany's foreign policy as applied to developing countries and specifically to the countries of sub-saharan africa gives no special place to cultural relations as such. Whether it is expressed in the general framework of development aid, or in that of training aid, "cultural aid for self-help" and its many guises, the record is generally unsatisfactory and necessitates repeated attempts at conceptualisation. Although this conceptualisation integrates various aspects of a shared demand for a new and more just world economic order, it nevertheless shows the limitations inherent in the very nature of cultural relations

Full textThe literatures of Africa and the Caribs of the seventies in ninety count a series of novels having for theme of preference the politics. Certain critics see there the emergence of a romantic kind baptized "new novel ". Others underline the thematic confluence in works relating to the said novel "politics" or "anti-utopian". Up to now, it seems that the reception of this shape of writing did not put in narrow correlation its favourite theme with the particular historic context, which unites them. Now, this last one is determining within the framework of a better knowledge of these texts still in search of definition. Indeed, the seventies in ninety correspond to the period of the dictatorships of Africa and the Caribbean islands. This report brought to us to envisage a new reception of this romantic tendency on a universal model: the "political novel ", to retain only this concept. For the experiment of this hypothesis of search, within the framework of a comparative approach, the choice was to confront "constants" and "variants" of these literatures in the light of a corpus of six works. Therefore, the representation of the dictatorship allowed discovering a closed conflicting universe established by one new political practice and a thought. The set of the actors is there a tragedy in a space, which looks like a labyrinth. The board reveals moved individuals and dominated by a system to the speed of monster. The image of the "circle of fire" the illustrious property a large-scale tragedy where any escape attempt moves closer to the man of the death. A style of metonymical writing maintains the wandering of the characters there who, ceaselessly, stumble over the unbridgeable walls of the dictatorship. The literary speech is not there that a plea in favour of the man and of the freedom; it is there a termination of the condition of the writer and the subjection of the literature

Full textMany political scientists perceived the recent history of africa as the exact replica of the political process in south america. Post-independent africa indeed experiences identical sociopolitical difficulties with latin american countries : social inequelities, tremendow debt, political subordination, army-controlled political power, etc. . . And those are signs of the failure of politics in both continent which generated a profuse production of literary works, espacially in the field of novel-writing where the dominant feature invariously comes out to be the military dictators. Every literature is the product and the image of the environnement in which it take rooks. This identity of inspiration is therefore not amazing, and such a community of fate has mather favoured the rise of what is called by some people a "thrid word literature". Somehow, novelists in both contients declaim against established military power and demigrate dictators, for they see their works as a contribution to the life of their respective societies. Moreaver, they continually adopt similar literary attitudes. Indeed, if sembene ousmaner or ferdinand oyono make you think of zola or balzac, it is their latin american countes ports that the 1980 ies' african prose weiters take up

Full textBy concentrating on Nadine Gordirner's work written throughout her long and prolific career, the thesis covers sixty-two years of South African history and literary production and leads us to examine the synergy between nation and narration. The concomitance of these two notions can initially be ascribed to historical circumstances, since the author's literary beginnings coincided with the advient of the apartheid regime in South Afiica. Starting with the questioning of her own identity as both a white South African and white writer, she then devoted her writing to understanding and recounting the complex political evolution of her country. From apartheid and its colonial origins to the post-apartheid moment and the present era of economic and cultural globalization, these changes have prompted her to rethink existing literary and political forms. We will therefore question the power of Nadine Gordimer's literary discourse to narrate the South African nation. The corpus we use to tackle this question focuses on her substantial nonfictional writing, previously understudied if not unknown, and on its interaction with her fiction (novels and short stories). We can then observe the impact that the choice of a writing genre mig,ht have on the act of narrating the nation. The author, her work and the national question are here presented as 'post-colonial'. However, based on the South African con/text and with the help of recent critical theory, we will also argue that we must redefine such a label which sometimes turas out to be problematic and totalizing

Full textThe thesis is an analysis of some topics of social criticism by the writers of the novels we've been working on. Starting with the "new romantic character", that is, the dictator, we described social realities, emphasizing on the nature and pertinence of new societies, just as they appear in the novels. Then we went on to analyze the style as a way of producing : how does each of the writers gives a personal presentation of social realities. We also got interested in the satirical style, not just because of the mood but and over all as a topic (viloence, barbarism, fancy). To bring in thisnew set of topics there was a search of new models and this is particularly thrue for labou tansi. He was clearly influenced by marquez but on the long run, he went further his own way

Full textAfter having revisited the concept of authorship and analyzed the highly polyphonic and multicultural vocation of the francophone discourse, this work, focusing on three geographical areas (Brittany, Québec, Sub-Saharian Africa) and three authors (Pierre-Jakez Hélias, Félix Leclerc and Cheikh Hamidou Kane), examines the tension between the moral duty of belonging to a minority culture and the universality of the literary project. First, a study of Pierre-Jakez Hélias shows the underexamined biculturalism of some French populations and the uneasy identity of the author in a “French Francophone” context. Then, through Felix Leclerc 's writings, I question the Quebecois author's wor k, whose troubling ambiguity is not entirely accounted for by the myth of a bipolar opposition between English and French. Finally, with the study of potential identities in Kane’s novels, I discuss the evidence of a homogeneous black African identity, in order to better assess the relevance of a manifold reading of African cultures in literature. Ultimately, this work demonstrates that Francophone authors are ethically free to overcome biological constraints so their work can bear the hallmark of an assumed “alterculturality”

Full textIn most African langages, the Bible is one of the first books ever translated. As a consequence, the images it conveys have played a prominent part in the literary imagery endemic to each region of the continent. Among all the various characters depicted in the Old and the New Testament, Jesus Christ is center stage, since he is the origin of all redemption, as well as an ambivalent character standing at the crossroads of religion and politics. As an implicit character constructed by various discourses, he represents simultaneously or successively a rebel fighting roman imperialism or a collaboraor who gives unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar. This character finds an echo in the works of Dambudzo Marechera (1952-1987) and Tchicaya U Tam'si (1931-1988) as he raises questions on the connexions between religion, literature and politics during and beyond colonial times in Zimbabwe and Congo. As a matter of fact, both authors occupy a prominent place in their respective literary landscape. Although they have been disparaged for being overly hermetic or European, they have left a lasting impression on the following generations of writers who consider them as precursors or even « father of our dream » as far as Tchicaya is concerned. Following this approach which combines literary theory and literary history, a reflection on the nature of characters is prompted by the conception of messianism as a dynamics which creates christ-like figures and positions them both in time and space. Finally, by chosing a syllabus including narratives, theatrical plays and poetry, we've attempted to give this type of character its full meaning while questioning the pivotal role it plays for both authors

Full textAt the edge of the XXIst century, the importance of "imagologie" in comparative literature cannot be ever emphasized. In fact the contact between France and Black Africa has been adversative, consecrating the dualistic Black/White as two singular and insurmountable entities. The representation of French writers on Black Africa try to make an appraisal of the last development of this situation on historical, social, cultural, political and economic plan. This brings out, in the second half of the XXth century, two cruel angles : the French look on Africa and that of Africa on the western world. It was based on conciliating, through a comparative study and an alterity block, the reflexion on motion such as : the north/south dialogue, neo-colonialism, sustainable development Franco-African cooperation; and the constitution of a positive knowledge on unpublished narrative space characterising the reception of black Africa in the imagination of the French. But it is a constellation of (various) diverse and current questions asked in varied forms detective, adventure learning, ethnology. And numerous themes, the mugger's wife, the African intelligentsia, the evolution of language and collective blindness

Takhar, Jennifer. "L' Orientalisme, la race et la représentation : un parcours littéraire de Zola à Tahar Ben Jelloun." Paris 3, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PA030044.
Full textLooking more specifically at French Orientalism, colonialism and writings on biological racism in nineteenth century pseudo-scientific discourse, right through to Tahar Ben Jelloun’s exposure and textual riposte to this racism, I hope to trace a genealogy of race awareness and racial discrimination in France and underscore the very gendered nature of racial taxonomies as they are presents in nineteenth century canonical French literature. Very often we find, as Madeleine Dobies argues, that the Orient or Other is feminized and the feminine is orientalised. For instance in Balzac’s novella, La Fille aux yeux d’or (1835) all Parisian women are figured as cloistered odalisque types, describe with the use of anthropological and botanical language which serve to other and orientalize them. Describing women as orientales makes them irredeemably other and provides a titillating gloss to the western female, boosting her sexual credentials. However this othering also reveals the condition of French women who are sexually stimulating as long as they remains indoors. Such literary representations show that the French tradition of orientalism does not always directly represent French colonial subjects or situations. Rather, the allegories about otherness in French orientalism tend to be literary figurations that detour or displace the problems of the colonial encounter; in effect colonialism is often not named or addressed. Biological difference then, particularly in the nineteenth century, serves as a cloaked analogy for racial difference

Full textWhy are James A. Michener's historical sagas so successful ? Is it because the general public is fond of their thrilling taste or because the books successfully mix facts and fiction ? An analysis of Michener's novel on the history of South Africa, " The Covenant ", can help answer this question. For Western readers, South Africa is a faraway land which, in a few years, has switched from political struggle against apartheid to sanitary struggle against AIDS. But when the book was published in 1980, the Afrikaners' nationalist power, which relied on the gold and diamond mine landowners, was locked in segregation and repression policies. In " The Covenant " James A. Michener gives his own interpretation of the relations between Blacks and Whites, Bushmen and Dutchmen, Boers and Xhosa, Voortrekkers and Zulus, and finally between Afrikaners and Englishmen, throughout history. To study " The Covenant " is to observe what the American author has selected from a mass of historical facts in order to explain the evolution of South African society. In pursuing our analysis, we will realize that his choices are intimately linked to his political and philosophical ideas. But we will also see that the well-kown specialist of historical sagas stretching through hundreds and even thousands of years, could rely on a whole team whose job was to help bring the South African project to a successful end. Discovering the religious and nationalist significations of " The Covenant ", we will also understand how this good example of contemporary literature was written thanks to a combination of money and skills

Full textThe @word myth conveys something mysterious and sacred and ritual can be defined as the re-enactment of religious events whose originals are lost in the gloom of time. A committed writer is fully aware of the lyrical power of his art, which is by its very nature a mediium for change. Theater properly responds to the changing pattern of events and to the dynamics of any situation and Wole Soyinka's drama can be seen as the womb of a never-fading social consciousness. The Nigerian dramatist advocates objectivity in literature, the displaying of the other side-the evil side- which, alas, often overtakes human beings. He is deeply rooted in the cosmogony and aesthetics of his people, the Yoruba and also a true disciple of Ogun, the first deity to dare the gulf of transition between the realm of gods and humanity. Soyinka's drama not only aims at the comprehensive world of myth, repetitive history and mores but it also suggests some ways of conquering the effective power of the individual in the actual tragic context of modern Africa social issues. The African artist's mythopoesis calls us to immerse thoroughly within the whirpool of cosmic forces, understand their nature, rescue the combative nature of the will and emerge wiser

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 textBecause of the interference of the modern system with the traditional system, the analytical approach based on african historical stages appears more adapted. This approach leads us to look into justice and order in african pre-colonial society and police in colonial society (introductory part). Then, the orientation of the researches on the independent state reveals an institutional mimetism (the adoption of the european models) which grapples with the nascent political order (part i). The political power responsible for this order exerts a so determining pressure on police that man is tempted to compare african police forces with political forces. This establishment of skid argues necessarily for a thought on police forces institutionalization. This thought is itself proved to be based on a police authority (police power) compatible with the efficiency of public utility (part ii)

Full textWāsiṭat al-sulūk fī siyāsat al-mulūk is a Mirror for Princes written in the 8th/14th century by the Zayyānid ruler of Tlemcen, Abū Ḥammū Mūsā II (d. 791/1389). Similarly to many later Mirrors for Princes composed in the Maghreb, this book did not attract the interest of many researchers and no comprehensive study was made of it. This research work proposes to establish a critical edition of it and to analyze it. The aim is to consider the specificities of this Mirror for Princes, on the one hand, by analyzing the theoretical discourse on good government in the light of the particular context in which this book was written and by comparing it with the political experience of its author and, on the other hand, by comparing it with the works constituting its principal sources. This study also aims to analyze the terminology used in the Wāsiṭat al-sulūk fī siyāsat al-mulūk to better understand certain concepts frequently used in the Mirrors for Princes, such as those of siyāsa, tadbīr, ḥazm and ẖāṣṣa, and to determine the particular use that is made of them in the work. Finally, the narrative of events which the author himself develops as one of the protagonists is analyzed and compared to the story of the same events relayed by his contemporaries in order to highlight the writing strategies implemented in the book and to establish the different functions of this Mirror for Princes which is far more than a simple compilation of advice intended for the Crown Prince

Panafricanism must be distinguished from Consciencism or Nkrumahism-tureism its ideology. Understanding panafricanism is, through a methodic process bringing and relating together important questions as historical and structural anthropology of Africa, the slavery phenomenon, and also the real nature of the links caracterizing Africa and her peoples in their relations with the rest of the world

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 president of the national assembly in black Africa: a comparative analysis from the examples of the Ivory Coast and Senegal. The president of the national assembly in the Ivory Coast and Senegal is the reflection of the institution he runs. He is properly dominated by the president of the republic. The latter appoints him, tells him what conduct he must have in parliament and, generally, in the state. In this, the person that we may call “the first member of parliament” is an essential element of the political regime of the two countries in so far as, at the same time, he preserves the democratic appearance of a republican regime (for instance the separation of powers) and contributes to the institutional supremacy of the head of state. The evolution which started as soon as 1976 in Senegal, which spread over the whole of Africa, did not fundamentally alter these characteristics of political life: the strengthening of the democratic appearance of the institutions has been coupled with a subtle and complex relationship

Full textThe state in black Africa is a political project fundamentally different from what has been obtained and what can be seen elsewhere, particularly in the west. Many theories have attempted to explain this form of political organisation in more or less convincing way. In our opinion, the state in black Africa is a "patriarchie", that is, a political system based on the authority and the leadership of a person who is the "founding father" and who holds essential powers and creates filial relationships with the governed. This state is created by an institutional process of hybridation which borrows elements from the local socio-political system; these elements are conjugated with those originating from modes of organisation of foreign societies. In a strategy of carrying out leadership of the "patriarque", the "patriarchic" state creates a monolithic or pluralistic organisation. It ensures the stability of the government. By the ideology of "African authenticity", and also by the political violence and the "patrimonialisation" of the national economy. This type of state is that which we observed in Zaire, Togo, Ivory Coast and Gabon during the last 25 or 30 years

Full textThe construction (or the strengthening) of the state in Africa reveal a number of actors (political parties, armies, churches. . . ). Can one say that the youth in school attendance is an actor of the African political scene ? What are its roles ? Which functions are its ? The examination of the gabonese situation shows that the state produces more than one public policies towards these youth who respond to is, in time and space, by various attitudes (opposition, contesting, integration) reaveling their statute and their longings. Thus, it seems that the "sacralisation" of the youth has been translated in the facts, by a real "sacrifice" materialized by the collapse of the school system. A privileged group, the youth in school attendance has carried out an opposition mission within the monopartising systems before satisfying itself, for various reasons, with the defense of its corporatist interest until this defense questions the system acting as a catalyst in the shaking of the continent since 1990. But, doesn't the escaping from this crisis depend on a post-modern synthesis which goes beyond tradition and modernity ?

Full textAfrica's under development, which is often misunderstood and wrongly defined, is examined here from new angles and interpreted in novel ways. An economic subsbucture, relying on two production systems: the more "modern" one, the legacy of colonisation, is focussed an the interests of the upper stratum. This system has remained unchanged since accession to independence, as a result of outmoded and obsolete processes being maintened. However both the production system itself and the resulting revenue are geared to satisfying the needs of non African countries, the more "traditional" one, subsistance-based, tends to drag the economy down. It is characterized by archaic pratices, oblivious to modem organizational structures, scientifically approved methods and rigorous models or mecanisms. The interaction of these two forces, puiling as they do in opposing directions, results in a paralysis of Africa, which is thus frozen in its state of under developmernt. A matetary substructure, unclear in its definition, often over simplistic and lacking the basis which confers value and validity to any currency. This in turn points to a number of questions: of a légal nature, according to International Public Law and which once again raise the issue of the sovereignty of African States. That are both monetary and economic, which can best be summed up by a total lack of understanding as to purpose of a currency "ara African economies currency-based ?" In part I, we decribed the theoretical and practical means of triggering African development, before examining a number of solutions to these problems in part II. -Economic structures : using economic science to open Africa up to the rest of the world by creating an African Common Market (single market) -ACM - designed to help the continent break out of its isolation and start building a future for itself. -Currency solutions : insofar as no African currency is convertible, we suggest the stablishment of an Inter African Central Bank - IACB - and the creation of four regional Banks, to issue and circulate a single currency. The advantages for the continent as a whole of such an initiative are manifold, putting an end to economic dependency, strengthening democracies and priming develoment

Full textThe security of africa follows the bipolar division of the world. By integrating the african continent in their conception of collective security, the united states reinforce their own security ; assert themselves in a region formerly reserved to the european allies ; attempt to contain soviet influence, and firmly want to keep control of the cap route. Their rise has been favoured by historical factors and motivated by political imperatives and strategic interests. Finally, africa is only an instrument of american strategy. The different american central points are the northern africa, sub-saharan africa and the indian ocean region with diego garcia as main strategic point. This network of facilities has got some meaning because of the existence of the rapid deployment force. To guaranty the efficiency of their security policy, the americans resort to other stratagems such as security assistance, economic aid, force demonstration, atlantist solidarity and tactical tolerance towards south africa. But nothing is definitive in a continent made of many conflicting situations. If in the sixties the congolese crisis has represented a victory for the united states, in the seventies, soviet and cuban implantation in angola and ethiopia looks like a failure of the american safety device in africa. Several scenarios are possible for the future. But all those hypothesis don't allow africa to get rid of great powers mortgage

Full textThis comparative study of the works of French and English speaking African philosophers wonders about the occasion and conditions of the possibility of an original philosophical thinking in the (over) determined circumstances generated by colonization and post-colonial situation. This reading of contemporary African philosophies tries to bring out and to analyze the receptions of Western philosophies – these one may be political or analytical philosophy, hermeneutics, aesthetics, logic, ethics or even law philosophy – but also the re-interpretations of what is commonly called “African traditions”, in order to understand how a philosophical thinking is constructed within some particular contexts of production of a speech. These philosophers’ thoughts induce us to re-think the place of philosophy, its geography, but also its constitutional process because they are crossing multiple horizons and different rationalities. These philosophies oscillate between an approach corresponding to the identifying thought of the One, and an attitude favorable to openness and creation. Our concerns is to understand how these philosophies are linked with African and Western philosophical traditions that they invest and renew in a dialogue they try to engage with European and/or American philosophical writings

Full textThe economic integration in West Africa is not at all a panacea. And it is improbable that, alone, it engenders a quick economic gowth. Nevertheless, insomuch as it permits not to deal only with policies of substitution importations with investment of capitals geared to national markets which are in most cases very limited, it offers perspectives for potential important advantages. Taking into account the difficulties of harmonisation of the ECWA and of the ECOWAS, two situations are possible : the ECWA will be assimilated by the ECOWAS or the ecwa will attract into her orbit other states
