Écritures Génésiaques : Violences, Ruptures Et Recommencement Dans Le Roman Africain Francophone, Isaac Bazié

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This study analyzes the writing of crises in African novels and makes following observation: the novels listed do not represent crises and ruptures to obey a need for mimicry and authenticity in the representation through the art of real violence. The main objective of these novels by staging African crises and violence is rather to reflect a tension: that of a charged present situation, a real historical or imaginary crisis, and the equally important situation of a genesis, a new beginning, the terms of which sometimes remain to be defined.

Désexualiser Le Texte Féminin Francophone?, Mbaye Diouf

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This study shows that a recurring criticism of Francophone literatures often borrows from the essentialist theses of colonial anthropology, and that tendency is even stronger when it comes to the novels by Francophone women writers. The overwhelming majority of critical studies devoted to the subject continue to consider their works as the simple feminist discourses or even the naive testimonies. However, this criticism forgets that since the 1990s, Francophone women’s writing has been part of a world literature that articulates deep postcolonial mutations, both generic and discursive, and reassesses the sexual etiology of fictional societies. This is the subject of …

Combat Esthétique Et Mémoire Militante: Le Double Engagement De Boubacar Boris Diop, Serigne Seye

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

In this article, I argue that in Boubacar Boris Diop’s work, the articulation between aesthetic experimence and writing from memory confers on his character-narrators the functions of “écrivain-écrivain” and “écrivain porte-parole”. This sheds light on both aspects of the Senegalese’s author commitment through his main characters, as most of them are writers who themselves show the mechanism of creation of the novel. This text is resulting from a writing resolutely writing focused turned towards its own materiality. This article aims to demonstrate that the representation of the memory in Diop’s fiction is doubly militant. It testifies …

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Maryse Condé is a renowned French Caribbean writer from Guadeloupe. She is the author of numerous novels, including The Story of the Cannibal Woman.

Présence Ou Absence Africaine, Françoise Naudillon

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Among the institutions created in the post-war years, Présence Africaine (1947) and Le Monde diplomatique (1954) share in many ways the same vision of the contours of the world to come, between decolonization and Christianity. At the heart of debates from the 1950s to the 1980s, the two publications animate at the same time as they organize the intellectual life of four decades in France and in the former colonies. Between ideological fraternities, Third World or Pan-Africanism, anti-imperialism or anti-colonialism, the journalists of Le Monde and the editors of Présence Africaine have pursued a dialogue made up of collaborations, connivance …

Penser La Perte Radicale Dans L’Atlantique Sud, Christian Uwe

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

The metaphor of the mangrove captures an aesthetic issue common to works of Glissant and Condé: how to write the geography of a radical loss and an unexpected digenesis. As Drabinski (2019) remarks, the Glissantian mangrove is the paradoxical place of an aesthetic of the abyss, which tries to capture the fragile birth instead of a loss without traces. Condé, for her part, makes the mangrove the symbol of a silent writing (Lachman, 2014) as well as of a land trapped in its own alienated history. As a recurring image in Caribbean literature – to the point of problematizing, most …

Le Mal Politique Dans La Nuit De L’Imoko De Boubacar Boris Diop, Kodjo Attikpoé

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

According to his credo that African literature remains fundamentally inseparable from its initial political goals, Boubacar Boris Diop constantly denounces and criticizes ceaselessly African political issues in his works. His collection of short stories, La nuit de l’Imoko (2013), deals primarily with the question of political evil and thus bears witness to the author’s literary project. This article examines some aspects of this question in La nuit de l’Imoko, in particular the representation of the President and the intervention of political power in the cultural world. Boubacar Boris Diop’s short stories are certainly devoted to tackle so-called African evil, …

L’Humour Didactique Dans Guelwaar D’Ousmane Sembène, Anthère Nzabatsinda

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

In Guelwaar, film and novel by Ousmane Sembène (1923- 2007), humor often makes you smile; and when it is comical, it is ironic and parodic. These aspects highlight unusual or contradictory aspects, even serious situations. The aim of this caustic humor is to correct negative situations, especially to denounce the defects of hypocrisy and intolerance. The humorous strategy in Guelwaar is part of the Senegalese filmmaker-novelist’s perspective of a didactic project aimed at the whole of Africa.

Comme Un Goût De Néo-Polar : Crimes Et État Criminel Dans La Fiction De Théo Ananissoh, Sélom Komlan Gbanou

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

The work of Théo Ananissoh is a quest for meaning: the meaning of life, the meaning of political embezzlement and, above all, the meaning of these deep motives which affect social and ontological consciousness. His aesthetic choice orients him towards detective novels with characters explicitly involved in machinery and political machinations, through which he aims to show, with the help of insightful but detached observation and an investigation aimed only at providing information, exactly how the state poaches/interferes in the lives of its citizens. This article deals with detective novels as depictions of criminal intrigue in the postcolonial state in …

Discours Critique Du Polar D’Afrique Francophone : Formes Et Enjeux, Adama Togola

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Since the emergence of detective fiction in African francophone novel in the 1990s, many critical studies have been devoted to it. However, there are a few stereotypes and themes that a certain critique of generic obedience brings to light when it comes to analyzing the aesthetic and epistemological value of the African thriller. Some of these studies are in fact limited to the ways in which many writers adapt general aesthetic conventions of this genre, without looking at the ways these authors innovate in their works. This study questions the foundations of critical discourse on African detective fiction and shows …

Comment Lire Un Texte Francophone? La Traversée De La Mangrove De Maryse Condé, Josias Semujanga

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This study is structed around three components. It begins with a brief reflection on the paradox of the existence in university education of two literary institutions – French literature and Francophone literatures – whose works are nevertheless written in the same language (French). Then the article proposes a transcultural and transnational approach to overcome such dichotomy – France and French-speaking peripheries – by a methodology based on the principle of unity in the diversity of the elements of the texts from three aspects: literary genre, language/speech, and intertextuality. Finally, this reflection is based on the study of the novel Traversée …

Translating Nonsense: An Analysis Of The Poem “Jabberwocky” And Two French Translations, Kylie R. Deer

Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters

Is it possible to translate nonsense? If yes, then how?

Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky” is a nonsense poem in which many of the words are invented out of the author’s imagination. As a result, readers depend on Carroll to explain the meanings of such words. The first stanza of “Jabberwocky,” chosen since it contains the largest number of nonsense words in the poem, was analyzed and compared to the first stanza of two French translations (“Le Jaseroque” by Frank L. Warrin and “Bredoulocheux” by Henri Parisot). A word-by-word, and to an extent, syllable-by-syllable close reading of the three texts was performed …

Critical Success Factors For Implementing Blockchain In The Supply Chain For Product Traceability, Gary Lee

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Satashi Nakamoto’s introduction of blockchain in 2008 initially directed the technology for the use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies (Nakamoto, 2008).

Along with this anticipated use, businesses are using this technology to include traceability across the supply chain. This research looks at implementing blockchain technology in supply chain traceability. Clohessy (2019) identified critical success factors for implementing blockchain, but what is not existing in the literature are the relative importance of each factor for implementation of …

Organizational Role Conflict: The Lived Experience Of The Long-Term Department Chairperson In Higher Education, Susan M. Frey

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study is a hermeneutic investigation into the phenomenon of organizational role conflict as experienced by five long-term department chairpersons, four long-term department heads, and two former long-term department chairpersons working at universities and colleges located in Indiana, Illinois, and Massachusetts. Organizational role conflict for department chairpersons and department heads is a byproduct of their frontline manager position. By occupying a position between the collegiate and administrative branches of their institution, these managers serve as an important link in the chain of command, but suffer from ambiguous, contradictory, and competing expectations placed on them because of their hybrid status as …
