Amédée Pichot And Walter Scott’S Parrot: A Fabulous Tale Of Parroting And Pirating, Céline Sabiron
Amédée Pichot And Walter Scott’S Parrot: A Fabulous Tale Of Parroting And Pirating, Céline Sabiron
Studies in Scottish Literature
Describes the background and origin of Le perroquet de Walter Scott (Paris, 1834), by the French writer and translator Amédée Pichot, who had visited Scott (and Scott's home at Abbotsford) in 1822, discussing the complex interrelationship in Pichot's work between parody, translation, and piracy, and also considering more briefly Pichot's work as anticipating the better-known parrots in Flaubert and Julian Barnes.
In Between Realms: The Search For Feminine Selfhood In The Essais Of Montaigne, Anna Suarez
In Between Realms: The Search For Feminine Selfhood In The Essais Of Montaigne, Anna Suarez
Comparative Woman
My purpose is to explore factors of the Renaissance that determined women’s selfhood in Montaigne’s Essais. I argue that the shift into modernity is responsible for the loss of women’s autonomy as well as the anxiety experienced by men regarding their power as well as their potential. Montaigne and Renaissance discourse defines women only by their bodies (sexual organs) and I explore the elements that established biological essentialism. This paper exemplifies comparative literature in the sense that it combines literature, theory, and art for the purpose of creating a well-researched examination of the root causes for why women were …
Literature Of The Self In Foucault: Parrhesia And Autobiographical Discourse, Álvaro Luque
Literature Of The Self In Foucault: Parrhesia And Autobiographical Discourse, Álvaro Luque
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Literature of the Self in Foucault: Parrhesia and Autobiographical Discourse" Álvaro Luque Amo analyzes the framework of Foucault’s study of the technologies of the self. In his study, Michel Foucault analyses the practices of self-writing in the Graeco-Roman period. From this perspective, Foucault approaches the texts of classical authors to interpret what he calls a process of ethopoiesis, or construction of the subject: a subject who tells the truth about himself in the text. Foucault introduces concepts and ideas that are essential to understanding the evolution of autobiography and literature of the self. This article studies …
"The Politics Of Literature In Michel Foucault: Veridiction, Fiction And Desire", Azucena G. Blanco
"The Politics Of Literature In Michel Foucault: Veridiction, Fiction And Desire", Azucena G. Blanco
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
This article is based on two hypotheses. The first is that in the later Foucault we would find a reformulation of the status that literature had occupied in his work and the development of a politics of literature (already developed in “Sujetos irregulares: ficción y política en el Sade de Michel Foucault”). The second considers that fiction and desire are inseparably joined, which leads me to analyse the logic of Sade as logic of desire in the lectures that Foucault gave on the author at the University of Buffalo (1970). A reading of both aspects together needs to be …
Voix Narratives Et Transfigurations De L'Écrivain Dans Le Roman Francophone, Cheikh M. Diop
Voix Narratives Et Transfigurations De L'Écrivain Dans Le Roman Francophone, Cheikh M. Diop
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
In biblical language, transfiguration refers to the "change in bodily appearance" of the crucified Christ revealing his "divine nature". In the same way, it can be said that the writer is metamorphosed through the process of writing by the creation either of an alter ego or of an imaginary double, be it, animal or inanimate. The first case proposes original figures of the "social status" of the writer. In the second, the latter borrows the voice of a cat or makes a piece of furniture or an intimate object to speak. Therefore, we wonder if the transfiguration of the narrative …
Écrire Pour Qui? Enquête Sur La Figure Du Lecteur Dans L'Œuvre De Moussa Konaté, Christiane Ndiaye
Écrire Pour Qui? Enquête Sur La Figure Du Lecteur Dans L'Œuvre De Moussa Konaté, Christiane Ndiaye
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The question of the readership is a recurring one in francophone literature. However, the aim here is not to attempt a sociological study of actual readers of the works of Moussa Konaté but rather to retrace, from a few of his novels, the profile of the reader constructed by the text. The analysis focuses particularly on the knowledge of detective fiction and of the cultures and history of Africa attributed to the fictitious reader, and on sketching his axiological portrait. This investigation leads us to the conclusion that these novels construct the figure of a "transcultural" reader who is, above …

La Figuration De L'Art Dans Les Romans De V.Y. Mudimbe, Olga Hel-Bongo
La Figuration De L'Art Dans Les Romans De V.Y. Mudimbe, Olga Hel-Bongo
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
In Mudimbe's novels, art depicts the author and his writings, through a play of substitution and decentering. The author uses the artistic medium to escape constraints of discursive, religious, political or sexual order and as a place of transfiguration of the characters' desires. The aim of this article is to show that references to painting, literature, cinema and music reflect the refusal of the I to speak about oneself, except indirectly. The author chooses a strategy of decentering by combining the language of words and of images, and suggests, behind the mask of narrative representation, a taste for provocation, social …

La Figuration De L'Écriture Dans Quelques Romans Africains Contemporains, Adama Togola
La Figuration De L'Écriture Dans Quelques Romans Africains Contemporains, Adama Togola
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The contemporary African novel offers an acute staging of writing, the image of the writer and a reflection on the issues of literature. Its metafictional and metatextual dimensions give rise to a poetics in which writing appears both as a practice and as a theory of fiction. This study, which focuses on novels of Sembène Ousmane, Alain Mabanckou, and Blaise N'Djehoya, addresses the issue of double fiction. It aims to show that the figure of the fictitious writer sometimes appears as a textual substitute, a form of possible objectification of the real novelist, whose novels tend to turn into a …

La Leçon De Ouologuem Ou Le Portrait De L'Artiste En « Pisse-Copie, Nègre D'Écrivains Célèbres », Désiré Nyela
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The transformation of the African griot/storyteller into a writer was built on the sacredness of his mission, animated by the flame of engagement, inspired by blackness. However, the irruption of Ouologuem into the literary scene brought about a Copernican revolution of sorts by paving the way for a parodic reversal in the conception of the writer. Indeed, Ouologuem's knowledge of the asperities of the literary system surrounding the African novelist leads him to deconstruct the sacred character of the writer's figure; a desecration that places the figure of the writer and the fictional characters of his novel on the same …
Conte Romanesque, Chant-Roman: Postures De La Figure Auctoriale Chez Maurice Bandaman Et Werewere Liking, Adama Coulibaly
Conte Romanesque, Chant-Roman: Postures De La Figure Auctoriale Chez Maurice Bandaman Et Werewere Liking, Adama Coulibaly
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
What is the connection between the author figure and the genre? Contrary to a widespread idea, the generic mention is not a petrified venue. Indeed, from the mention of "song-novel" in Elle sera de jaspe et de corail and La mémoire amputée by Werewere Liking to that of "novelistic tale" in Le fi/s de-la-femme-male or that of the "novel" in L'État Z'héros by Maurice Bandaman, this study shows that, by a play of permanent negotiation of the limits of their fictional status, the writer and the storyteller, figures of the author, produce hybrid genres. The practice summons a kind …
Dialectique De La Figuration. Ken Bugul Au Miroir De Son Œuvre, Justin Bisanswa
Dialectique De La Figuration. Ken Bugul Au Miroir De Son Œuvre, Justin Bisanswa
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Drawing from Ken Bugul's novel The Abandoned Baobab, generally considered as a projection of the autobiography of its author, this article shows that the novelist is revealed by veiling, and is thus subject to a self-objectification in which the fantasy narrative echoes the autobiographical narrative. Various self portraits are on display: feminist, rebel, accursed, failed, exiled. The text oscillates between the here and the elsewhere, inversing the fullness lived with the emptiness of there, thus confusing the here and the elsewhere. Three postures of liberation characterize the narrator's attitude: withdrawal, fascination and derision. Through various strategies, while committing to …
Figure De L'Écrivain Chez Sami Tchak. Déterminisrne, Fantasme Et Mythe, Vincent Simédoh
Figure De L'Écrivain Chez Sami Tchak. Déterminisrne, Fantasme Et Mythe, Vincent Simédoh
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This article examines how the figure of the writer manifests himself in the postcolonial novel and the issues associated with all determinisms. Does a representation of oneself in a fictional space give one the possibility of being other than that which one is or is destined to be? Clearly a literary question, in the sense that it makes possibilities exist that are yet unavailable, it comes with few answers. It calls for further investigation to highlight the novelist's consciousness of the present, the writer's image that manifests itself in the novel in various forms by means of fantasies, the creation …

L'Objet Littéraire: Le Livre Et Le Personnage Lecteur Dans L'Œuvre De Sami Tchak, Kodjo Attikpoé
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This study aims to examine the literary representations of the book and the reader in the novels of Sami Tchak. The fact that the Togolese author's novels are deeply rooted literary recollection reveals a direct link between writing and social issues. Literary references become the structuring principle of his works, which often depict readers "erudite readers". "Ordinary people" as well as a large number of highly-educated persons often read only books from the canon, those by well-known authors. The representation of "Great" literature shows some ranking within the world of books. However, it especially shows the ways of these erudite …

La Métaphore De L'Œuvre Impossible Dans Le Roman Africain Contemporain, Josias Semujanga
La Métaphore De L'Œuvre Impossible Dans Le Roman Africain Contemporain, Josias Semujanga
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Many and varied, the figures of the book or the art are omnipresent in many literary works, and in various forms. They, sometimes, evoke the metaphor of the impossible work or the ambivalent status of the character writer in fiction. What are the functions of these figures in the narrative, and more particularly in the novel, and in the social discourse? In order to answer these questions, our study will focus on Henry Lopes' Le lys et le flamboyant, Alain Mabanckou's Verre Gasse, and Gilbert Gatore's Le passe devant soi, with occasional references to other novels to …
Formes Et Fonctions Du Métatexte Dans Le Cavalier Et Son Ombre De Boubacar Boris Diop, Morgan Faulkner
Formes Et Fonctions Du Métatexte Dans Le Cavalier Et Son Ombre De Boubacar Boris Diop, Morgan Faulkner
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This article examines the metatextual discourse elaborated in the novel Le cavalier et son ombre by Senegalese author Boubacar Boris Diop, a work in which reality and the imaginary are constantly confused and intertwined. This research looks at the forms and functions of metatextuality, which develop a reflection on the relationship between these two spheres (reality and fiction). Drawing notably from Gerard Genette's theories on the metatext and the metalepsis, this article examines how the novel highlights and critiques its own function as a literary text. What narrative practices does Diop use to reflect on the author, writing, words and …

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 …

Le Roman Policier Francophone : Entre Esthétique Et Politiques Du Genre En Afrique Et En Haïti, Lise Madeleine Mba Ekani
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
My dissertation, “Recasting Crime Fiction: The Francophone African and Haitian Crime Novel between Aesthetics and Politics”, investigates the social and literary meanings of the concept of politics as represented in African and Haitian crime novels. In this work, selected novels were examined considering their cultural, regional and linguistic particularities, as well as their perspectives on social criticism and politics. Drawing from fields such as sociocritical theory, philosophy, and history, this work allows for a more complex exploration of popular cultural productions while calling into question the literary genres. Consequently, it provides the opportunity to question cultural productions as an ideological …
