Perpétue Ou L’Actualité De L’Éco-Féminisme En Afrique En Afrique Hispanophone Et Lusophone, Marthe Oyane Metogho

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This article uses ecofeminism to study the status of women in French, Spanish and Portuguese speaking African countries. Taking Mongo Beti’s character, Perpetua, as an archetype, it demonstrates that women are subjected to a twofold domination that associates them with nature. Since the ideology of capitalism and progress that underlies African modernity views nature as dead matters to be conquered and exploited, it also rationalizes the oppression of women. Indeed, the reification of nature results in the social representation of women’s body as the repressible Other, a production tool and as exploitable resources.

Prolongement Des Concepts De Mongo Beti Autour De L’Éco-Solidarité: Barthélémy Toguo, Hélène Tissières

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

The writer and activist Mongo Beti upon his return in 1991 to his homeland in Cameroon, worked with the farmers, crushed by the political system. As he recalls in his novel Ville cruelle, colonial prerogatives have impacted urban planning and the environment. In regards to the numerous ecological disasters, the philosopher Fabien Eboussi Boulaga recalls the communities’ ancient approaches. Currently are such concerns being further tackled in Cameroon ? This brings us to reflect on Barthélémy Toguo’s artistic contributions and cultural center in Bandjoun, a part of which is devoted to the peasants in the surrounding region to preserve the …

Mongo Beti Et La Prophétie Irréalisée De Martin Luther King Jr. Black Bodies Matter !, Cilas Kemedjio

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

The suffering of the black body has reclaimed center-stage in the media galaxy thanks to the Black Lives Matter phenomenon, a movement that lives on social media. In this contribution, I argue that despite its ephemeral nature, Black Lives Matter proceeds from a long tradition of black activism. Locating the current reincarnation of the long struggle for black human rights leads us to the trope of metaphors of slavery that captures the materiality of the black suffering body. Metaphors of slavery run from Martin Luther King Jr.’s passion during the civil rights movement to Mongo Beti’s life-long commitment to the …

Mongo Beti Et Le Rubénisme : Une Histoire Du Futur, Jean-Blaise Samou

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Although the importance of history in Mongo Beti’s work is well established, research is less prolific on the vision that this Cameroonian writer had of the future of the African people. Yet his work, inspired by everyday life and anchored in the immediate history of the African continent, is strewn with precise reflections on the future of the Black world. The present article explores in Beti’s critical and literary production the foundations of an “omniprésent présent” (François Hartog, Régimes d’historicité, 2003) which highlights another obsession, that of a dream of self-determination and prosperity for the African peoples. By drawing parallels …

Mongo Beti, Théoricien De La Décolonialité, Adama Samaké

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Decoloniality is a concept coined by Walter Mignolo to fight against the invasion of the euro-American imaginary in the rest of the world that Anibal Quijano calls coloniality. Thus designed by the Modernity/Coloniality/Decoloniality research group to answer the vast question raised by globalization to the universal consciousness ; questioning centered on the conditions for re-socialization and a new humanization, the theory of decoloniality is determined as a philosophy of liberation based on epistemic disobedience. It finds a favorable echo among many African novelist, particularly Mongo Beti whose writings are intended as a methodology of historical initiative which intends to analyze …

Statut De La Femme Dans Branle-Bas En Noir Et Blanc Et Perpétue Et L’Habitude Du Malheur : Son Assujettissement Est-Il Seulement Double ?, Chandra Feupeussi

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This article offers a reading of the status and image of women in the postcolonial context of Africa through Branle-bas en noir et blanc and Perpétue et l’habitude du malheur by iconoclastic writer Mongo Beti. The female figures of his novels allow him to decry the conditions in which women are forced to live, between colonial, patriarchal, matriarchal and religious subjugation. Mongo Beti wants to be realistic when he talks about the problems of Africa; using women as a metaphor, he paints an Africa plagued by multiple evils that require us to get busy to get it out of underdevelopment, …

Is France Having A Populist Moment?, Emma Gilmore

Honors Theses

The word populism is often thrown around in news media and academic scholarship, but there is a lack of understanding of what it actually means as a political theory. In France, the two presidential candidates that made it to the second round in 2017, Emmanuel Macron and Marine le Pen, were both called populist, despite having vastly different campaign strategies and messages. This study used a computer-based method to analyze Campaign books from 24 candidates beginning in 1981 that determined that Populist language is on the rise, but not as aggressively as news media suggests.

A Semiotic Approach To Visual Analysis Of Dress: Symbolic Communication Of Clothing Color, Cut, And Composition Through The French Film Costumes Of Anaïs Romand, Leigh Danielle Honeycutt

LSU Master's Theses

This study examines the communicative role of clothing in film. Using the skillful costume canvas of French designer Anaïs Romand, we explore the possible visual messages and potential cultural and linguistic meanings that clothing choice conveys. This analysis uses Roland Barthes’ Theory of the “Five Codes” from his book S/Z as well as psychological sources about color analysis as its methodological basis. Images from each of the five period piece films were chosen and analyzed using semiotics. The costumes in all five films chosen for analysis were designed under the direction of Anaïs Romand and were all either nominated for, …

Exploring Ch’Timi’S History, Structure, And Decline: A Field Study Chez Les Ch’Tis, Felix Balak

The Pegasus Review: UCF Undergraduate Research Journal

This research investigated the history of the Ch’timi language and some of the differences between it and Standard French, as well as its decline and what, if anything, is being done to stop it. Ch’timi is a part of the Picard language group, spoken primarily in the north of France, and parts of Belgium. It is an endangered language, and few people still speak it to this day. This field research aims to determine how speakers of the language see it, whether they think it should be preserved, and whether anything is being done to keep it active. To answer …

Sociopoétique De Littératures Francophones En 3d, Désiré Nyela

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

What is a Francophone text? Every scholar of French-language literatures is confronted with this question which involves two issues: legitimization and specification. The reflection of the question of legitimization emerges from the need to come out of the shadow of metropolitan French literature; examining the question of specification is necessary because, although a “Francophone text” may leave its readers curious, bewildered, suspicious or even contemptuous, it must be regarded and valued as a literary work whose cogs and milestones must be correctly assessed. This article aims to lay the foundations for a critical approach to Francophone literatures which considers their …
