Ambroise Kom : Ce Que S’Indigner Veut Dire. Notes Provisoires Sur Une Figure De La Résistance, Valentin Siméon Zinga

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

The purpose of this contribution is to gauge the originality, consistency and coherence of the approaches that underpin the specificity of Ambroise Kom’s intellectual trajectory. Thus, it questions the theoretical basis of this posture, by examining the articulation of his theoretical positions and his praxis. Drawing, among other benchmarks, on the experience of the Université des Montagnes in Cameroon, the study establishes that beyond the prevailing taxonomies, the academic escapes the fixity that would otherwise sever his deployment from a decisive part of his approach.
