La « Littérature Francophone » En Question, Roberta Hatcher Jun 2003

La « Littérature Francophone » En Question, Roberta Hatcher

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

While literatures from Africa, the Caribbean and Québec have been taught in U.S French programs since at least the 1970s, the widespread incorporation of «francophone» literature and culture into all levels of the curriculum is a relatively recent phenomenon. Yet the organization of these heterogeneous fields under the umbrella of Francophone Studies has generated little discussion concerning the field’s definition and its relation to French Studies as a whole. This essay examines the category of Francophone Literature, arguing that it is no longer adequate for understanding today’s complex literary and cultural terrain.


La Littérature D'Enfance Et De Jeunesse D'Ahmadou Kourouma, Guy Tegomo Dec 2002

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.

La Francophonie Littéraire Du Sud: De L'Unité Linguistique À La Diversité Culturelle, Najib Redouane

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This study will focus on the diversity, conjunction and separation of Francophone literatures of the South (Africa, Antilles and Maghreb). The aim is to underscore the characteristics and differences of this literary production in order, on the one hand, to consider its originality and sphere of influence and, on the other hand, to appreciate its singularity and plurality.
