Le Docteur Et La Sorcière : Conflits De Médecine Et Concurrence Des Traditions Dans Moi, Tituba, Sorcière ... Noire De Salem, Natacha D'Orlando
Le Docteur Et La Sorcière : Conflits De Médecine Et Concurrence Des Traditions Dans Moi, Tituba, Sorcière ... Noire De Salem, Natacha D'Orlando
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This article focuses on Maryse Condé's depiction of medicine and science in her 1986 novel Mai, Tituba, sorcière. It argues that Tituba's critique of modern western medicine, as well as her definition of witchcraft as a healing art, resonate with some topical feminist issues around the time of its publication. Condé's rewriting of the Salem witchtrials emphasizes indeed the epistemological, as well as metaphysical, conflict between the female Caribbean healer and the male doctor whose diagnoses contribute to Tituba's condemnation. As Tituba's confidence in her power and knowledge grows, she also impersonates the danger of an arrogant science, forgoing Man …

Maryse Condé Devant Les Événments Africains Troublants: Entre Représentation Et Discours, Mouhamadou Cissé
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The repressed school strike in Guinea Conakry in 1961, the post-apartheid social crisis in South Africa and the 2002 civil war in Côte d'Ivoire are major events in African history that drew Maryse Condé's attention as illustrated through Heremakhonon (1976), Histoire de la femme cannibale (2003), En attendant la montée des eaux (2010). This article analyzes, beyond the modes of representation of events, the critical discourses that emerged from social fictions in examining murderous ideologies, the overflow of political, racial, ethnic identities as well as the obsessions of power that are at the origin of imagined conflicts. It explores how …
Lnterroger Le Présent Et Penser Notre Modernité Dans En Attendant La Montée Des Eaux De Maryse Condé, Bodia Bavuidi
Lnterroger Le Présent Et Penser Notre Modernité Dans En Attendant La Montée Des Eaux De Maryse Condé, Bodia Bavuidi
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Maryse Condé has successively been branded as unseemly drifter, insolent, rebel and subversive, due to the fluidity of her mind and her refusal to be fixated on any obsolete idea. Her stance shows a tendency to evolve with her time in political and intellectual thoughts. If Condé's entire work shows that the author cannot be placed in a specific straightjacket, it is because her writing conveys the urgency of daily experiences. The permanent concern for human well-being reflected in her work brings about an uneasiness towards events that threaten this well-being daily. Thus, by drawing on studies of the concept …

La Dynamique D'Un Engagement « Poélitique » : Le Cas Du Théâtre De Maryse Condé, Edwige Gbouablé
La Dynamique D'Un Engagement « Poélitique » : Le Cas Du Théâtre De Maryse Condé, Edwige Gbouablé
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Maryse Condé's plays reveal both a scriptural and thematic dynamism. This movement manifests a commitment that renews itself through the dramatization of varied sociopolitical current events. The first plays of the Guadeloupean showcase slavery, colonization and Independence. The problematic of the future of Black peoples flowing from them resounds differently in her recent works. Maryse Condé complexifies it indeed and updates it constantly. This makes her an unconventional author, for her writing takes roots in negritude, partakes in post-negritude and proceeds equally from a dramaturgy of uprootedness.

De L'Actualité À L'Actualisation Dans Traversée De La Mangrove Et La Vie Sans Fards De Maryse Condé, Karine Gendron
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
After studying the narrative figures at work in Maryse Condé's novels Traversée de la Mangrove (1989) and La vie sans fards (2012), our article questions the obvious valorization of stories and of storytelling shown as ambiguous in the textual space, because they are shown as indefinite, polysemic and uncertain. In the textual universe, the ambiguous narrative is especially sought after because it is updatable, by the enunciator as much as by the instance addressed. We suggest that this characteristic of the ambiguous and renewable story and of storytelling is also performed in Maryse Condé' works. In our view, this corresponds …

De Harlem À Yaoundé: Du Panafricanisme Au Discours Critique En Afrique Francophone, Sélom Komlan Gbanou
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The birth of the Negro Renaissance movement in Harlem (USA), at the beginning of the 1920s, had a remarkable impact on the destiny of the black peoples of Africa, especially in their fight for independence. Having experienced slavery and segregation, the AfroAmerican intellectuals fought continuously in the quest for dignity and freedom. In so doing, their actions and ideas inspired their African counterparts to devise ways and means in their anticolonial fight. This impact, in addition to other factors, inherently led to the 1956 and 1959 Congresses held in Paris and Rome respectively. The purpose of these meetings was to …

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Between the publication of Moi, Tituba sorcière (1986) and Mets et merveilles (2015), Maryse Condé has channeled her academic and pedagogical experiences onto the realm of fiction. This article shows the committed relations of the Caribbean author to education and its stakes. We will proceed to the identification and the analysis of the symptoms of a modern school and a world both in global crisis, as shown in the autobiographical and critique writing of Condé.

Écriture De L'Enfance Et Projection Fictionnelle De Soi Dans Impossible De Grandir De Fatou Diome, Damo Junior Vianney Koffi
Écriture De L'Enfance Et Projection Fictionnelle De Soi Dans Impossible De Grandir De Fatou Diome, Damo Junior Vianney Koffi
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This article examines the retelling of childhood in Impossible de grandir. Not only does the study focus on the recalling of childhood memories taken as locus of survival of the "je", as expression of the novelist's personality disguised as Salie, her fictional double, but it also examines the processes and implications of such a mode of literary creation set up as an internal and post traumatic dialogue between present and past, a present and past self. Such conversation, I argue, makes apparent the fragmentations of the "je" and the hybrid identity construction of Fatou Diome. As well, provided this process …

« Une Maison Abandonné, C'Est Comme Une Histoire Inachevée ». Espace, Corps Et Recit Dans La Nuit Sacrée De Tahar Ben Jelloun, Clarisse Barbier
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
We will analyze the relationship between body, space, and narration, three major concepts of La nuit sacrée that are intertwined in their value of potential means of alienation but also of liberation and of power. We will first examine the main closed spaces and their influence on Zahra's body and narration. Then we will analyze the occurrences of bodies to determine to which extent they inform of Zahra's progression - or regression - in her quest. Finally, Zahra's psychological evolution will be studied: Zahra finally finds her liberation through the somatization of her past, not its rejection, and through speech.

Amazones Et Guerrieres Dans L'Reuvre Romanesque De Fatou Diome, Lydia Bauer
Amazones Et Guerrieres Dans L'Reuvre Romanesque De Fatou Diome, Lydia Bauer
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
One enters Fatou Diome's creative work as in a wrestling arena. She features strong female narrators and characters. These, just like amazons, battle against the patriarchal system, unfair treatments and prejudices of all kinds, in order to regain their dignity and freedom. Their weapons are of the intellectual kind such as language and writing. In this article, we examine different kinds of battles featured in Diome's novels by focusing on both plot and narration.
Sillage, Trace, Empreinte: La Migrance Ambulatoire De Fatou Diome, Catherine Mazauric
Sillage, Trace, Empreinte: La Migrance Ambulatoire De Fatou Diome, Catherine Mazauric
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
From Le ventre de l'Atlantique and Impossible de grandir to Marianne porte plainte!, going as far back as her early poems and short stories published in journals, Fatou Diome uses recurring patterns of wake, trace and footprints as different forms of physical and ethical engagements in the world. In the process of literary creation, such engagement generates a mobile third location, "a space of migrance" where various sets of cultural heritages and ethical values undergo reformulation. This paper argues that it is in such a space that Diome locates the emergence of a powerful feminine subjectivity which gained its autonomy …
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
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 …

Niodior Ou L'Économie Du Texte Diomien, Mbaye Diouf
Niodior Ou L'Économie Du Texte Diomien, Mbaye Diouf
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
To a large extent, Niodior may be considered the main biographical and discursive referent of Fatou Diome's entire literary output, to date. In addition to being the birth place of the novelist, Niodior stands as the workshop of the Diomian novel. It is at once the wrestling arena of discourses of the self vs. others, the breeding ground of other "selves" and other possible others. As a consequence, Niodior, in Diome's novels, becomes a textual place which informs the self, the community, immigration and globalization through a semiotic of place. In this article, I argue that an application of geocriticism …
