The Representation Of The Darker Faustian Elements Of The Walpurgisnacht And Mephistopheles In Heavy Metal And Rock Music, Edgar Dan Hornback
The Representation Of The Darker Faustian Elements Of The Walpurgisnacht And Mephistopheles In Heavy Metal And Rock Music, Edgar Dan Hornback
Foreign Languages & Literatures ETDs
There has been an association between the Faust drama and music which has endured for centuries. It is a tradition which is also influential during the present in rock music. The main characteristic of rock music and heavy metal is to reflect life in a realistic and an unapologetic manner in its lyrical content. Therefore, the combining of the drama with rock music is a natural and logical progression. The Walpurgisnacht and the character of Mephistopheles from the drama have been the vehicles to reflect the difficulties of modern life. The entire drama has also been adapted and set in …
Jeux De Miroirs : Kourouma L'Interprete?, Justin K. Bisanswa
Jeux De Miroirs : Kourouma L'Interprete?, Justin K. Bisanswa
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Critics have often tended to show how Ahmadou Kourouma has expressed the disillusionment of the African "suns of the independences," ''tropicalized" the French language by bending its syntax to fit that of Malinke, and produced novels for "occidental importation" on the basis of oral texts. From a standpoint of sociopragmatics, in contradistinction, I would like to detail the internal specificity of Kourouma's fictional text by its means of production by analyzing it with respect to its cycle of production in terms of strategies, the writer's itinerary, its placement at the center of the literary field, etc. In addition, I will …
L'Espace Scriptural Chez Kourouma Ou La Tragicomédie Du Roman, Jean Ouédraogo
L'Espace Scriptural Chez Kourouma Ou La Tragicomédie Du Roman, Jean Ouédraogo
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Ahmadou Koruouma's fiction transcends the traditional limits of the novelistic genre. This explains, in part, the irritation of both the French and the African establishments following the appearance of his first novel, Les soleils des independances, in which both writing and language enhance the subversive effect. The banning and subsequent disappearance of Kourouma's play, Tougnatigui ou le Diseur de verite and the dramatic adaptations of his first two novels call for an appreciation of his entire work from a dramaturgical perspective. In this study, we shall analyse the constitutive elements of the intergeneric qualities underlying Kourouma's writing. To this end, …
Kourouma 2000 : Humour Obligé!, Annik Doquire Kerzberg
Kourouma 2000 : Humour Obligé!, Annik Doquire Kerzberg
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Ahmadou Kourouma's novel Allah n'est pas oblige belongs to the rich literary vein of texts, both autobiographical and fictitious, that are written in French, for adults, portraying children. This novel stands out however through the young narrator's humor as well as through the tragic nature of its topic: child-soldiers. This article analyzes the humor, presenting it as the only possible and thus the "obliged" mode of narrating and reading the atrocities of recent tribal wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Créativité Esthétique Et Enrichissement Du Français Dans La Prose Romanesque D'Ahmadou Kourouma, Gerard Marie Noumssi, Rodolphine Sylvie Wamba
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
It becomes clear that Ahmadou Kourouma's literary work is marked by the predominance of authentically African techniques of expression (semantax). With this in mind, the present study tries to analyse its linguistic manifestations as techniques of aesthetic creativity and of the enrichment of the French language through the writing of novels. This is why we have serialized and described the expressive neologies in the corpus of our study while pointing out their stylistic effects: the Negro-African imagery. Still in the same perspective the strategies identified and analyzed help to illustrate a narrative polyphony resulting from highly oralized contexts with the …
La Littérature D'Enfance Et De Jeunesse D'Ahmadou Kourouma, Guy Tegomo
La Littérature D'Enfance Et De Jeunesse D'Ahmadou Kourouma, Guy Tegomo
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
For some years, a certain number of Black African publishers and writers have tried to reverse a tendency to forget young readers. Among the African writers, Ahmadou Kourouma holds a special place. His works for young readers actually reveal an unusual formal approach in which, for example, he combines two genres as different as the documentary album for children with a novel for adolescents. These are works reflecting an ancestral Africa for which the author strives to preserve the memory by placing at the disposition of young Africans the elements for reappropriating their culture and society.
En Attendant Le Plan Marshall : Consommation Endogène De La Littérature Camerounaise, Pierre Fandio
En Attendant Le Plan Marshall : Consommation Endogène De La Littérature Camerounaise, Pierre Fandio
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Despite the numerous forms of "aid" it has always received, Africa remains the only continent on the fringe of the tremendous development that the rest of the world has been experiencing in the last two centuries. The sectorial analysis of the literary works in this paper illustrates how the implementation of the various "Marshall Plan" is meant to bring about the development of a whole continent and a country like Cameroon. This could be done by involving actors of the cultural domain in the analysis of data and formulation of solution. Such development could give a boost to profitable endogenous …

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The prix de la Francite, awarded by the journal Etudes franqaises, brought to Ahmadou Kourouma the publication of his first novel, Les soleils des independances, and exceptional renown for the author of a single novel. He received two other prizes when Les soleils ... was republished in Paris in 1970. After a "silence" of some twenty years, during which he was working as an actuary and an insurance expert in various countries, Kourouma surprised the literary world by publishing, in 1990, a second novel, Manne, outrages et defis. This novel along with two more, En attendant le vote des betes …

L'Enfance Échouée Comme Source De Drame Dans En Attendant Le Vote Des Betes Sauvages, Kasongo M. Kapanga
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
En attendant le vote des betes sauvages can be read as a discursive analysis of the problematic of the ruling class identity. In reality, who are the African rulers whose poor governance has pushed the continent to the brink of bankruptcy? Everything can be traced back to that childhood which, in the case of this elite, has resulted in paralysis. Analysis uncovers failed childhood immobilized in an ideology of servitude.

L'Incipit Dans L'Œuvre D'Ahmadou Kourouma, Sélom Komlan Gbanou
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The literary work can develop an internal identity as a particular mark. Several African writers incorporate into their novels indications of culture that derive from verbal arts. This method gives to the writing a particular aesthetic in between two cultures, creating in the writing an individuality of certain writers such as Ahmadou Kourouma. For him the question is not only to distort the French language to express his Malinke identity, but also to develop a method of incipit that belongs to verbal art.
La Quête De L'Identité Dans Deux Romans Acadiens: Le Chemin Saint-Jacques Et Moncton Mantra [The Quest For Identity In Two Acadian Novels: Le Chemin Saint-Jacques And Moncton Mantra], Lisa Pelletier
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In most people's minds the word "Acadian" is synonomous with "Deportation." Between 1755 ans 1763, the British government deported seventy-five percent of the French Neutrals of Acadia, an estimated 11,000 men, women, and children. Immediately after the Treaty of Paris of 1763 and from all parts of the world, Acadians started the return journey. Those who reestablished themselves in Nova Scotia (Acadia no longer existed as a geographic location since 1713) and southern New Brunswick were once again removed from their new lands as Loyalists flowed in by the thousands after their defeat in the American Revolution. The French Acadians …
The Limits Of Writing In Marie Cardinal's Amour... Amours..., Claire Marrone
The Limits Of Writing In Marie Cardinal's Amour... Amours..., Claire Marrone
Languages Faculty Publications
Amour... amours... enters into a body of literature in French, particularly in the postcolonial period, that deals with the bilingual and bicultural aspects of selfhood. In focusing on the France-Algeria connection, the text illustrates the challenges of negotiating between conflicting allegiances. Salient issues in self-definition emerge, including the significance of one's birthplace and the loss of one's homeland. What is interesting in Amour... amours... is the way in which Cardinal conjures up remembrances of Algeria, including stylistic experimentation, intertextual echoes, and the thematization of love evoked in the title. With her protagonist, Lola Lavoie, the author evokes both la …

Boris Vian's American Movie: The Lost Authorship Of I Will Spit On Your Graves , M. Martin Guiney
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
Boris Vian (1920-1959) is today considered one of France's foremost avant-garde novelists of the twentieth century, but in his lifetime he was known to a wide audience as the author of one work: J'irai cracher sur vos tombes (I Will Spit on Your Graves), a pastiche of American hard-boiled fiction which he published in 1946 under the name of a fictitious Black American author, Vernon Sullivan. Vian died twelve years later of heart failure while viewing the film adaptation, which he had no part in producing. Vian-as-author "died" long before that fateful moment, however: first when he perpetrated a …

When I Means We: A Reading Of School In French Caribbean Apprenticeship Novels , Pascale De Souza
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
While most critics agree that the quest for identity which underlies much of post-colonial literature is illustrated in the thematic approaches adopted by writers, this study further the argument by suggesting that it also conditions writers' selection of narrative strategies. In its representation of subjectivity in process, the apprenticeship novel seems to offer an enticing model of self-completion. This narrative strategy, however, presents particular complexities when used to portray coming of age in a society divided along ethnic lines. Simon Gikandi argues with regards to the Caribbean that the probability of a quest for identity reaching fruition is nil, but …

Dans cette étude sur la palatalisation au Quebec nous avons cherché a connaître les origines du phénomène, les raisons pour lesquelles il a longtemps persisté au Quebec et finalement s’il se produit encore dans la langue québécoise. Nous avons donc trouvé important d’établir deux choses: les bases historiques de la langue française parlée au Quebec depuis la colonisation jusqu’a la Revolution Tranquille et une explication du phénomenè. Nous avons ensuite examiné les données du Glossaire du Français Parle au Canada dans le but d’analyser le phénomène dans la langue québécoise.
A partir des bases historiques, nous avons conclu que la …

Truth And Consequences: Renaud Camus And The Personal, Brian G. Kennelly

A year before his untimely death in 1980, in the days before the internet, before even the minitel bleu or rose, Roland Barthes compared the personals – at that time still print-based – of two popular French dailies. On the one hand, the advertisements in Le Nouvel Observateur belied artifice, he noted. The information their writers shared publicly with potential mates revealed a certain banal artificiality. Despite the obvious effort the creators of the ads had put into catching the eye of possible matches, in spite of the care with which they had weighed the words before ultimately selecting …
