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 textAfrican Surrealism requires the question from the influence of French surrealism. Terminology implies, indeed, a link between African writing and the French movement. This link is established by both critics and the dialogues between the two worlds. Senghor encouraged to consider independent part of this surrealism evoking a black negro-african surrealism. We disclaim then behind apparent similarities, differences which reveal a surrealism in the service of understanding the world purely African. African surrealism is an expression of the traditional African perception whose shape is similar to that introduced by the Parisian movement without necessarily had influence

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 textThis thesis analyzes the different representations of failure in some Sub-Saharan French novels written between 1961 and 2000. Rereading L’aventure ambiguë of Cheikh Hamidou Kane, Les Soleils des indépendances and Allah n’est pas obligé of Ahmadou Kourouma, Trop de soleil tue l’amour of Mongo Beti, Murambi, le livre des ossements of Boubacar Boris Diop and La Folie et la Mort of Ken Bugul, it shows, through the characters and their disappointing paths, that failure is a recurrent theme of that period. The various speeches that the personel of the novels holds about failure reveals that the perception of this phenomenon is relative, because what is a failure for some, it is not failure for others : while some characters dismiss the various abuses of warrior, traditional and political power, as well as the deviant behavior of other members of society, others find ways to legitimize and rationalize the evil. Rather than being limited to the simple matter of observation of failure in the novels, the thesis goes beyond and proposes a new hermeneutic of francophone fictions of Africa : it brings out what in the interstices of the novels – and from the novelists – allows to deconstruct and overcome the imaginary of failure. Thus, novelists use certain rhetorical processes such as humor, irony, the play of words, the narrative polyphony to escape the grip of failure. They show that instead of indulging in the “sob of the black man”, the postcolonial subject should re-evaluate his attachment to traditions, make an epistemological break and a cultural adjustment, rely on art as a cathartic means, and act to establish a true democracy. In the end, the thesis is against an Afropessimistic reading of Sub-Saharan francophone novels and invites to consider them as a means that would enable Africans to invent a new rationality, a new way of defining oneself in the face of the world ; in short, a way to hope for a better tomorrow.

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

Full 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 production of novels is growing fastly today in black africa than ever. But this is mainly due to the fact that the ackward political regimes and the uneffective social institutions are degenerating into crisis, crisis that were to expect as nobody nowhere is able to stand evil all the time. It appears therefore that nowadays literary creation in africa depends above all on the feeling of disgust and disappointment. In all evidence, one would have expected a new way of life through the political self-reliance that all the africans longed for very eagerly during years of colonization of the continent by some western countries. Today, the people seem to be enslaved than before and the moralists are struggling for the establishment of a new social and economical policy more suitable to the moral, material and intellectual blowing of the black african people. The novelists tendency is to believe that the failure of our morality explains or justifies the failure of most of the development projects in our countries. Many of them believe that the future of our continent depends on the way moral problems are going to be solved. They try to call the attention of every true african on this reality. That no evolution is possible without a deep reshaping of our mentality. Africans have to fight corruption, nepotism. . . , all the evils that actually prevent our society to get to its real dimension. The stylistic devices that they use serve that purpose and in a very revolutionary way. The structures of the novels too. But unfortunately they are very few those who read those novels and this for many reasons. The african novelists should any way rely on the perspicacity of the cultural authorities as to obtain that their works be associated with other means of communication of thought such as television for example
Bright, Dennis R. A. "L'image de l'intellectuel dans le roman african d'expression française." Bordeaux 3, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987BOR30064.
Full textThe most striking feature of the portrait of the intellectual in french-speaking african fiction is the high tone of misery with which he is credited. He appears as a solitary individual, violently separated from his people and culture but unable to adopt the bulk of western values. He cuts the figure of a "cultural monster", a product of an incomplete metamorphosis. In the post-colonial novel, he is still presented as a lonely figure though faced now with a new set of problems; a moral gulf separates him from the corrupt ruling class while his cultural and intellectual transformation weakens his bonds with his people. Though his efforts to correct the situation generally fail he is usually presented by the novelists as a man of justice, truth and goodwill. In the francophone novel in general, the intellectual appears entangled in a plethora of myths suchas a) the assimilation myth, which presents him as the victim of a colonial conspiracy, b) the messianic myth by which he appears as the liberator chosen by destiny, c) the education myth or the absolute trust in western education and the talisman of degrees, and d) the literary myth : the intellectual as a hero of the novel matures into a literary myth by virtue of the frequency with which he appears and the symbolic role he seems to play in the literature of committment

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 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 textOur subject stems from a keen interest in the question of the link between literature and history. We seek to know how French literary writing satirizes events that have enamelled the course of the History of Francophone Africa. Next, the title of our work expresses our concern for French literature portraying or evoking Francophone Africa. We focus on the way some French writers satirize French-speaking Africa through texts that use mimesis. As a result, particular attention was given to the various indices (space, time, characters, aesthetics) of representation of French-speaking Africa in the French novel, and to the history of French-speaking Africa in the postcolonial French novel. The analysis of space and characters was anchored by the different representation figures of French-speaking Africa, present in some contemporary French novels. As for the one that deals with time, it was based on the analysis of the narrative time, the narrativity, the narrator's play. Our research hypotheses are as follows: the play and character of the characters, the description of space and time, in the French novel on Africa, are they symptomatic of French-speaking Africa? How does the style inherited by South American writers contribute to the representation of Francophone postcolonial Africa? What is the role of figures of speech in the narrative process? Do contemporary French authors, despite their efforts to distance themselves from the views, mentalities and ideologies of the colonial era, not convey?
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 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 study of the media coverage of the black African novel in France reveals three distinct phases. In the 1950s, metropolitan journalists were full of enthusiasm for the first francophone African novelists, because they embodied - in the journalists’ eyes - the success of the French colonial “civilising mission”. This interest waned following the independences, around 1960, at the time when the Algerian war was in its final phases. Over a period of 20 years the African novel suffered from a lack of visibility in the French media. It became the preserve of a limited circle of connoisseurs. The year 1980 marked a turning point however: in this year the famous television programme Apostrophes turned the spotlight on « l’Afrique noire racontée par des romanciers » (“Black Africa as recounted by novelists”). Henceforth the literary works of this continent enjoyed renewed attention, which reached its apogee in the following decade. In 2003, the Togolese writer Kossi Efoui spoke enthusiastically of this “boom time for African writers” in the magazine Jeune Afrique. Was this a myth or reality? This thesis seeks to explore, first, the conditions of the literary production in Africa - both its creation and publication in France and sub-Saharan Africa - and second, its reception in the French printed press, on the radio and television. This cultural history sheds light on a major phenomenon of the second half of the 20th century: the progressive introduction of the cult of the celebrity in the cultural industries (the book and media notably) and its repercussions for the practices of the professions concerned, in other words writers, publishers, PR agents, literary critics and journalists

Full textIn this thesis, we stand a very fruitful idea: the concept, which is the « engine » of philosophical abstraction, no longer allows to shed light on the issue of philosophical debate in black Africa. However, this issue, though veiled by the flatness of the philosophical concept functions within what we called «the phenomenon of cultural conflicts of». To mount the validity of our thesis, we favored a simple method that uses two black African novels (Cheikh H. Kane’s L’aventure ambiguë and V. Y. Mudimbe’s Entre les eaux) to illuminate cultural conflicts in black Africa. It has been shown that the "clash of cultures" was synonymous with "intellectual conflict" for the black African philosopher. By analyzing the discourse of the African philosopher, whose style refuses failures and hesitations, it became clear that he had to escape the pitfalls of this discourse to find for himself an "outside", able to enlighten. The above two novels, that we have systematically analyzed in the first part, helped to deconstruct the discourse of the African philosopher, and finally made us see the symbolic contradictions of "philosophizing in Black Africa".The second part of this thesis tries to think of Africans within a world that keeps changing ; that is, in a word, trying to admit the African Negro in a story that restores to the positive utopia all its meaning. In this respect, the crossing of Bidima reintroduces, in the discursive practice in black Africa, the very possbility of refusing identity assignments and blissful substantialismes: Black Africa is not a frozen continent ; it is rather inscribed in a time that brings ever new things

Full textIn reading the stories of Bernanos, Gide, Achebe incorporated in our corpus, it emerges that religious imagery offers a composite picture. Based upon a set of representations, religion indeed varies according to the times and society. Though viewing the divine as an influential entity, religion implies beliefs and local theogonies. In fact, divinity doesn’t influence religious belonging for no much more than there is not religion without society, there isn’t society without religion: an atheist society undoubtedly would be a godless society but it wouldn’t mean a society devoid of religion or belief. It is worth noting that in these texts the mere mention of religion poses an existential problem beyond any fervor it is likely to stand for. More than a relationship between the divine and the human, it’s about the advent of man’s evolving conscience in a universe where bonds which have always created the collective unity tend to untie. In other words, religion is meant to be a set of values by which human behaviors are inspired. It is in fighting against such a prescription that some discomfort came to be among most characters in some novels. As a result, the observation both stunning and unsatisfactory provided by the image of a universe caught up in the turmoil of societal demands stems from the approach of religion. In view of fictions, it turns out that the nature of the sacred stirs and moves throughout all peoples but also fades away more than it shows off, leads astray more than it takes root. Though leaned to the landmark of faith, the human being is more and more subjugated by vertigo. This uneasiness becomes universal because religion is a collectively-lived phenomenon. In other words, the texts unveil human being’s drift in his struggling against evil. But more than a fight against the others, it’s rather a bitter struggle against oneself in order to be reborn to the first splendor. It is obvious that the universe of stories is peopled by individuals whose voices bear the echo of the divine. A perpetual cohabitation between good and evil, this is how the human condition is established and so depicted in the novels. For what may reveal the diary of a priest bearing the arrow of god and striving against demons except that it is the symphony of an ambiguous adventure, if not a perilous one

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

Full textThis thesis offers from a litterary history perspective the factors that contributed to the evolution of a type: the french language african novel. In the french language litteratures, its originality has perseveringly been enforced as a result of a new type intertextual work: codes belonging to the oral litterature sphere have been grafted upon classical romantic writing codes. This cross-breeding lead to an innovation writing. After having situated this type of novel in his cultural field, within its expectation horizon perspective, we have analysed the different oral litterature grafts, each element that was considered as a "gap" from the point of view of the french writing rules. Then we have gone into the properly so-called intertextual work, in order to clear up text production and its stakes. This time, the codes cross-breeding and the process by which the writing absorbs and transforms the oral statements fragments have been emphasized. "translation" has a well been put into evidence as an aspect particularly important concerning intertextuality: in the accurate case of the french language african novel, we deal, in fact, with the insertion of statements originating from the traditional oral civilization into a language and a style introduced from europe. The analysis has revealed that it does never mean a simple transfert of signification from the source language to the target language, but the matter is about transpositions and creations. It is this transposition that make possible unprecedented cross-breedings, the creation of what has been called the "bi-language" by a. Khatibi

Full textThis dissertation aims to demonstrate not only how African novelists in 1980-1990 promoted the image of the new African woman by continuing the feminist demands of their predecessors, but also, and foremost, to describe the pattern of their discourse, which was characterized predominantly by aesthetics of subversion of linguistic norms. This linguistic defiance mirrors their fight to invent the New African Woman, who throws off the shackles of tradition and opens herself up to universality. The corpus is composed primarily of autobiographical novelistic works by three writers who represent two geocultural macrospaces: the sub-Saharan Africa of C. Beyala and Ken Bugul, and the Maghreb of Malika Mokeddem. This study seeks, drawing on the linguistics of discourse as initiated by H. Weinrich and enriched by J. -M. Adam, D. Maingueneau, and A. Viala, to present how these creative female artists reconcile the feminine problem with the challenge of African development in such a way as to expeditiously contribute to new visibility for African literature. Transversal reading thus reveals a new place for the African woman, who is embodied in the creative space by the new woman writer participating in sociopolitical and cultural battles in order to advance a society in evolution into a promising future. The hypothesis of over-reading women’s literary works as the monotonous expression of the feminine condition is supported; the dissertation contributes, in particular, to a rehabilitation of feminine literature that has been undermined by criticism that has limited itself solely to descriptive and thematic aspects

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to re-question and to rethink the notion of referent, in the light of its linguistic, semantic and semiotic conception. It is a question of seeing how the point of view is inserted across these different currents and epistemological models to make easier the processes of intelligibility of significant practices. From there, we propose the concept of referential point of view, which makes it possible to solve many dichotomies maintained in the language sciences on the relation signify/signified, subject/object, simulacra/reality, etc. It then allows to show that the different discreet and dual links which are tied between these binary poles can be also articulated according to the uninterrupted and duals categories. Based on some african novels of french expression, we show on cases the necessity of the need for a taking into account of the sociocultural referent, governed and regulated by the point of view, but who must meet the requirements of coherence and pertinence in its turn, all points of view not making sense always

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 topic of immigration has inspired an explosion of novels in Francophone Literature. They usually lean on the twenty-first century’s mobility of people and technologies in order to fictionalize issues related to cosmopolitanism. In the specific context of sub-Saharan African Literature, literary criticism assimilates this corpus to the ‘’Migritude’’, a phenomenon presented as the raising of a new generation of African writers in contemporary France. The writer’s institutional approach also comes to strengthen this perception. Indeed, a mess of them have signed the manifesto of the World Literature in French. Our thesis needs to examine these problems through the Literature Discourse Analysis approach. The primary step is about the reminder of historiography related to postcolonial African travel fictions. Afterwards the reflection seeks to compare those African novels, between the founding and the recent, on the basis of categories such as characters, space and imaginary. With regard to postcolonial theories as well as the narrative phenomenon of intertextuality, this thesis finally consider the emerging of post-colonial African Travel Literature as the rewriting of an archive running across Francophone African travel-writings since the early twenty century. They all question the accessibility of Africa and its diaspora to the Global Culture

Full textThis work is composed of three stages : in the beginning an ensemble of cultural approaches studies the origin, evolution and maturation of the franco-phone novel in west africa from 1854 to 1970. Next the first of two major divisions of the thesis disengages and analyses the different themes found in the west african novel. A synthesis of these themes constitutes the point of departure for the second and last major division of the thesis which studies the significance common to all of the themes that have been discovered, and formulates a general synthesis preceding the conclusion

Full textThe african contemporary writer abandons the writing techniques of his predecessors. He uses all the elements of the text, of the speech, of the character, of the time, of the space, of the story. . . Removing them from any reference to a pre-existing system. The substitution of the concrete for the abstract and the repetition are a sort of definition of things. So the writer faces two difficulties. On the one hand, he has to express the population's revolutionary hopes and make them evercome. He has to convince his reader. And on the other hand, he must find an answer to this question: how can we convey social conflicts in the shape of images, symbols and myths which belong to a definite collective memory and remain at the same time comprehensible by all the readers. The emotional intensity and the affective force which are contained in these images, symbols and myths are more expressive and affective than any other form of communication. From that time, we can't consider the african literature just as a form or as a report. An ethnologique approach is necessary to understand the novel. Thus a new stage of writing requires a new method of reading and interpretation

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

Full textTo determine the existential condition of the intellectual put in scene in the sub-Saharan french-speaking novel, such is the aim of this study.With this intention, we carrie out a development articuled around three axes. Each one of those put forward the question of the malaise wich underlies the representation of the character in the corpus. The first part is relative to the semantic label of the intellectual protagonist. This label depicts a character who distance himself from the majority of characters because of the specificity of his intellectual status. It shows a critical opinion overall depreciating about this status and is the expression of the ambiguity inherent in this one. In the second part, we examine the protagonist and the other characters’s relationships. This analysis illustrates and confirms the antagonisme between the majority of the actors and him. In the third part, we analyze the topics which corroborate the malaise of the intellectual protagonist, revealed throughout the two preceding parts. These topics reveal a character turned towards elsewhere more hospital, an other status, synonymous with wellbeing, and a new life also translating its aspiration with this happiness

Full textOur aim is to show how the african writers have succeded in passing their message into their novels. The first african novels delt with a certain number of themes. Their writing technic remained entirely the same as that of the french or european people. Today the main goal is a better narration which gives to the language thenarration', theuse of characters, the use of space and time, a new orientation. The african critics who are working on the african arts have brought out some methods which favor a better reading. If there is a continuity in the themes linked to the motionless, of the continent, there is therefore a break on the level of the form in the conception of our novel. It is only a trend but once more the particularity of our culture

Full textSince 1930 the space of novel or fiction has become, little by little, an aesthetic modality of representation (not only mimesis, but also imagination), an ethical problem and an ideological theme of textualization of space in french-speaking (black) africa. The stakes and concerns of african topicality have been visualized and have vehicled african history in its development. As a matter of fact, the space of fiction and narration is going to embody or to take the main place of inscription, of endorsement and focalisation of the present problems in africa the space of writing is made into a space of fiction of history. What are the logical connections, the postulates and foundations of this space-time writing, the "hic and nunc" in french-speaking africa ? we shall try to demonstrate how fiction or stody-telling aims at telling and reflecting african reality and how it also becomes a kind of awareness of the necessity of writing, deepening and recovering africa history. It's the hard task of our archaeology

Full textThis research project explores the emerging trends in African francophone literature during the 1990s, resulting from a thematic diversification within the context of recent current events: civil wars, genocide, exile, and questions concerning immigration. To what extent can we speak of an African identity or literary specificity in these new works? Is such a question still relevant? In order to more clearly define the boundaries of this project, we concentrate on literature of the French language and examine the power relations existing between a Parisian “center” and the peripheral “southern countries”. Authors studied in this project are both canonical writers of the African independence era and writers from a new literary tradition

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

Full textIn Maghreb and Black Africa, the father is an unquestionable and indisputable chief. Religion and tradition would give him a crucial function in these patriarchal societies. He has a great sovereignty in front of decisions which concern a member of his family. Driss Chraïbi, Mongo Beti, Rachid Boudjedra and Williams Sassine describe this excessive role of the father, not for glorifying him, like several francophone novelists, but for denouncing his authority. This attitude corresponds to a period where Maghrebian and Black African families are changing, particularly with the decline of the paternal power confronted to the “counter-power” of the son who speaks sometimes in the name of the mother. Then, psychoanalysis helps to read le Passé simple, Mission terminée, la Répudiation, le Jeune homme de sable, which can be considered as family novels showing sons revolt and its logical consequence: the parricide. What meaning we can give to this paternal authority and to these generation gaps without which narrative history don’t exist? How can we read sons revolt and “murder of father” as a youth aspiration of freedom and recognition, as assertiveness and search of identity? These Francophone authors, who represent, sometimes similarly sometimes differently, the conflict father-son through fictions with specific literary forms, have them the same literary project, which is to promote values of equity, of justice, of freedom in familial relations?
