Garnier, Xavier. "La magie dans le roman négro-africain d'expressions anglaise et française." Paris 4, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA040212.
Full textThis work is an analysis of the possible status of the magic in a novel by way of an observation of African novels. The first part, which deals with oral narratives (two tales and two epics), shows the strong link between magic and the enunciation context. Concerning the novel, the magic displays itself in three branches: religion, sorcery and witchcraft which are respectively linked to realism, fantastic and marvelous. The aim of this work is to connect the magic efficiency to the debate on truth of African traditional knowledge upon reality. Novels such as the ones of Tutuola and Sony Labou Tansi don't take consideration of this debate since they don't respect the spatio-temporal representations of our reality and adopt the witchcrafts position which unsettles the coordinates of reality to dive in the heart of the magic universe

Full text"the problematics of independence in the african novel of english expression" analyses the problems posed by the rupture with the west as weil as the ideological and stylistic implications of such a rupture. In the english colonial novel, africa and africans were most of the time painted in a negative way in accordance with the imperialistic ideology of the time. The african novel rejects such a caricature by laying bare the ugly side of the myth of barbarous and backward africa. The images of independent africa show that the colonist has made a sham exit and that the colonised people have not completely freed themselves. Cultural alienation and economic extraversion are still present. A new form of political dependence is also noticeable. On the level of writing, the african novel has made a judicious synthesis between foreign elements linked to the introduction of the genre in africa and aesthetic elements peculiar to traditional african literature

Full textThe creative dynamics of the african novel, be it in english or french, is to be found at the crossroads of the symbols of order and chaos. The social and cultural disintegration of african societies and of the african man are contained in the eternal recurrences symbolised by order and chaos. The violence that characterizesthe african novel is the reflection of our impressions over the beginnings of the universe and of our need to domesticate space and time. It is the very same dynamics of recurrences that explains the circular structure of the african novel

Full textThe thesis raises a series of philosophical, sociological, aesthetic & literary questions. It comprises six chapters, the first of which is like a preliminary explanation based on the time-space framework of African literature & highlighting elements of chronology, language, regionality, nationality & tribality. Chapter 2 opens up broad avenues of black Africa’s social history. Chapter 3 deals with purely documentary but also ideological aspects of a corpus covering a minimum of nearly 50 & a maximum of 120-odd titles of African novels written in English. The last 3 chapters are complementary to the first 3, just as form and content in social sciences are one. Chapter 4 therefore deals with forms as well as it accounts for data & conditions whereby the novel adapts itself to negro-African realities. Chapter 5 revisits chapter 4 and places into proper perspective the issue of origins as it relates to the main influences that are brought to bear on the negro-African novel as a result of the 20th century aesthetic revolution, characterized primarily in Europe, but also in Africa, by a shift in the relationship of the individual man to the world towards the achievement of artistic completeness

Full textIn this study we try to show that the african fits harmoniously in the civilization of mankind. Loneliness which is generally perceived as a concept unknow to africa, appears, through the art of the novel, as an integral reality in the life of the individual. Our analysis can be divided into two parts. Africa of the past and this continually changing africa. The traditional society as a setting, with its insistence on uniformity and its quasi-denial of the individual, constitutes a major problem to the novelist who sets out to write a "realistic piece of work". We have therefore tried to see how the artist does manage to find the balance : through which devices does he happen to respect both the exigencies of his art (characterization) and those of the setting of his story. This is the reason why we have put a particular emphasis on the various techniques of character creation. In this context how can we talk of solitude ? how can a person be alone and why ? in the second part, "africa on the move", the context has changed. New forms of solitude appear with phenomena like the city, imported myths, social pressures etc. They are analysed through techniques used by the novelists. The theme of solitude is also dealt with in relation to the social vision of the novelist. What lessons are to be drawn from the failures of various characters ? is there incompatibility between the group and the individual ? here the functional aspect of african literature comes into consideration. Solidarity seems to be the main goal : recognition of the other within the group

Paris 12, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA120001.
Full textThis thesis turns mainly round the theme of social environment and literary creation. Our interest was to study the literary works mainly at three levels, namely : at the levels of causes and consequences of the duality of the way of life which governs the contemporary african society and at the level of narratology. The study of the first encounter between africans and europeans and the infiltration of the african society by the cultural values of the western society through the new school and the church shows similarity between fiction and reality. The social environment plays the role of a catalyst concerning the imagination of each novelist. The study of the problem of the political power reveals the new leaders' individualistic behaviour in the negative sens. Their insatiable craving for power and richness makes them brutal towards their fellow countrymen. The other major preoccupation of the novelists centres around the economic, linguistic and socio-cultural consequences brought about by the duality of the way of life. And if the novelists have as common denominator the borrowing of constructing materials from the social environment, the study has shown that each novelist has his own way of using these materials. It is especially the study of narratology which has revealed the particularity of each novelist's literary practice. In short, each novelist has his own way of creating a literary work

Full textThe advent of a democratic South Africa released fiction from topics imposed by the emergency and, making possible –or necessary– the end of an allegiance to politics, opened the way for innovative prospects in the scope of novel writing in english, a gap first occupied, especially in terms of aesthetics, by the quest for new forms suitable for an emergent multiple national identity. This study goes into the conditions of an original interaction between literature and nation in a way that takes into consideration the editorial dimensions that play an indirect role in literary creation. The case of Kwela, a small publishing house founded in Cape Town in 1994, in a market that was rather, until then, occupied by alternative publishers, makes possible a thorough analysis in the sense that the publisher remains stable through a decade during which national publishing goes through major structural adjustments. The novels published by Kwela through a period that covers the first two five-year terms of the young democracy are put side by side with those published by multinational publishers or their subsidiaries, paying particular attention to the specificity of their respective innovations in order to discover the trends to which they belong. The issues explored by the novel in english are more or less directly organized around the effects of the multi-facetted nation building of South Africa, in a variety of different modes but with a common dynamic based on the exploration of a changing South-African identity, the formal paradox of the asserted national unity and the acknowledged but complex diversity of its components. For the most part, the South-African novel in english of this decade seems to find the main source of its creativity in that dynamic, in terms of aesthetics but also in its view of history and its grasp of contemporary South Africa

Full textThe central tenet of this essay is that chinua achebe's novels are closely related to human condition. Achebe shows us the breakdown of important social institutions which was already beginning in the traditional society at a critical moment in history. The confrontation between the old order and western ways of life which occured shortly before the close of the nineteenth century forced drastic changes in the social patterns of nigerian rural life. The oppression brought about through the imposition of an outside culture was very severe. The white missionaries and colonialists had tended to deny the colonized not only a history and a cultural heritage, but also human dignity. Achebe reveals the complexity of his traditional culture so as to destroy such over-simplified arguments. But achebe realized that the oppression of his people went on after the end of the british occupation. Political changes caused painful social and psychological adjustements. The gap widens between the possessed and the large majority of the citizens. So the novelist pleads for a new society. He urges his fellow countrymen to build up a better world. He proposes a special view of life, a new attitude of generosity before suffering, poverty and oppression. In recreating the tribal past of his people and in presenting contemporary scene, chinua achebe refrains from offering simplistic solutions. The characters depicted in the novels are subject to human weakness and mistakes as human beings have always been. Though the nigerian novelist seems to paint a picture of despair and anguish, he is nevertheless implying the hope of human possibility. In a word, he celebrates human life
Oloruntoba, Ifeoluwa. "Représentation de l’autre : les paratextes des œuvres nigérianes traduites en français." Thesis, Orléans, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019ORLE3017.
Full textResearch on the translation of Nigerian literary texts written in English, and even other African texts, has demonstrated that the cultural specificity of the texts is often retained when they are translated into European languages in order to preserve their local colour. This thesis adds to the scholarship by examining the elements that surround the texts. It explores the paratexts (layouts, titles, cover images, blurbs, synopses and prefaces) of Nigerian novels written in English and translated into French from 1953 to 2013 to determine how the novels are presented to the target audience, in other words, how the French audience is envisaged to receive the works. The hypothesis of the thesis is that the images of Nigeria influenced the presentation and promotion of the novels.The framework of descriptive translation studies was applied. Different perceptions of Nigeria were defined. Afterwards, the paratexts of the source and target novels were extracted and compared in order to find recurrent patterns in the target paratexts and to establish if there were references to Nigerian images in the paratexts.The findings of the research revealed that, like the translation of Nigerian (African) works in which the cultural specificity is preserved in the target texts, the cultural specificity of the works is also retained in the target-text paratexts, and it indicates that the novels are construed as narrative documentation of Nigerian culture and values. The works are marketed for their exoticism, which is emphasised in the paratexts. Furthermore, the images of Nigeria in France did not only shape the construal and marketing of the novels but also played a role in the selection of the works for translation.The presentation and promotion of these novels as documentation of Nigerian culture and values reinforce the negative images of Nigeria. It downplays the aesthetic qualities of the novels and can prevent a reader from engaging with Nigerian works from a different standpoint

Full textThe study of cultural hybridity in literature remained tied to a theory which defines postcolonial literatures in terms of their oppositional relationship with the West. In this thesis, we attempted to go beyond the “writing back to the center”. We have not ignored the debate over standard criticism but we have chosen to demonstrate by means of this comparative study that the African novel is part of a larger fictional universe. By appropriating the techniques of the Victorian literary tradition associated with Thomas Hardy and Joseph Conrad, African writers create a useful device for developing greater understanding and improved communication among people from different cultural, racial and ethnic groups. We found striking similarities between the Scottish clan and the African tribe in terms of social organisation and way of life. Like Scott and Hardy, Ngugi and Achebe draw the substance of their novels from the folklore and popular traditions of their communities. African and Victorian novelists have a clear awareness of the human predicament and show how fate can be cruel to the individual
Pedersen, Chanette. "Roman et société dans l’œuvre romanesque de Nadine Gordimer." Nice, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005NICE2029.
Full textIn the thirteen novels of Nadine Gordimer, the social and sexual lives of the characters are, in general, closely related to the politics of apartheid. Thus, in the first part of this doctoral thesis, the human relations within the family are analysed; new kinds of family relations and the rejection of the old values, are some of the observations one can make. The following subject is that of sexuality. The position of Nadine Gordimer on issues such as feminism and homosexuality are dealt with. A third part concerns racism and its crucial role in a regime like that of apartheid. Racism strives for racial segregation and pretends that one group of humans is superior to the others because of its colour. Thus, the next part undertakes to overview the categorisation of humans in the South African society. A final part analyses the influence of this system of apartheid on the very construction of the notion of space in the novels
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 textIn this study we exert ourselves to show the specificities of Negro-African French speaking post-independence novel and to stress the fact that these one take part in the drawing up of a aesthetic indeed plural aesthetics which belong to it. In this point of view, it is necessary to mention progressive and perpetual emancipation process of African novel towards European novel and the sketch of narrative identity enough original. The emancipation of Negro-African novel with regard to European novel means the Latino-American character that it take. Moreover, we can add incontestably a systematic anchoring in African oral tradition. As for the advance of our reflection, this thesis is organized in three greater and essential parts which indicate each one the important moments of our searches. The different volets of our labours refer to linguistic aspects of Negro-African novel, to the narration with for corollary particulary use of space and of the time done for African people, to imaginary in the Negro-African novel and lastly to thematic springtide of African literature

Full textIn this work our purpose was three folds : we have defined the concept of realism in the novel; we have examined the artistical expression of such a concept in the african novel from a historical point of view; we have investigated the specific ways african novelists resort to realism. What have been the results of this investigation? in the first part devoted to the genesis of the african novel, to its conditions of emergence and to its evolution, we noticed that the african novel of the colonial ere was at the beginning, a committed art. For the african novelist, commitment had turned into a pure orthodoxy. But "literary" orthodoxy, whatever it is, jeopardizes the work. So, when african countries atteined independance, the novelists urged to explore new matters so that they could endow novel with a new direction an original style. Then, in the second part, we studied the literary project of african novelists. As regards titles and prefaces we showed that most of them testify in favour of realistic principles; for what is art and escape beneath other skies, for black novelists turns into the need of transcribrig reality faithfully; art becoming technical and documentary evidence is not end in itself. Verisimilitude and verifiable have also been analysed: the belong to the esthetics of realism. In the third part, we dealt with spatio temporalrealism and with characters. In order to grasp the import of the messages we not only worked on the structures of the discursive level, we also focused our attention upon the situational context. We now reach the main issue: what specific use african novelists make of realism? first, we were interested in strictly african oral techniques; then we studied how african novelists resort to

Full textWhen Helen Fielding published Bridget Jones’s Diary in the middle of the 1990s, she gave birth to a new kind of romantic fiction written for women (chick-lit) and men (lad-lit). The difference with formulaic novels such as Mills and Boon, lies in the narration, characterisation and themes related to our times and society, that no romance writer had dealt with so far. The plots focus on men and women's every day lives. The thesis analyses the specificities of chick-lit regarding its narration and themes, the links with women’s fiction from earlier generations and the genre as well as its influence on mainstream novels

Full textThe question of the modernity is trebly essential in the French-speaking African literature : -at first, it engages in a dialectic of interrogation of te time and the space, that they are historic or anthropological to loosen the sense of the notion - then, joining an epistemological perspective which allows to arrest the aesthetics of the forms of expression of the orality or the oraliture, the modernity inserts the African romantic speech into the register of the elements of mediation which authorizes the reading of the literary fact as a carrier phenomenon of the values of aesthetics - finally, the modernity invites to question the identity of the narrator, what Paul Ricoeur calls "the narrative identity". By opening in several interpretations, it incites the reader to re-configure the segments of speech to seize the identity of the characters by confronting them to that of the writer

Full textIndian English novelists frequently call attention, within their fiction, to the relation of otherness that links them to the language of their creative work. These authors write in a language inherited from the colonial process, and with a heterogeneous audience in view, whose references are further complicated by the contemporary phenomena of diaspora, migration and globalisation. This is why these novelists place at the heart of their literary creation the deeply intertwined questions of the Other's tongue, and of the other tongue. The question of the « other tongue » in the Indian English novel has given rise to several critical studies, but it has practically never been examined from the point of view of its poetic specificity: this is precisely what this work sets out to do. Indian English fiction examines the modalities of literary creation: in particular, it investigates the way in which literature invents language, and it explores the idea of literature as alterity at work within language

Full textThe study of space in novels from french-speaking africa between 1970 and 1990 affords a clearer perception of the evolution and specificity of this literary output through reference to a vast and diversified literary corpus. The first part looks at the relationships between space, action and narration. These reveal in particular the profound instability of the characters whose story is often organized around the traditional opposition between town and village, the movement between the two being a sign of a deep-rooted malaise, an impossibility to adapt in a world in crisis where all identificatory bearings are shifting or have disappeared. The status of the narrator is another sign of this problem of identity. The second part analyses the relations between space and society. It shows how far political demonstration remains central to the novel, determining the status of the characters, the events related, the places described, etc. As the african novelist sees his task as the denounciation of the scourges besetting the continent, all spatial representation tends to be limited to this problem. One of the most striking symptoms of this is the omnipresence of carceral space in these texts. A third part, inspired by the works of g. Bachelard and g. Durand attempts to bring to light the recurring imaginary structures which emerge from the works. Although some symbolical patterns demonstrate a certain faith in existence, a positive sense of rootedness in the native soil, pessimistic images and symbols prevail. The world portrayed seems most often destined to slow decomposition, condemned to sterility and inexorable decline. The writing evokes images of infected water, destructive fire, mineral erosion, seething animal life, excrements, mud, bottomless pits, chaos, etc. , depicting a universe labouring under an implacable curse

Full textThe production of nigerian novels written in english from 1958 to 1988 which is analysed in this study, is able to significantly "refract" or "pick up" the nigerian socio-political realities. Indeed the sociocritical approach applied to the reading of the "first and second generation novels" highlights the development of corruption and the ethnic selfishness that the main political forces known as "the big three" stemming from the three main cultures (igbo, hausa and yoruba) are using in order to monopolize the federal power. The nigerian first and second generation novelists are respectively of the "elitist" and "semipopular" tendencies. But whatever their literary tendency, by creating "discrepancies", imagining "better places where to live" and proposing "small-scale models of societies" in their novels, they are all trying, following wole soyinka (whose writing sums up both tendencies), to lay the foundations of mutual understanding between different nigerian cultures which are ignoring or hating one another, hoping to achieve the national integration
Karangira, Alexis. "Le roman zaïrois de langue française." Paris 12, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA120041.
Full textThe zairean literary works in french language owe their origin to the combined efforts of five principal factors : the introduction of french in the educational system of the belgian congo, the establishment of public libraries in the colony, the creation of socio-cultural circles with literary competition for the educated natives, the admission of blacks to press writings and finally, the alteration of the colonial literary works by the replacement of their approach to african realities. During the colonial period, the congolese narrative literature was marked by the works of paul lomami-tshibamba, one of the rare belgian congo writers to describe the awful change of the traditional african societies in contact with western civilisation. The extensive work of the traditional novelist exploits the relationship, established by the african mythology, between the visible world and the supernatural forces. Particularly inspired by the myth founders, inspired by the myth fonders, the authors magnified the greatness of traditional african civilisation with an effort to put its values in the modern world. Presently, the remarkable stride in the production of zairean literary works points in two directions : the intellectual writers who question the coming of the west into africa and the realist writers that challenge and condemn the bad management of public affaires by post-independent african leaders. Having attained maturity and autonomy in the mastery of writing, the zairean literary works now look forward to a nationwide spread. Their future is remarkably tied to that of francophony in africa

Full textThe socio-linguistic conditions of black africa are summarized together with the ideological positions connected with linguistic problems. This background is used with a view to defining the concrete problems posed in the use of french in the african novel. The corpus is composed of five works : une vie de boy by ferdinand oyono, les bouts de bois de dieu by sembene ousmane, les soleils des independances by ahmadou kourouma, le pleurer-rire by henri lopes and les sept solitudes de lorsa lopez by sony labou tansi. The aim of the study is to take account of the way the french language is treated in each novel. Analyses based on a structural linguistic approach demonstrate various ways in which african languages are present in the french text, underlining stylistic effects and particular narratological choices. Thematic studies also help to bring into relief the various representations of the languages in the diegesis. Finally, the argument is widened to include the psychological and institutionnal implications of writing in french, as the quest for identity and linguistic choices are often linked in modern literature

Full textAfrican novel writing in french twenty years ago is producing an ugly and very disguting image about african society. Here, the uglyness is affecting barbarous dictators'monstrous dealings. In our doctorate'thesis, we'll look for to understand the reasons of uglyness' emergency. Then we'll examine after the uglyness'emergency in the novels of our jur ling corpus. We found uglyness'reasons in black africa'traditions and story. Our two firsts chapters're studying novels who denounce the uglyness. The chater number three is affecting novels where to laugh at uglyness. Hilarity's introducing could surprise in these novels but we'll show that this hilarity mingled with bitterness like in a carnival

Full textAmis and Amiloun is an excellent example of a Middle English romance of friendship during the first half of the 14th century. The thesis is divided into three sections: historic, thematic and literary. The origin of the romance is considered in relation to the Latin, Anglo-Norman and French texts. The themes encompass correspondences and oppositions due to the fact that the main characters are twins. The literary aspect proves the originality of the Middle English author and his structural skill

Full textThe negro-african fiction literature has mainly focussed on successive violences that have agitated the African continent. For instance, the apartheid that is mostly cited in South African literature works; the Mau-Mau upheaval in Kenya and the liberation wars in Mozambique and in Angola have generated a literature of fight; secession wars in Nigeria as well as political conflicts in Sudan, Tchad, Liberia, Sierra Leona, Congo, etc. Have been a good starting point of an important novel production. However, there is a belief that the misery is a consequence of the violence; that is also a common denominator of a big number of literature fictions. Can massacres that happened in Rwanda during the 1994 genocide be placed in that violence roundabout? Among writers invited by Fest’Africa for “Writing for memory purposes” are B. B. Diop, K. Lamko and T. Monénembo whose literature works are Murambi le livre des ossements, La Phalène des collines and L’Aîné des orphelins respectively, are particularly interesting in both language and style. Sociocultural and linguistic observations drawn from the Rwandan context offer a new image of the African literature. The onomastics, xenism and oral characteristics related to Kinyarwanda are among elements that portray the local color tied to the African Great Lakes region. Neologisms, polysemisation in written texts, the renewal of common expressions, etc. As well as new exaggerating comparisons are all ingredients of story-telling novels whose topic doesn’t allow stylistic aesthetics. Netheverless, allusions to the Holocaust are a proof that those fictions are inspired by the Shoah literature and bring writers to make close comparisons between two genocides separated by a half century
Dah, Perpétue Blandine. "Héros et quête identitaire dans le roman africain subsaharien francophone." Thesis, Paris Est, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PEST0004.
Full textThe issue of identity is an issue that is topical both constant and evolving as it traverses the history of man. It appears as a major concern in today's world and thus of the African society of today. Recurring theme of sub-saharan African literature in french, through characters torn, suffering from psychological conflicts or crises of identity, it motivates this study who wants to do an investigation on the issue of identy in five African novels. It aims to highlight its literariness and therefore identify issues both semantic and aesthetic at work. Thus, it shows how the organization of strata enunciative that structure works reflect the identity of why battered of how the bruise spreads and lives and strategies for recovery of identity. Organized into three parts, one revealed by analysis immanent, the unveiling of the vacillations of identity from the narrative construction of heroes. S'en follow the narrative course content axiological contradictory, reflecting the d iscrepancies of their Being. The second part refers to a disorientation of the characters in space, base their search for identity. The last axis, with the help of social psychology highlights strategies winbacks identity made by the protagonists. However the search for identity ends in a stalemate because the existential question remains. Total, enrollment of discursive identity invests the text in both content and form and can be read in a singularity in language, itself in search of definition and empowerment. This writing in mutation is typical of many French novels
