Les Topographies Urbaine, Sociale Et Religieuse Dans Dakar, La Touriste Autochtone D'Aïssatou Cissokho, Heinz Kluppeholz Jan 2000

Les Topographies Urbaine, Sociale Et Religieuse Dans Dakar, La Touriste Autochtone D'Aïssatou Cissokho, Heinz Kluppeholz

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

With her book, Aissatou Cissokho goes well beyond what is normally considered to be a simple tourist guidebook. Her social guide focusses on the urban, social and religious aspects of the Senegalese capital. Within these three circles she progressively criticises the education of young people, structures of the State, and the greed of certain religious representatives. By virtue of its openness, however, Dakar, la touriste autochtone evokes other potential problems as well.

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.


De La Bilangue De Khatibi À L'A-Langue Amère De Fouad Laroui: Amour Bilangue Ou Méfiez-Vous Des Parachustistes, Mireille Rosello Jan 2000

De La Bilangue De Khatibi À L'A-Langue Amère De Fouad Laroui: Amour Bilangue Ou Méfiez-Vous Des Parachustistes, Mireille Rosello

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Fouad Laroui puts forth a new model of relationship to the language, one that separates from the idealized notion of the mother- language couple (place of origin and tradition, allegorical figure of the colonized and humiliated country) that characterized the previous generation of writers from the Maghreb. In so doing, he puts a new focus on the issue of French as the «dominant language».


Colonial Violence And Trauma In The Works Of Michèle Lacrosil And Ken Bugul, Marie-Chantal Kalisa Jan 2000

Colonial Violence And Trauma In The Works Of Michèle Lacrosil And Ken Bugul, Marie-Chantal Kalisa

French Language and Literature Papers

To what extent can we say that both Lacrosil and Bugul rewrite Fanon? Through the study of Cajou and Ken, respectively the Guadeloupean and the Senegalese female protagonists, this article proposes a way to derive a specifically female perspective on colonial violence. The essay focuses on the two novels, Cajou and Le baobab fou, and examines the effect of colonial epistemological violence and its specific impact on the black female’s subjectivity. The protagonists Ken and Cajou revisit their initial trauma in a quest for knowledge of their historical heritage and engage in a dialogue with Frantz Fanon, representative of black …

Nouvelles Perspectives Sur De La Religion: Benjamin Constant Et La Franc-Maçonnerie, Helena Rosenblatt Jan 2000

Nouvelles Perspectives Sur De La Religion: Benjamin Constant Et La Franc-Maçonnerie, Helena Rosenblatt

Publications and Research

Dès la fin du Directoire, pendant le Consulat, puis sous l'Empire, la maçonnerie française connait une période d'expansion. Les historiens s'accordent à dire qu'elle devient alors "le conservatoire des idées de 1789", "l'officine du libéralisme politique et social". Ainsi n'est-il pas surprenant de constater que plusieurs des amis, collègues et alliés de Constant sont franc-maçons.La franc-maçonnerie de 1789 est fortement anti-"ultra", ce qui explique pourquoi, dès 1820, des "ultras" s'adressent à la justice ou à la Chambre des Pairs pour obtenir l'interdiction de l'ordre. Cela étant, et vu que De la religion est un ouvrage anti-"ultra" écrit par un libéral …
