Full textThis work, whose research field concerns the French novel of Africa south of the Sahara, is to analyze the direction of the trajectory of the African intellectual, fifties to the present. It is precisely to see how African fiction productions of the last sixty years represent the situation of the intellectual in African society, through its developments and prospects. What French-language African novel role has historically devoted to the character of the intellectual and what are the new modes of action and ideas productions today contribute to strengthening the role? At the time, Africa, public speaking increasingly of the bankruptcy or the "death of the African intellectual," we found it necessary to question the novel on this subject, from a kind analytical panorama from 1950 to the 2010s, to observe how the African literary fiction has long represented the figure of the intellectual representation and how this has evolved over the past decades. Borrowing constantly its theoretical and methodological tools in the sociology of literature, this dissertation examines what happened to the African intellectual and positioning it adopts in the current tour to the African societies globalization. Form of literary history, it has intellectual every time the African continent through its identity and political issues. Beyond its countless failures, the African intellectual is a figure inhabited by an ethic of conviction and responsibility. In this perspective, the crisis of the observable commitment to evolving the intellectual in contemporary African novel, far from being a sign of his "death" imminent, wants it a crisis of change, where old modalities commitment die and new ones seek to hatch

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

Full textAs a result of traumatic events experienced during the colonial period, female authors from Africa writing in French or Portuguese and belonging to the mainstream of post-colonial literature chose the novel, from the 1980s onward, as vehicle for reconstructing female identity – a subject about which they speak freely.Proceeding both from the Portuguese-language novels of Paulina Chiziane, Ngonguita Diogo, Lueji Dharma and Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida, and from the (mostly autobiographical) French-language novels of Véronique Tadjo, Calixthe Beyala, Léonora Miano and Tanella Boni, the present study uses the methods of comparative literature to show how colonialisation, slavery, war, suffering, the break-down of family structures, the imposition of European language and culture and, finally, mass migration lead to the destruction, obliteration and fragmentation of the identity of those novels’ characters.At the same time, those very characters actively deconstruct the models of identity inherited from colonialism while seeking to reconstruct their own identity by questioning contemporary society and notions of exile and migration, and by acknowledging their place in an « Afropolitan » culture reuniting the « Africans of the World ». The culmination of this quest is the recognition of an hybrid identity encompassing tradition, modernity and pluralism.Thus the French- and Portuguese-speaking African authors of our corpus call into question received ideas and, in search of the reconstruction and affirmation of womanhood, address complex topics including exile (voluntary or involuntary), homosexuality, dance as pleasure and therapy, and music – to name but a few.This multiple approach, based on the reappropriation of African components and the revisitation of European ones, allows the creation of an identity which, far from remaining fixed, can engender a dynamic process and renew transfer and exchange between those two [and other cultures
Chantot, Anne. "Colonisation et décolonisation des espaces dans les romans de J. M. Coetzee." Dijon, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004DIJOL002.
Full textSince foreign countries would not have been colonized in the past, had there been no "space" to colonize, the postcolonial critique cannot avoid an analysis of the representation of colonial space in literature, nor its links to the colonial discourse that preceded and legitimized the colonization of land overseas. The postcolonial critique of colonial space in the novels of the South-African writer Coetzee takes mainly two shapes : first of all, it demystifies the discourse of cartography (which has long been thought to be neutral and objective) ; secondly, it subverts through parody spatial codes attached to specific genres. Nevertheless, because of the awareness that any kind of critique is complicit in what it criticizes, postcolonial critique acknowledges its ambivalence, that at best it (de)colonizes representations of space, that is to say decolonizes and recolonizes them at the very same time. As a consequence, Coetzee's attempt to portray a de-colonized landscape that goes beyond the Manichean binary structure of colonial space is doomed to failure, unless we realize that what is at stake is less represented space than textual space. Representation in his novels mainly aims at elaborating strategies that prevent its colonization by what we may call "colonial critics" - critics that are anxious to colonize the empty or indeterminate spaces of the text and/or to reduce the (literary) other to the same, neglectful of the ambiguous quality of literary texts. As a result, the postcolonial critique in Coetzee's novels intends not so much to invent new representations of space as to change our conception of literature and our way of interpreting texts

Full textThe development of postcolonial studies has provided a new interpretative framework in which to think about the literary production of countries that have undergone colonialism. In this context, the African novel has been transformed and new poetic elements have appeared after independence. I have chosen to analyze six novels from three distinct national literary inspirations to carry a comparative analysis comparing different types of violence. Despite the differences found between the colonization and independence processes, I noticed that the issues related to violence are often repeated. My aim has been to study the experience of violence through Mia Couto’s, Sony Labou Tansi’s and JM Coetzee’s narrative work, examining for instance, the abuse of power, the construction of stereotypes, oppression and the utilization of orphanages to show the richness of this literature that aims at unsettling the established order and offering a new version of past events; and also on the structural level, humor or linguistic creations reveal the desire to translate and hybridize cultures
Ndemby, Manfoumby Wilfried Hermann. "L'écriture des lieux de mémoire dans quelques romans d'Afrique et des Antilles." Thesis, Lyon, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019LYSES029.
Full textThis thesis aims at re-defining the French concept of« place of memory » as defined by Pierre Nora in the West Indian and African spaces through the relationship between literature and history. Indeed, slavery, colonisation and apartheid serve as a background to a wide range of representations of places of memory in West Indian and African literatures. This thesis is composed of three main sections. The first section provides some historical context that allows connecting Africa and Caribbean Islands. The second section scrutinizes the topographic aspect of the places of memory in various ways: toponymy, heterotopia, spaces of power and landscapes. The third section, which sheds light on the notion of figure of memory, focuses on the experiences of historical and fictional characters, which enable to define new kinds of heroism.To that extent, this study leads to think about the challenges of collective memory of people in a postcolonial background in which « memories war » spreads out
Mbede, Gabriel. "La crise de la pensée africaine contemporaine et la problématique post-coloniale." Nantes, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011NANT3039.
Full textThe historic evolution of the African thought since the ante-independence period has known a way-through actually revealing a profound ailment. If then, the period of independences has been characterised by a revolutionary thought, aiming on, the re-appropriation of its self-assertion and destiny, the frustration undergone by the post-colonial African States has led to the rush of self-subversive and derisive option. For, the hasty investment of identity and authenticity matters, consequently led to a suicidal confinement in peculiarity and a sublimate past. Implicating, an imperative requirement in overcoming the management and blasting of peculiarity and ‘’ Ethnosubstantial’’ assertions, for an opening to the world. Will the African thought, then moved to the logic of a world living the torment of complexity and among which, identity categories are much more to loose of their relevance. But it seems that, by annexing the matters of deterritorialisation, exile, deconstruction, ‘’migrance’’ etc…, the African thought goes along with concepts of the post-modernity. However, we think that it’s not undergoing the uncomfortable posture of ‘’desubstantial’’ and stateless matters of the post-modern anthropology, that the Africans will be able to overcome all the challenges of Globalisation. We rather think that, the African thought, should follow the way of renaissance/recognition, promoting an effective multiculturalism, carrier of both singularity and universality. This will permit an escarpment from both into peculiarity as well as to a vain illusory cosmopolitism and universalism
Amor, Anis Ben. "Champ de tension entre littérature africaine et surréalisme." Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Philosophische Fakultät III, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/16269.
Full textThe surrealistic idea has surely had a great influence on the founders of the Négritude-Movement. We are able to find it in the works and poetics of Césaire, Senghor and Damas, and especially in the surrealistically orientated review Tropiques as well as in the critical reception of the African literature. The first alliance of the representatives of the first generation of African poets with Surrealism is due to some of their shared objectives such as the questioning of the colonial system, the critic of colonialism and the recovery and revalorization of the African cultural heritage. The first African poets like Senghor, Césaire and Damas tried to incorporate and apply the surrealistic program to their proper context in order to achieve their own targets, such as: poetically, like Rimbaud declared, to change life and politically, like Marx stated, to change the world. The relationship between Surrealism and African literature presents the main subject of this paper. The dissertation treats particularly authors, who have not yet been examined from a surrealistic point of view. Concerning this thesis, Dambudzo Marechera is regarded above all as an exemplary representative for new literary avant-garde writing from Africa. The area of research for this study is limited most notably on forms of literary Avant-gardes in Africa south of the Sahara and most of all on surrealistic forms. This will be examined by the means of artistic conceptions and philosophy as well as poetic extracts of the postcolonial Zimbabwean writer, which will demonstrate the tendencies of a new trend of writing. The dissertation examines the relationship between European Surrealism and African poetry stemmed from the first and later generations of African writers through Césaire and Marechera. Additionally, it presents a pleadge for pushing the boundaries of research in the field of Surrealisms of African literature and awakening the interest for more research concerning the topic of this paper.
Chavoz, Ninon. "La tentation encyclopédique dans l'espace francophone africain : des documentations coloniales aux glossaires contemporains." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCA090.
Full textAs it induces a long-term study embracing both imperial literature and contemporary glossaries, the evocation of an encyclopaedic temptation aims to examine a heuristic continuum between colonial and postcolonial eras. It highlights the evolution of a specific scholarly discourse, characterized by an overarching position of classification as well as a predilection for the “cultural inventory” of the unknown. If encyclopaedism thus allows to nourish the epistemological analysis of "africanism" and to question the modalities of its “undisciplined” adaptations, we shall essentially consider it as a tool for the analysis of plastic and literary forms – especially as a point of entry to what Bernard Mouralis called “counter-literatures”. The attention paid to encyclopaedic temptations experienced by Paul Hazoumé, Georges Ngal and Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, but also by Théodore Monod, Alain Mabanckou or Hassan Musa, allows to re-read these works as the expression of a porosity between knowledge and creation. Combining the exercise of the scholarly quotation with a speculative impetus towards the future, the encyclopaedia sets the hypothesis of a flattening perspective allowing the free juxtaposition of heterogeneous elements. In a context of agonistic rivalry surrounding postcolonial knowledge, it offers a leveled and pacified encounter space, the painful setback of which is embodied by marginal and contested encyclopaedic figures. Staging a labile knowledge and a hypertrophied individual, encyclopaedism is indeed a phenomenon of our time and therefore offers a common ground for contemporary French and Francophone literatures

Full textThe media and literature, from time immemorial, appear to be inextricably linked. So do we also take delight in underlining the complementary and interdependence of the two fields that develop and gain ground together. We speak of African literature, it will be proper to say that its emergence and engraving the media and especially in the press are very recent facts, in a given period, African fiction comes up, with dazzling speed in the press in France as well as in Africa ? Presenting the problem of the African literature media coverage in France and in Africa in this way as a main hypothesis, this thesis sets out to clear up the links between the media, especially the press and African fiction. This work comprises three major parts : The first has to do with the genesis and development of the media and African Literature. The second part of this work examines the criteria of media coverage of African Literature. It is a study of reception of the African literary fact in the media in France as well as in Africa. “The media, writers and authorial function” is the title of the third part. It shows on the basis of studies in the field of sociology applied to literature, the work of art has some links with social structures
Abossolo, Pierre Martial. "Fantastique et rapport au surnaturel : essai de lecture comparée des textes français et africains." Grenoble 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009GRE39041.
Full textThis three-part work compares a certain number of French and African narrative texts (novels and short stories) in which one can find side by side the natural and the supernatural. In the western context, this juxtaposition gave rise to the genre known as the fantastic, characterized by themes and esthetics that can easily be linked to the eighteen century rationalism. After reading African texts where this juxtaposition can be observed, we wonder if it is possible to also say talk of fantastic test taking into consideration a number of cultural parameters. The first part of this work tries to show that the notion of fantastic can be a tributary of the cultural conception of the supernatural. It questions the appropriateness of African texts with the western conceptions of the fantastic elaborated with respect to the relationship of the West to the supernatural. It also surveys non western approaches of this notion. At the end of this part, we come to the conclusion that it could be talked of the African fantastic with regards to certain criteria, and that its modalities need to be defined. In the second part, in a comparative approach, we present a survey of setting, time, characters, objects and themes of the texts that constitute our corpus. We try to show each time how in the French context, the supernatural which always appears in a sudden way by disrupting the normal order of things cause hesitation (as defined by Todorov). That is believe or not to believe. We also show that this is not always the case in the African texts where we can find other forms of hesitation that can challenge the todorovian, hesitation especially in laymen and those who are not initiated who find it difficult to explain the inner meaning of things. They are thus torn between the African tradition and the western modernism. The third part is concerned with the esthetics, particularly the techniques of juxtaposition of the natural and the supernatural, to the narration moods and the choice of words and rhetoric used by the writers. It shows on the one hand, that in the French texts, it's about writing to disrupt the story with the goal of provoking indecision in the reader. On the other hand, indecision in the African texts are linked, both in the reader and the writer, to the choice to be made between the traditional African narratives techniques and techniques pertaining to modern western genres on the one hand, and French language and African languages on the other hand

Full textThe bonds between France and its former African colonies have tightened after tha independences. One of the most visible manifestation of this movement has certainly been the massive presence of French doctors in post-colonial Africa. This thesis explores the political and scientific dimensions of this phenomenon, at the intersection between the history of biomedicine and the history of decolonization. Focusing on the case of Cameroon, the thesis combines several micro-studies. Organized as the biography of a drug, the Lomidine, the first part narrates the troubled aspects of the medical history of the decolonisation (1945-1960). As post-war technological progress renewed the ambitions of colonial doctors, it also entailed a series of contradictions and accidents. Medical action oscillated between modemizing optimism and colonial reaction : it epitomized the ambiguity of the times. The second part examines the involvement of French and Cameroonian medical doctors in the politics of decolonisation. The franco-cameroonian medical corporation was placed at the forefront of the political scene at the moment of independence (1960). As such, it participated in the making of the System of "La Coopération", as a privileged site where the future of post-colonial relations between France and Cameroon was imagined and organized. The third part analyses the functioning of "La Coopération" through the historical ethnography of an institution of biomedical research involving both French expatriates and Cameroonian staff. It casts light on the decolonisation of medical and scientific practices, unveiling its mechanisms as well as its contretemps

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 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 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 textTutuola changes himself into the seconds's spokesman in reproducing the exact traditional form of the tale. The correlation between the hero's age and the theme of the corresponding tale, the coalescing of themes, and the presence of some african social values are essential to bring out the african specificity of the tales. Initiation contributes largely to the building of a linear structure. Repetition of quasi-identical sequences is a characteristic of the didactic dimension. The parenthetical technique gives a horizontal progression to the story. Tutuola's art of portrait is almost the same as the one of the african sculptor. The metaphorical dimension of a character's physical portrait is linked, in most cases, to his psychological dimension. Most of the symbols have a particular african connotation

Full textThe thesis considers the development of a written literature in an African language, focusing on pulaar (Senegal/Mauritania), one of the major dialectal variants of Fulani. The first part treats the interface between political context, linguistic changes and literary writing on the Latin alphabet. It is divided into two parts and (1960-1990s) centred on the appropriation of the languages by scholars seeking to integrate the culture into their nationalist claims. A second period, which extends to the present, witnesses the appearing of new and less politicised writers who, more interested to the status of individuals in a mutating society, appropriated the art of writing while refusing to use it to express ideologies. The second part considers literary creativity, using some sixty texts (mostly prose and poetry) identified during fieldwork in Senegal and Mauritania. Given the wealth of texts obtained and the author’s desire to reveal their riches, the choice was made to focus on prose, and on four novels from already well-known writers belonging to the second literary period: Yero Dooro JALLO, Nidkkiri Joom Moolo (Ndikkiri le Guitariste), 1981 ; Ibraahiima DEM, Sahre Goonga (Le Monde de la Vérité), 1997 ; Saydu Bah, Sammba Jallo. Moni fof et feccere mum (Sammba Jallo. Chacun sa destinée), 2005 ; Mammadu Abdul SEK, Ngayngu Gid’li (L’Amour-Haine), 2004. The appendix contains the detailed summaries of the four novels and a biobibliography of fifteen authors

Full textThe aim of this thesis “NEGRO TRAGEDIES AND GREEK TRAGEDIES” is to compare the tragic negro theatre to the tragic greek theatre. Given that literary critics and researches attach less importance to comparative analysis of the theatricals of these two societies, this work questions the nature and significance of Negro tragedies in relation to Greek tragedies. While allot had been done on French, German, Italian. . . Tragedies in their relation to Greek tragedies, nothing has been heard on Negro tragedies, as if Negro-african theatre had been less poetic and less expressive. This work is based on three axes. First, the conditions of production of tragic in the colonised African societies and Caribbean’s- the theatre in general and tragic theatre in particular. This section lays emphasis on the positive influence of ancients authors (Eschyle, Sophocle and Euripide) on the Negro-african dramatic writers (J. Rabémananjara, A. Césaire, W. Soyinka). Secondly, we look at how the Negro-african writers appropriated the ancient model for creating a new literary world of their own- Negro dramatic writers and the ancient models. Lastly we take a look at the study of the structure of tragic texts

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

Full textThis study draws its inspiration from what the French sociologist Michel de Certeau identified as the invention of the quotidian in his well known The Practice of Everyday Life (1980). A close reading and analysis of West African short fiction will allow us to examine how through everyday creative practices and within their own private spheres the represented individuals reestablish a space of agency previously denied to them. The first part of our study will consist in presenting the various conditions of emergence of African short fiction. We will look at the socio-political context and at the role of the short story writer, the publishing industry as well as the reception of African short fiction in Africa and abroad, which will allow us to emphasize the intrinsic link between dignity, agency and development. Secondly, we will focus on the writing of the collective memory of war, trauma and violence and on the numerous creative strategies used by the characters to reaffirm their existence, to fight against violence and to heal from trauma. The final part of this study will examine the stylistic and linguistic strategies used by West African short fiction writers to create a rupture with the colonial literary tradition and to reinvent a new short story genre

Full textSlavery is the chronotope of "Tituba" by M. Condé and "Beloved" by T. Morrison. Slavery is a paradigmatic heritage in other novels by these authors, as well as in Alice Walker's and Gisèle Pineau's art ; it determines the contemporary racial relationships. The splitting up of the slave's body calls to mind the pattern of sewing, narrative weaving, re-membering of the social body, and reinventing a traditionally feminine work. The highlighting of performative power of the master's words reminds us the historicity and the politic aspect of the invention of racism in the plantation system. The example of women's beauty and its racialization illustrates the complicated co-construction of gender and race. The writing of past history of slavery points out and explains the present time, but it requires a painful fight against various processes of individual and collective repression. "Beloved" and "The Color Purple" remind us of the importance of rememory, while "Paradise", "Morne Câpresse" and "Heremakhonon" tell about memory in excess. The criticism of historian claim for objectivity belongs to a global questioning of science on the one hand, and of the heritage of Enlightenment on the other. The ambivalences of postmemory confront the contemporary sacralization of memorial and testimonial literature. Postcolonial haunting is seen in a nex light, quite ironic. The analysis of dialectic motherhood in "Beloved", "Tituba" or "Rosie Carpe" allows us to conceptualise the link between national storytelling, racialization of motherhood and political control of women's bodies. Reading and analysing the novels with the concept of intersectionality shows a global deconstruction of womanhood, freed from the stress of reproductive sexuality. At the crossroad of women's power to give birth and death, the midwife is a recurring character. The midwife is often accused of being a witch, and she belongs to a feminine mythology that can turn the stigma around. The witch is born from rivalry in both religious and medical fields. In Toni Morrison's, Maryse Condé's or Marie Ndiaye's novels, the witch is an intercultural invention ; her parodic and performative strength undermines literary categories. Born from the trauma of slavery, the novels outline the pattern of concrete utopias. The totalitarian and separatist aspect of these utopias appears in the grinning face of the contemporary eschatological hope: the sect. Therefore any hope of a better future seems to be ridiculous ; when the return to a primary space, turning back in time, is dying in the impossible way back to Africa. The "Négritude" of Aimé Césaire is dismissed, and so are the hopes of "Créolité", by a literature that rejects post-racial utopia. There is not any idealization of movement in these novels, which tell contemporary migrations and pains of exile condition. Although the narrative strategies are different, they all intend to expose and overcome the color line

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

Full textLike most of African and Maghreb novels which are mostly enrolled with the confrontation of colonialism, the texts we have choosen can be read the original perspective that Bertrand Westphal has significantly named "geocritics". These works share an aesthetics of a richness which owes its originality to hybrid origins, between mother or learned tongue and occupant or exile language. This thesis is therefore an opportunity to explore the African space, shaping a panorama of its literary horizon, mainly by studying the particularities of North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa and the relationships that they maintain from the highest Antiquity until today
Zhou, Yana. "Représentations des désidentifications et réélaborations identitaires dans la trilogie africaine de Léonora Miano." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019BOR30009.
Full textLéonora Miano is a "young" but fertile Franco-Cameroonian writer who is already appreciated and recognized by a large-scale public ; she can be considered as a representative among the writers of the postcolonial generation on the African continent. She has published a dozen novels, including two trilogies, one named as african and the other as "afropéenne", many essays and theatres. The African trilogy includes L’Intérieur de la nuit, Plon, 2005 ; Contours du jour qui vient, Plon, 2006 ; Les Aubes écarlates, Plon, 2009 and they are the main corpus of our thesis. The African trilogy is revealing of the socio-cultural questions related to colonization and entry into the postcolonial era, because it describes a panorama of identity questions focused specifically on a fictional Africa but evocative of many real African countries. But these upheavals are too often ignored by the Europeans and by the Africans themselves (at the same time, this distancing and this return to Africa make the work of the Franco-Cameroonian particular). The thesis attempts firstly to contextualize our approach to the trilogy, giving a general overview, especially essential for the Chinese public, on the question of identity, Miano’s course of life (who is still noteless in China), and thematic content of the African trilogy. In the second part, we work on all kinds of representations of African de-identification, around the main causing the crisis of identity: violence (physical violence or psychological violence); their operating systems are analyzed in detail and thematically based on the corpus. In the third part, we deal with the resistance of African protagonists or secondary characters, in front of their identity crises as well as the consequences and perspectives of their attempts to establish a new African identity in the postcolonial era. In all the parts, we take into account the peculiarity of the "mianesque" writing which is not realistic but suggests a parabolic sense, a black world mysterious and tormented, various et typified characters, striking and crucial stories, and making account of a frank and uncompromising vision of contemporary Africa

Full textMohamed Toihiri's novel : a founding and representative novel of the Comorian literature. The analysis confoirms it is a sociological novel to the extent that it is a great novel dealing with the Comorians 'daily life for two centuries (1975-1992). But it would be specific to stop there because this novel not only cleverly shows how the Comorian society works, it is also a radical criticism of this socio-political society and of its government. This novel sbtly includes the reader in its internal functioning. Thus the commentator studied this readers inclusion as well as the novel's reception : while his first novel was given a cold welcom due to its political commitment, his second novel, politically softer, received a positive welcome not to say laudatory

Full textEven though international interconnectedness and globalization evoke the idea of being able to produce and receive knowledge equally all over the world, the maps of knowledge are unevenly distributed on a global scale. My dissertation project analyses this phenomenon by examining the trilateral, multidimensional transfer of African academic literature to Germany and France since the 1950s.The research interest of this project is to determine and organize the entire spectrum of publications from the social sciences and the humanities written by African authors and published in German and French publishing houses. The quantitative analysis on a macro level is based on already existing qualitative studies in the field. The quantitative analysis and the classification of the results give valuable knowledge about continuities and discontinuities in the publication of African academic literature over the span of six decades (1950-2012). The research further examines and elaborates upon geographical, thematic, and temporal profiles of the publishing houses as well as their personal, editorial, and linguistic preferences. By means of collecting, filtering, processing, and visualizing the data, it is possible to find out what kind of “academic Africa” has finally reached the two national book markets. This approach helps to identify new hypotheses and interpretations concerning the circulation of African knowledge in general through the specific example of academic literature from the social sciences and the humanities. Providing important theoretical and practical approaches for this project, the concept of cultural transfers is an established approach for analysing cultural border crossings between countries and regions. The methodological approach combines different methods and, for the data processing, includes examples from the digital humanities to realize an all-embracing reconstruction of the entire transfer process in both a quantitative and qualitative sense

Full textThe subject matter of this thesis is to explore the post-colonial imaginary in four fictional stories of the rainforest. It intends to bring out the colonial foundations of the images the Spanish-speaking authors convey in their works, such as: Canaima, La Voragine, Sangama, as well as the Portuguese -speaking one: Inferno Verde. The theory of the Imaginary by Gilbert Durand and that of the 'decoloniality' ( Dussel, Mignolo, Castro-Gomez, Quijano) are the scientific tools used in this demonstration. The combination of both approaches aims at displaying the colonial nature of the national imaginary which is underlying in the narratives of the forest. After studying the symbolism in the fictions and in the 'Chronicles of the Conquest', this work takes up the analysis of the imaginary in the colonial societies and in the national entities in the making. It will end with the study of the myth of Race which nurtures the imaginary of the fictions and that of society alike. The various discourses, whether they be scientific, literary, anthropological etc. . . Finally appear as many moments of a similar discursive formation: the Great National Story/Narrative

The first part of this thesis aims to examine two types of rewriting: linked to the totality or selecting a story above all. The second part of this study focuses upon what we will call “Shahrazad myth”. Then, the third section seeks to illuminate literary and cultural stakes linked to the Nights' journey between East and West

Full textThrough the approach of sociology of literature, the thesis studies the construction of the literary field in japan at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, and the early career of a japanese writer, nagai kafu (1879-1959) between 1898 and 1919. His early period reveals on the one hand a typical debut of a writer of his generation regarding his literary apprenticeship undertaken through the guidance of a master (teacher), as well as the influences he receives from japanese and western literature. On the other hand, this phase reveals the original journey of a writer who continues to hold an important position in the literary field by constantly renewing his writing. The originality of kafu lies in his ability to create original postures and play different roles vis-à-vis his peers and society: "geijutsuka" (artist according to a western model), "kichosha" (returnee intellectual from abroad) and "gesakusha" (popular writer of the edo period) by inventing new visions from various literary influences, of the past and the present, eastern and western. The works of kafu are characterized by this mixture of heterogeneous elements with regards to themes, styles and representations of the east and the west. This structure of plural images of the west and the east is illustrated in this thesis using the methodology of postcolonial studies. The question of censorship addressed in this study reveals what sort of moral and social limits kafu had to face and how he used this problem to construct and reinforce his posture

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
