Postures Féminines Dans L’Oeuvre De Calixthe Beyala, Carmen Husti-Laboye Dec 2010

Postures Féminines Dans L’Oeuvre De Calixthe Beyala, Carmen Husti-Laboye

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

The aim of this paper is to analyze, through the example of the feminist positions proposed by Calixthe Beyala in the novels she wrote between 1987 and 2007, the change of the novelist’s ideological and artistic perspective. It emphasizes the progressive loss of critical voice to the advantage of a new voice wishing to understand itself as individuality in its world. This study reveals the novelist’s contribution to the construction of a new position of the individual in the context of French social and cultural life.


Dévirilisation De Personnages Et Humanisme Chez Calixthe Beyala, A. Mia Elise Adjoumani Dec 2010

Dévirilisation De Personnages Et Humanisme Chez Calixthe Beyala, A. Mia Elise Adjoumani

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This article shows how Beyala questions the traditional status of the male figure by the emphasis of an emasculate male type. This last one does not illustrate the feminists ideals attributed to the author. He is rather placed in the center of humanists questions relegated into the background by his counterparts for the profit of their “androcentriques” concerns. Beyala so creates a man symbolically close to the androgyne who reveals her inhalation to a world managed in a egalitarian way by the man and the woman because of the human nature of the stakes to be defended.


De Stock À Albin Michel : Beyala Et L’Édition, Bernard De Meyer Dec 2010

De Stock À Albin Michel : Beyala Et L’Édition, Bernard De Meyer

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Beyala has remained faithful to the publisher Albin Michel for her fictional work since the publication of Le petit prince de Belleville in 1992, but her four fi rst novels had three different publishers. A study of her relationship with the publishing world during this period shows her desire for recognition on the Parisian literary scene, which was ready to take up the challenge by publishing the novel of an unknown African woman writer. A careful analysis of paratextual elements, in particular the titrology, and of the contents of the novels reveals that Calixthe Beyala enters into a direct conversation …


Féminitude Et Négritude : Discours De Genre Et Discours Culturel Dans L’Oeuvre De Calixthe Beyala, Christina Angelfors Dec 2010

Féminitude Et Négritude : Discours De Genre Et Discours Culturel Dans L’Oeuvre De Calixthe Beyala, Christina Angelfors

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This article examines how Calixthe Beyala, by using two key concepts, féminitude and négritude, engages in a dialogue with different European or Occidental feminist movements on the one side and the myths and traditions of the African continent on the other side. She addresses, one could say, Simone de Beauvoir’s question, “What is a women?”, as well as the question asked by the négritude writers, “What is a negro?”. The analysis of the opposition between the universal and the particular will show the complexity of the question of identity in Calixthe Beyala’s work.

Angoisse, Misanthropie Et Violences Policières Chez San-Antonio, Pierre Verdaguer

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This paper analyses the violence as a fundamental component for the detective novel’s gender. it is pertinent to study how the nature and the function of this component influence the composition of the detective novel, to understand the pleasure linked to those readings. san-antonio’s novels will be used to show how the wordplays hide a deep existential anxiety.


Roland Brival Et Le Métissage:Un Nouvel Humanisme, Yolande Aline Helm Jun 2010

Roland Brival Et Le Métissage:Un Nouvel Humanisme, Yolande Aline Helm

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

the article focalizes on roland Brival’s conception of “métissage” in his fiction texts:for him, it is synonymous to a new “humanism”. i revisit the theories which have permeate French caribbean literature (negritude, creolity, creolization). they are not synonymous of “métissage”; in fact, Brival’s vision is apart from the “creolity” movement.

It's just one of those things that sometimes happens to me: I'll find myself walking by a playground, or I'll be walking through the mall, and I'll see a little girl about eleven or so, and that's when my mind takes on a life of its own.
