Vers Une Ecocritique Postcoloniale Africaine: L’Environnement Dans Les Litteratures Africaines De Langue Française, Marie Chantale Mofin Noussi
Foreign Languages & Literatures ETDs
This work was motivated by two major facts: the African environment is at the heart of the continents relationships with colonialism, neocolonialism and globalization; but there is not enough literary emphasis on this environmental centrality. This work contributes in bridging the gap between African Francophone Literatures and the environmental discourses. This dissertation is the literary analysis of the representation, the transformation, and the exploitation of the African environment in the operating policies of colonial, neocolonial and global power structures. These environmental policies in the colonial and current global world tend to mold the African environment in a way that the …

Immigration In France: How French Perception Affects Muslim Integration, Brittany P. Eisenhut
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
In this paper I examine the process of Muslim immigrants' integration, probing into the negative French perceptions of immigrants and how these perceptions may affect the process of integration and assimilation. I begin with a brief overview of French history as related to Muslim societies and how French culture and policies have evolved to their current state, such as the new strict policy on identity card renewal and the promise to integrate if accepted into the country. Next I deal strictly with immigration in France, including the policies and procedures of the French government and the perceptions of the French …

Governing Gorée: France In West Africa Following The Seven Years' War, Andrew G. Skabelund
Theses and Dissertations
In 1763, France had just suffered a devastating loss to the British in the Seven Years' War. In almost an instant, France's claims to West Africa shrank to the tiny island of Gorée off the coast of Senegal and a few trading posts on the mainland. This drastic reversal of fortunes forced France to reevaluate its place in the world and rethink its overall imperial objectives and colonial strategies, and in an effort to regroup, the French Empire sent a new governor, Pierre François Guillaume Poncet de la Rivière, on a mission to regain its foothold in West Africa. From …

Le Rôle Du Hammam Féminin Dans La Construction Et La Consolidation Des Identités Sexuées En Algérie Et Au Maroc, Nina Bauwens
Foreign Languages & Literatures ETDs
The traditional women's hammam, or public bath, is a key space in the Arabo-Muslim societies of Algeria and Morocco. In those two countries, the division between men and women, still important today, is also noticeable inside the public bath, since men and women do not mingle. The question of gendered identity appears. More than a distinction between sexes, it is a social distinction between a man's identity and a woman's identity that is relevant here. It is essential to be able to distinguish to which 'group' each person belongs. Thus, the notions of individual identity, and then of gendered identity …

Langage Et Représentation Du Génocide Rwandais, Pierre Vaucher
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
By focusing on Tierno Monénembo’s L’aîné des orphelins and Abdourahman A. Waberi’s Moisson de crânes, this article illustrates how modernity can be seen as a reflection on language. Having in mind Baudelaire’s conception of modernity (which was defi ned in his writings about the painter Constantin Guys), we demonstrate that the representation of the Rwandan genocide, in both books, involves a singular mise en scène of language. At first, language is seen through the lens of its destructive power; then, as a cure against evil. Indeed, since it involves a distorted perception of reality, language appears to be a vehicle …

L’Aventure Ambiguë De Hamidou Kane : Modernités En Abyme, Elisabeth Mudimbe-Boyi
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The article seeks to revisit the interpretation of L’aventure ambiguë by proposing a reading that goes well beyond a simple binarism opposing tradition and modernity. The analysis emphasizes the philosophical dimension of the novel in order to show that African modernity is at the same time representation and critique of the Western modernity inscribed in abyme within the novel. Such approach allows the work to escape the prison house of contingency and to remain open and meaningful in different times and spaces.

Les Lézardes Du Sens Dans Les Romans D’Ahmadou Kourouma, Justin K. Bisanswa
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The text illustrates that Kourouma’s novels act as an exemplary exteriorisation of a singular point of view on the world, while also acting as a space of transformation, touching both the anecdotes told and the process of narration. Through the general nature of their titles, the novels do not so much designate a décor, but rather an image of the human condition in which life governed by destiny fi nds, in the heart of social decay, a metaphor – both sombre and precise – for postcolonial Africa. Thus, the novels do not entirely absorb this philosophy of existence upheld by …

Henri Lopes : L’Écrivain Et Ses Doubles, Anthony Mangeon
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Henri Lopes’ novels display both a staging and a deep reflection on the African writer’s figure. His metatextual and metafictional practices reveal tensions inherent to the literary field as well as some literary postures available to African novelists. Different intertextual games (with existing literary works, with fictitious pieces of writing, between the different narratives imagined by Lopes himself) underscore the mimical and antagonist relationships between writers, characters and the symbolical figures of the author and the father. This allows the novelist to present himself as both a politically committed and a culturally hybrid writer.

Raharimanana : Écrire Pour Dégorger Le Cri Malgache, Françoise Simasotchi-Bronès
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Motivated by the need to be heard and to express a Madagascan cry suffocated by colonial and postcolonial history, the work of writer J.-L. Raharimanana fi ts remarkably well in the francophone literary landscape. It is characterised by writing in constant oxymoronic tension between violence and poetry. Once associated with humour and poetry, violence, portrayed as a residual component of colonial times, becomes energy to be recycled. This innovative force is at the origin of the author’s verbal and generic creativity. The aesthetic of violence in Rharimanana’s texts upholds a profoundly singular poetic and leads to the conclusion that the …

Dialogue Des Genres Et Écriture De L’Imaginaire Social Chez Tchicaya U Tam’Si Et Modibo Sounkalo Keita, Sylvère Mbondobari
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This article examines intertextual, intercultural and intergeneric relationships in the francophone crime novel. Always in dialogue with more conventional francophone fi ction, the crime novel is both a social reality and the refl ection of a collective imaginary. Marked by aesthetic renewal, it can be considered the expression of a world vision belonging to its target audience.

Espaces, Savoirs Et Historicité Dans Le Feu Des Origines D’Emmanuel Dongala, Kasereka Kavwahirehi
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This article demonstrates how, in Le feu des origines, the main character’s trajectory embodies the figuration of the history of African societies and the mutations of knowledge and belief systems that occurred during that very history. Thus, this text proposes a reflection on the manner in which a conflict plays out between old and new conceptions of the world, as well as the political and metaphysical implications of the replacement of old ways of thinking by new theories or scientific practices and techniques.

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The relationship between Haiti and the Domincan Republic is often analyzed through the prism of the century-old rivalry which opposed the two countries at specifi c times during the course of their history. Le peuple des terres mêlées is about one of the darkest chapter of this troubled and turbulent past; the 1937 genocide of thousands of Haitians by the Dominican authorities. In the border town of Elias Piña, a Haitian, Adèle Benjamin and her Dominican husband, Pedro Alvarez Brito are caught up in the genocidal violence ordered by the dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo y Molina whose goal is to …
