Hyènes Ou L'Étau De La Mondialisation, Sada Niang
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Throughout his career, Djibril Diop Mambety infrequently associated with organizations set up by African film makers. He lived a life of dreams and invariably attempted to turn his dreams into film : the dream of a city (Dakar) at the crossroads of the history of a country (Contras'City, 1968), the dream of freedom (Badou Boy, 1970), the dream of belonging to a country free from the determinations of hegemonic discourses (Touki Bouki, 1973). In Hyenas (1992), Djibril Diop Mambety puts globalization on trial.

Une Poétique De L'Entre-Deux: Figures De L'Intermédiaire Dans L'Écriture D'Assia Djebar, Miléna Horvàth
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The goal of the present study is to observe the narrator's intercultural situation in certain novels of Assia Djebar written since 1980 : L 'amour, la fantasia (1985), Loin de Medine (1991) et Vaste est la prison (1995). In those texts, Djebar's fiction intertextuality reveals the in-between situation of the female narrator. lntertextual methods, what we call « in-between writing », help the transition between the female voice, Islamic writing, texts on colonization and image taken by a camera.

Hégémonie, Féminin Et Paradoxes De La Représentation, Alexie Tcheuyap
Hégémonie, Féminin Et Paradoxes De La Représentation, Alexie Tcheuyap
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Gender issues in African literature and cinema have always raised challenging questions. It seems that the real or supposed oppression of women is often Justified in biological rather than in social terms, which, in turn obfuscates the real issues. This essay addresses the problem of film reecritures, from a comparative perspective. In so doing we pay special attention to the status of the feminine. Our aim is to reconsider current trends and ideological changes in the transfer from literary to filmic text.

L'Image-Son Dans La Zerda Ou La Pharmacie Du Cinématographe, Mireille Calle-Gruber
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Film and literature are interrelated in the works of Assia Djebar. An analysis of La Zerda et les chants de l'oubli reveals among other techniques, that the "image- son" can also be found in the literary production of this author whose concern for autobiography and languages is essential.

État Illégitime Et Discourse Cinématographique Au Cameroun, Gilbert Doho
État Illégitime Et Discourse Cinématographique Au Cameroun, Gilbert Doho
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Cameroonian cinema is a product of a system that France and the local colonialists forged to maintain the imperial cultural hold. In order to cover its repressive nature, the local regime had to build up a cinematographic discourse that would portray its repressive nature and silence a rebellious population.

État De Recherches Et Orientations Nouvelles Du Cinéma Francophone Ouest-Africain: 1980-2000, Suzanne Crosta
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Now is an opportune time to look at the expanse of research that has emerged since 1980 in the field of African film criticism, to trace its parameters, highlight its strengths and identify its current shifts. In examining its present trends, we shall underscore themes and promising features in current African films. Our focus ·will be on French West African films and filmmakers; we will emphasize theoretical and esthetic writings in the field rather than popular media resources. It is a modest contribution to the field of African film studies, one we hope will foster further research into the full …

Le Portrait Sociologique De La Femme Benjellounienne Dans Le Premier Amour Est Toujours Le Dernier, Ana Soler
Le Portrait Sociologique De La Femme Benjellounienne Dans Le Premier Amour Est Toujours Le Dernier, Ana Soler
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
An analysis of the female characters in this collection of short stories reveals two contradictory images of Woman: on the one hand, the discreet presence of Woman as an oppressed being, subjugated by Islamic dogma and, on the other, the much more salient emancipated woman who transgresses canonical principles. Hence, the appearance of two kinds of couples, both of which are shown to be the site of power struggles that ultimately veer towards a masters/ ave relationship. Pledged to defeat, love is thus presented as no more than a utopic quest.

Madame Arnoul De Jean-Noël Pancrazi : Algérie, Attachements, Arrachements, Anne-Marie Obajtek-Kirkwood
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This work narrates the childhood of a young Pied-Nair in colonial French Algeria, the first twelve years of his love for this colonized country. Yet these years were even more marked by the war which was to tear apart all the inhabitants, natives and colonizers alike, and lead the narrator and his family to exile. The text is therefore deeply structured by the two opposing poles of attachment and wrenching.

Déchirures De V. Y. Mudimbe Ou Le Cri Pour Un Renouveau Poétique En Afrique Centrale, Kavwahirehi Kasereka
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
V.Y. Mudimbe's Dechirures (1971) has been widely analyzed. Some critics have emphasized the poet's hermetism or intellectualism; others, his themes; still others attempt to reveal the moral lesson that emerges from his poetry. In this article, by focussing on the meaning of the poet's opening declaration ('I would like to cry out against poems''), by weighing quotations from Jean de la Croix, Rembrandt and Mallarme in the text, and by situating this collection in the context of African literature, the author is seeking to demonstrate that Dechirures can be considered as a manifesto for a postnegritude poetry. This new poet …

Discours Préfaciel Et Poétique Africaine, Andre-Patient Bokiba
Discours Préfaciel Et Poétique Africaine, Andre-Patient Bokiba
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The rather common use of a preface in African literature raises the question of the poetic value of such a practice. A preface written for the author by an older or recognized writer usually seeks to legitimate or consecrate that work. The author who writes his own preface, however, has other goals in mind and his preface is marked by a certain number of properties which, on a practical level, lend themselves to ambiguous interpretation. The present study is based on an analysis of some 100 introductory texts of all types. It concludes that, in writing his own preface, an …
Albert Cohen Et Les Enjeux De La Francophonie, Véronique Maisier
Albert Cohen Et Les Enjeux De La Francophonie, Véronique Maisier
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The Swiss writer Albert Cohen learned very early to consider French his native language as opposed to the Greco-Venetian dialect spoken by his parents. The dilemma arising from conflicting forces between his Eastern Judaic heritage and his success as a Western Francophone writer caused a great deal of inner turmoil which manifested itself in his writings. This article examines the author's struggles in choosing the French language and underlines the consequences of his decisions.

Grand-Duché De Luxembourg: Les Raisons Et Les Modes D'Une Pratique Francophone, Frank Wilhelm
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Less well known because of its size, despite its political integration in the European Union, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is set apart by a practice of spoken French operating within the framework of a complex literary field marked by its national language, a dialect of Germanic origin. The first part of this article deals with socioeconomic and sociolinguistic aspects, relations with France, the teaching of French and questions that relate to writing. The second part details the specifics of a literary production in French that is amazingly varied.
