Il Y A L'Autre Dans Le Je(U) : Le Monologue Chez Brian Friel, Noel Fitzpatrick

This conference paper (in French) explores the construction of interlocution in the monologues of Brian Friel's theatre. It proposes a novel means of analysis of the monologue by mobilising key developments in French pragmatic linguistic analysis of I and You and interlocution.


Beurs In The Hood: Coming Of Age In The Banlieue, Lauran Elam Jan 2006

Beurs In The Hood: Coming Of Age In The Banlieue, Lauran Elam

Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal

In November of 2005, riots broke out throughout the housing projects located in the suburbs of the major cities of France. This focused worldwide attention on the largely Muslim immigrant communities in France, and on the failure of the French government to fully integrate individuals of foreign extraction, namely Beurs. The term "Beur" is the French word "Arabe" reversed by language called Verlan that plays on French in much the same way that Pig Latin plays on English. Today "Beur" refers to the children of North African immigrants living in France who are, for the most pan, isolated to the …


Quelques Remarques Sur Les Belgicismes Métalinguistiques, Jean-Nicolas De Surmont Dec 2005

Quelques Remarques Sur Les Belgicismes Métalinguistiques, Jean-Nicolas De Surmont

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Of all Belgicisms, only a few have metalinguistic connotation and they have to be considered of special interest in this respect, even if the literature on French in Belgium has not addressed this issue specifically. This essay proposes some observations on these few important words, supported by recent lexicographical descriptions and data obtained through research undertaken in collaboration with Michel Francard of the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium).

Werewere Liking Et La Poétique Du Jeu Pour Libérer L'Imaginaire Postcolonial Africain, Kasereka Kavwahirehi Jun 2004

Werewere Liking Et La Poétique Du Jeu Pour Libérer L'Imaginaire Postcolonial Africain, Kasereka Kavwahirehi

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This essay addresses the issue of poetics and political stakes in Werewere Liking's novel, Elle sera de jaspe et de corail. While this novel has been presented as illustrative of the Negro-African aesthetics rooted in orality, the present article argues that Liking's poetics of hybridity is a postcolonial strategy whose aim is the liberation of African imagination and creativity. The essay ends by suggesting some similarities between Liking's project and that of the Congolese philosopher, especially in his philosophical essay, L'Afrique va-t-elle mourir? Bouscu/er l'imaginaire africain. Through their works, Ka Mana and Werewere Liking are examining the conditions for a …

L'Incipit Dans L'Œuvre D'Ahmadou Kourouma, Sélom Komlan Gbanou Dec 2002

L'Incipit Dans L'Œuvre D'Ahmadou Kourouma, Sélom Komlan Gbanou

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

The literary work can develop an internal identity as a particular mark. Several African writers incorporate into their novels indications of culture that derive from verbal arts. This method gives to the writing a particular aesthetic in between two cultures, creating in the writing an individuality of certain writers such as Ahmadou Kourouma. For him the question is not only to distort the French language to express his Malinke identity, but also to develop a method of incipit that belongs to verbal art.


Jeux De Miroirs : Kourouma L'Interprete?, Justin K. Bisanswa Dec 2002

Jeux De Miroirs : Kourouma L'Interprete?, Justin K. Bisanswa

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Critics have often tended to show how Ahmadou Kourouma has expressed the disillusionment of the African "suns of the independences," ''tropicalized" the French language by bending its syntax to fit that of Malinke, and produced novels for "occidental importation" on the basis of oral texts. From a standpoint of sociopragmatics, in contradistinction, I would like to detail the internal specificity of Kourouma's fictional text by its means of production by analyzing it with respect to its cycle of production in terms of strategies, the writer's itinerary, its placement at the center of the literary field, etc. In addition, I will …


Créativité Esthétique Et Enrichissement Du Français Dans La Prose Romanesque D'Ahmadou Kourouma, Gerard Marie Noumssi, Rodolphine Sylvie Wamba Dec 2002

Créativité Esthétique Et Enrichissement Du Français Dans La Prose Romanesque D'Ahmadou Kourouma, Gerard Marie Noumssi, Rodolphine Sylvie Wamba

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

It becomes clear that Ahmadou Kourouma's literary work is marked by the predominance of authentically African techniques of expression (semantax). With this in mind, the present study tries to analyse its linguistic manifestations as techniques of aesthetic creativity and of the enrichment of the French language through the writing of novels. This is why we have serialized and described the expressive neologies in the corpus of our study while pointing out their stylistic effects: the Negro-African imagery. Still in the same perspective the strategies identified and analyzed help to illustrate a narrative polyphony resulting from highly oralized contexts with the …


Simplification And Personalization Of French Grammar, Regina Dee Jan 2002

Simplification And Personalization Of French Grammar, Regina Dee

MA TESOL Collection

The materials included in this project have been developed as a result of my emerging understanding of French grammar since I began studying it in 1976. I began teaching a French Activities class in 1986 to eighth graders at St. Andrews and third and fourth graders at an elementary school in Baltimore as a student at Morgan State University. While I was completing my student teaching at Baltimore City College Preparatory School, I found that my students had difficulties understanding textbook explanations. I therefore began to create my own explanations during sessions when students came for after school help. I …


Déchirement Ou Délivrance : Écriture Autobiographique Dans Les Saisons De Passage D'Andrée Chedid, Le Bonheur À La Queue Glissante D'Abla Farhoud Et La Prisonnière De Malika Oufkir Et Michèle Fitoussi, Samira Fahroud Jan 2002

Déchirement Ou Délivrance : Écriture Autobiographique Dans Les Saisons De Passage D'Andrée Chedid, Le Bonheur À La Queue Glissante D'Abla Farhoud Et La Prisonnière De Malika Oufkir Et Michèle Fitoussi, Samira Fahroud

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Three women narrate their lives in French, the colonist's language, instead of in Arabic, their mother tongue. They pay homage to their families in order to rid themselves of guilty and revengeful feelings. In Les saisons de passage and Le bonheur a la queue glissante, Andree Chedid and Abla Farhoud express their love for an absent mother, who represents both the rebellious and submissive arabic woman. In La prisonniere, Malika Oufkir denounces the king's injustice for having condemned Oufkir's family for life and General Oufkir to death because he attempted a military putch against Hassan II. These three stories …

Itinéraires Spatio-Temporels: Exil, Nomadisme, Diaspora Chez Nancy Hudson, Régine Robin Et Émile Ollivier, Joëlle Vitello Jan 2002

Itinéraires Spatio-Temporels: Exil, Nomadisme, Diaspora Chez Nancy Hudson, Régine Robin Et Émile Ollivier, Joëlle Vitello

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

In this essay, I explore various dimensions of theoretical terms such as exile, nomadism, diaspora, and border. These terms have a temporal and spatial dimension. They are not equivalent to each other and they generate different kinds of identity narratives. In fact, in their strict definitions, as John Durham Peters demonstrates, they oppose each other. Yet, in contemporary texts, fiction and non- fiction, regardless of the individual experiences portrayed, they are also often intertwined. It is the complex mobility of the terms that define the fields of research associated with migration, literary or not, that I render apparent in the …


La Poésie Comme Terre D'Asile Dans L'Œuvre De Tahar Bekri, Sonia Lee Jan 2002

La Poésie Comme Terre D'Asile Dans L'Œuvre De Tahar Bekri, Sonia Lee

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

In this essay, I propose to examine how in Tahar Bekri's poetry, the theme of exile is gradually negated through the poetic universe of the poet, thus acting as a replacement for the loss of the motherland.


Paul (Smaïl) Et Le Loup: De La Carna Comme Un Des Beaux-Arts, Mireille Rosello Jan 2002

Paul (Smaïl) Et Le Loup: De La Carna Comme Un Des Beaux-Arts, Mireille Rosello

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Since the publication of Vivre me tue in 1997, Paul Smaïl's published statements about the necessity for a "Beur" writer to protect his dignity and his freedom behind a pseudonym have generated a significant layer of metafiction which this essay proposes to examine. An analysis of Smaïl's different types of narrative accounts will help us elucidate the cultural and literary effects produced by the writer's strategy.


Re-Bonjour À La Négritude: La Question De La «Race» Dans Un Roman Des Années 90, L'Impasse De Daniel Biyaoula, Lydie Moudileno Jan 2002

Re-Bonjour À La Négritude: La Question De La «Race» Dans Un Roman Des Années 90, L'Impasse De Daniel Biyaoula, Lydie Moudileno

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

While it had somewhat disappeared as a central preoccupation in recent African fiction, the issue of "race" comes up in a striking way in Daniel Biyaoula's first novel, L 'impasse. Published in 1996, L'impasse sets out to expose through the eye of a rather cynical first-person narrator the neurotic nature of postcolonial subjects' relation to his/her racialized origin. Focusing on the body as a site of authenticity or alienation, the novel can be read as a contemporary and creative version of the "Black experience" as Franz Fanon theorized it almost half a century before in Black Skin White Masks. This …

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This article examines the various trajectories and destinations of Ha'itian writing through its recent developments. It explores the interaction between the island, exile and memory. It also addresses the question of the space of writing and of publishing.


Traversée De L'Angoisse Et Poétique De L'Espoir Chez Malika Mokeddem, Margot Miller Jan 2002

Traversée De L'Angoisse Et Poétique De L'Espoir Chez Malika Mokeddem, Margot Miller

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Psychological detachment is often presented as an exile from which there is no return. The works of Malika Mokeddem illustrate the lack of social support for psychic space of the individual who passes through anxiety and ends in psychological detachment. This article proposes to show, in L 'interdite and N'zid, how Mokeddem affirms nevertheless hope for recovery from this state. It also demonstrates the link between hope and mobility of the body, as well as of words, which must cross the spaces of anxiety in order to find community and the "inestimable freedom" (L'interdite, p. 132) that support and permit …


Voies Et Champs Du Feu Dans L'Œuvre Romanesque De Farjallah Haïk, Georges Khoriaty Jan 2002

Voies Et Champs Du Feu Dans L'Œuvre Romanesque De Farjallah Haïk, Georges Khoriaty

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

In the fiction of Farjallah Hark, fire and heat constitute distinguished means of expression in various fields. In his conception of fire, there is an intermingling between what is natural and what is social; good and evil are both employed, and a group of complexes are formed, such as the Promethee complex, the Empedocle complex, or the Novalis complex. Fire, in the view of Ha'ik, has several forms: sexual fire which moves the body instinct; cathartic or purgatorial fire which allows the sublimation of inclinations, and the rebellious fire which destroys all that is fixed in man, and the fire …
