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.
