Fatou Diome: Une Création Entre Les Arts, Sada Niang
Fatou Diome: Une Création Entre Les Arts, Sada Niang
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
As she began her career in the 1980s, Fatou Diome inherited a rich tradition of literary texts and media productions, African cinema among them. Since she also hailed from a country known as "francophone", it is hardly surprising that her novels resonate with the style and narratives of African, French and other European writers. In this article, we propose to unveil a few of these artistic threads which may have informed and inspired Fatou Diome.
Qui Est Done « L'Homme De Barbès » ? Le Probleme Du « Nègre » De L'Écriture Migrante Dans Le Ventre De L'Atlantique De Fatou Diome, El Hadji Moustapha Diop
Qui Est Done « L'Homme De Barbès » ? Le Probleme Du « Nègre » De L'Écriture Migrante Dans Le Ventre De L'Atlantique De Fatou Diome, El Hadji Moustapha Diop
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This paper attempts to revisit the figure of "l'homme de Barbes" as a new form of invisible subalternity deeply inscribed within the texture of Fatou Diome's Le ventre de l'At/lntique, this landmark novel said to usher in a new era in migrant literature, at the intersection between the postcolonial and the transnational. In this respect, Diome's novel is indeed seminal, but from a geocritical perspective. Thus, I argue that the man of/from Barbès must be read as a figure greater than the sum of his narrative and discursive parts. Unlike the Parisian "black bazaar" tagged onto his persona, the "multiplicity …
Métamorphoses De L'Écrivain Dans Le Roman Francophone Subsaharien, Christian Uwe
Métamorphoses De L'Écrivain Dans Le Roman Francophone Subsaharien, Christian Uwe
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
In his very first novel - La vie et demie - the question was put forward: wherefrom shall Sony Labou Tansi write so as to be? With a stunning lucidity, the author observed the irreducible gap that separates him from (and yet links him to) his writing: "I who speak of the absurdity of the absurd [ ... ] wherefrom do you think I speak if not from the outside?" (1979: 9). Starting from that novel, this paper explores the way the figure of the author is revealed by the writing. To that end, it explores five takes on such …
La Question Du Cinéma Populaire En Afrique Du Nord, Michel Serceau
La Question Du Cinéma Populaire En Afrique Du Nord, Michel Serceau
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The different North African cinemas, which appeared after the independences and were the work of film directors trained in Europe, were, as a principle, an art-house cinema at odds with the classical cinema type. Presented at festivals very often, they were not really embraced by the national audiences, who were mainly consumers of popular productions, either western or Egyptian. But the production of genre films (especially comedies) which were very rare until the 1990s is increasing today, at least in Morocco. Their arrival at the top of the Moroccan box-office where they compete with the American blockbusters prove that the …
Du Folklore Au Cinéma: La Transformation D'Un Classique De La Littérature Orale, Désiré Nyela
Du Folklore Au Cinéma: La Transformation D'Un Classique De La Littérature Orale, Désiré Nyela
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Michel Ocelot's film Kirikou et la sorcière became a great success as soon as it hit the screens in 1998. It even inspired a sequel, Kirikou et les betes sauvages, whose release in 2005 earned the figure of the small African boy a permanent place in a wider Francophone imaginary. Originating in a traditional tale, Kirikou et la sorcière is an adaptation and, as such, the result of a transformation. Indeed, it is the result of a two-fold transformation involving a transition from the oral to the written, on one hand, and from the written to the visual, on …

Cinéma Ambulant Et Éducation: Télé Yaka Et Cinomade, Vincent Bouchard
Cinéma Ambulant Et Éducation: Télé Yaka Et Cinomade, Vincent Bouchard
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Cinomade is an association that tries to sensitize the populations about the HIV pandemic in Burkina Faso. Télé Vaka, literally the "Neighborhood Television" in more language, was an itinerant local television around Koudougou in Burkina Faso. By comparing the reception of screenings organized in rural areas by Télé Vaka and Cinomade, this article describes a popular form of consumption of audio-visual images in West Africa. By causing the debate inside the communities using a heterogeneous device connecting endogenous (the chief's words, those of the elders, etc.) and exogenous (video projection and public testimony), ways of communication, this experiment modifies our …
Les Modes De Réception Des Films Populaires Africains Au Brésil: Entre Usage Socioculturel Et « Plaisir Du Texte », Mahomed Bamba
Les Modes De Réception Des Films Populaires Africains Au Brésil: Entre Usage Socioculturel Et « Plaisir Du Texte », Mahomed Bamba
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
In this article, I discuss the uses and the reception of African films (popular films and films d'auteur) in Brazil, especially in some Mostras. I examine, among other issues, the role of these mini-festivals in the establishment of what we can call a popular African cinema experience in a community. These contexts of reception produce in the audience a level of expectation, but also some constraints that impact the films' reading and interpretation.
La Fermeture Des Salles De Cinéma En Afrique De L'Ouest Et Ses Impacts Sur L'Internet Et La Télévision, Mouhamadou Cissé
La Fermeture Des Salles De Cinéma En Afrique De L'Ouest Et Ses Impacts Sur L'Internet Et La Télévision, Mouhamadou Cissé
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This article analyzes the importance of the film industry in West Africa by posing the problem of the closure of cinemas in recent decades in three countries: Senegal, Mali and Burkina Faso. The disappearance of movie theatres jeopardizes reception and drives the use of the Internet and television as broadcasting outlets for movies. This issue occupies little space in film criticism that privileges, according to Claude Forest, the "creative and cultural aspects" and therefore the aesthetics of African film.
Esthétique Écologique Et Hybridité Dans Les Génériques De Début Des Feuilletons Télévisés Camerounais, -- Ngetcham, Leslie Goufo Zemmo
Esthétique Écologique Et Hybridité Dans Les Génériques De Début Des Feuilletons Télévisés Camerounais, -- Ngetcham, Leslie Goufo Zemmo
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The first television pictures appeared in Cameroon thirty years ago, proposing series for public consumption. These imported products later on suffered a singular competition from local artists, whose works were mostly broadcast on private channels, besides what was proposed by the single public media of Cameroon Television (CW). In this article, we intend to carry an ecocritical analysis on the aesthetic aspects of ten credit titles; we also bring out the formal process of producing movies; this is how we can identify hybridity through costumes, languages and scenery because they go beyond the local environment which they reveal to present …
Banlieues, Perspective Spatiale : Déterritorialisation Et Subjectivité Radicale Dans Banlieue Noire Et En Attendant Que Le Bus Explose De Thomté Ryam, Étienne-Marie Lassi
Banlieues, Perspective Spatiale : Déterritorialisation Et Subjectivité Radicale Dans Banlieue Noire Et En Attendant Que Le Bus Explose De Thomté Ryam, Étienne-Marie Lassi
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This article studies the social process of the production of the banlieue as a space with a practical function and identifies some of the social itineraries that the young inhabitants of this marginal place can opt for. Using the concepts of territoriality and spatiality, it demonstrates that in Thomté Ryam’s novels, the banlieue is simultaneously a physical space and a social construct that works like a protection from the political power and a dominant public opinion portrayed as the forces of destiny.
