Download or read book The Politics of Translating Sound Motifs in African Fiction written by Laurence Jay-Rayon Ibrahim Aibo and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2020-02-15 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting with the premise that aesthetic choices reveal the ideological stances of translators, the author of this research monograph examines works of fiction by postcolonial African authors writing in English or French, the genesis and reception of their works, and the translation of each one into French or English. Texts include those by Nuruddin Farah from Somalia, Abdourahman Ali Waberi from Djibouti, Jean-Marie Adiaffi from Côte d’Ivoire, Ayi Kwei Armah from Ghana, Chenjerai Hove from Zimbabwe, and Assia Djebar from Algeria, and their translations by Jacqueline Bardolph, Jeanne Garane, Brigitte Katiyo, Jean-Pierre Richard, Josette and Robert Mane, and Dorothy Blair. The author highlights the aural poetics of these works, explores the sound motifs underlying their literary power, and shows how each is articulated with the writer’s literary heritage. She then embarks on a close examination of each translator’s background, followed by a rich analysis of their treatments of sound. The translators’ strategies for addressing sound motifs are contextualized in the larger framework of postcolonial literatures and changing reading materialities.
Download or read book Centers and Peripheries in Romance Language Literatures in the Americas and Africa written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is center and periphery? How can centers and peripheries be recognized by their ontological and axiological features? How does the axiological saturation of a literary field condition aesthetics? How did these factors transform center-periphery relationships to the former metropolises of Romance literatures of the Americas and Africa? What are the consequences of various deperipheralization contexts and processes for poetics? Using theoretical sections and case studies, this book surveys and investigates the limits of globalization. Through explorations of the intercultural dynamics, the aesthetic contributions of former peripheries are examined in terms of the transformative nature of peripheries on centralities.

Download or read book La question du picaresque dans la litt rature africaine written by Bidy Cyprien Bodo and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2016 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Peut-on parler d'une écriture picaresque dans le champ littéraire africain? Ce paradigme y est-il opérationnel? Dans un tel cas, comment est-il mis en scène? Comment se manifeste-t-il? C'est à cette problématique qu'a tenté de répondre ce premier collectif de chercheurs de diverses universités portant exclusivement sur le picaresque dans les écritures africaines. Les contributeurs interrogent l'architecture, la scénographie, le discours et dans une certaine mesure les enjeux d'une écriture picaresque africaine à travers ses invariants et 'variants', sa permanence et son renouveau. La reterritorialisation du picaresque dans l'espace littéraire africain est une expression de sa vitalité en ce qu'elle induit 'la dynamique des genres' (Semujanga) dans une 'fusion des imaginaires' (Foucault). Son opérationnalité dans les écritures africaines en fait à la fois un mode d'écriture et un outil remarquable d'analyse littéraire étant donné l'ampleur des écritures de la marginalité et de l'intranquillité."--Page 4 de la couverture
Download or read book Art from Trauma written by Rangira Béa Gallimore and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-08 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the role of aesthetic expression in responding to discrimination, tragedy, violence, even genocide? How does gender shape responses to both literal and structural violence, including implicit linguistic, familial, and cultural violence? How might writing or other works of art contribute to healing? Art from Trauma: Genocide and Healing beyond Rwanda explores the possibility of art as therapeutic, capable of implementation by mental health practitioners crafting mental health policy in Rwanda. This anthology of scholarly, personal, and hybrid essays was inspired by scholar and activist Chantal Kalisa (1965–2015). At the commemoration of the nineteenth anniversary of the genocide in Rwanda, organized by the Rwandan Embassy in Washington DC, Kalisa gave a presentation, “Who Speaks for the Survivors of the Genocide against Tutsi?” Kalisa devoted her energy to giving expression to those whose voices had been distorted or silenced. The essays in this anthology address how the production and experience of visual, dramatic, cinematic, and musical arts, in addition to literary arts, contribute to healing from the trauma of mass violence, offering preliminary responses to questions like Kalisa’s and honoring her by continuing the dialogue in which she participated with such passion, sharing the work of scholars and colleagues in genocide studies, gender studies, and francophone literatures.

Download or read book Probl matique de Renaissance et volution du roman africain de langue fran aise 1920 1980 written by Gervais Havyarimana and published by Presses univ. de Louvain. This book was released on 1992 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage brosse un panorama du roman africain de langue française, entendu ici sous la double appartenance de l'Afrique noire et de la langue française. Si le français reste une langue minoritaire en Afrique, il a suscité une littérature abondante qui est envisagée ici en termes de renaissance. En effet, notamment sous l’impulsion des mouvements d’émancipation nord-américain et haïtien, on assiste à l’émergence d’une petite élite intellectuelle et artistique à Paris, au début du XXe siècle, qui ne peut concevoir son développement qu’en réaction à la connotation raciale de son exploitation historique. L’Afrique de l’origine, au-delà du mythe, apparaît donc comme le lieu privilégié de cette renaissance, qui s’exprime d’abord fortement au travers du panafricanisme et à l’ambition de produire une œuvre à l’échelle d’un continent, forte et neuve, qui pour se rénover va puiser aux sources populaires, aux mythes, aux contes. Cependant, la dimension du combat n’est pas oubliée, et des productions majeures comme les negro spirituals s’articulent à des thèmes de lutte, d’émancipation, de justice, ainsi qu’à toute une sociologie urbaine. À Haïti, qui dans son premier siècle d’existence avait surtout perpétué les clivages coloniaux, y compris sur le plan culturel, le créole va faire figure de trait d’union entre le peuple et l’élite. Genre littéraire inconnu en Afrique avant la colonisation, le roman, par sa plasticité et sa « sociabilité », finit par s’imposer comme un genre majeur, puissant véhicule de thèmes aussi forts que l’identité et l’héritage. L’ère des indépendances va lui donner un grand essor, en découpant l’histoire du continent en trois temps : avant, pendant et après la colonisation.
Download or read book Digital Technologies and African Societies written by Julien Atchoua and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integration and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in African countries is increasingly observable in various sectors of activity (banking, education, trade, etc.) despite a digital divide still relevant. ICT has become a major sector of the recent growth of a new informal economy in African cities (Chéneau-Loquay, 2008). This question has been at the heart of various international meetings. An overall positive and even utopian momentum is generally heard about the contribution of digital technologies to the development of African states. The adoption or appropriation of digital technologies by Africans is presented in many speeches by politicians or institutions involved in the field of cooperation and international development as an important issue for the development of this continent. These different considerations give rise to reflections on the following themes. - Social Media and Public Space in Africa - Challenges of the digital economy in Africa - ICT and modernization of higher education in Africa
Download or read book Forbidden Grounds written by Richard A. Epstein and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 980 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This controversial book presents a powerful argument for the repeal of anti-discrimination laws within the workplace. These laws--frequently justified as a means to protect individuals from race, sex, age, and disability discrimination--have been widely accepted by liberals and conservatives alike since the passing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and are today deeply ingrained in our legal culture. Richard Epstein demonstrates that these laws set one group against another, impose limits on freedom of choice, undermine standards of merit and achievement, unleash bureaucratic excesses, mandate inefficient employment practices, and cause far more invidious discrimination than they prevent. Epstein urges a return to the common law principles of individual autonomy that permit all persons to improve their position through trade, contract, and bargain, free of government constraint. He advances both theoretical and empirical arguments to show that competitive markets outperform the current system of centralized control over labor markets. Forbidden Grounds has a broad philosophical, economic, and historical sweep. Epstein offers novel explanations for the rational use of discrimination, and he tests his theory against a historical backdrop that runs from the early Supreme Court decisions, such as Plessy v. Ferguson which legitimated Jim Crow, through the current controversies over race-norming and the 1991 Civil Rights Act. His discussion of sex discrimination contains a detailed examination of the laws on occupational qualifications, pensions, pregnancy, and sexual harassment. He also explains how the case for affirmative action is strengthened by the repeal of employment discrimination laws. He concludes the book by looking at the recent controversies regarding age and disability discrimination. Forbidden Grounds will capture the attention of lawyers, social scientists, policymakers, and employers, as well as all persons interested in the administration of this major
Download or read book New Approaches to Twentieth century Travel Literature in French written by Charles Forsdick and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the postcolonial perspective of the early twenty-first century, the importance of travel literature, for considerations of national and international cultures and identities, has become increasingly apparent. Travel literature in French has, however, received little critical scrutiny. This book contributes to contemporary reassessments of the form in a number of disciplines, focusing specifically on the discourses and contexts of travel in twentieth-century texts written in French. Its scope is interdisciplinary, involving theoretical and generic considerations as well as a historical overview of colonial and postcolonial texts. The book provides essential reading for all students of travel literature in French - and of travel literature in general.
Download or read book Transgression in Swahili Narrative Fiction and its Reception written by Rémi Armand Tchokothe and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2014 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book remarkably analyses the development of recent Swahili prose narrative. The main thesis is that since the 90s, Swahili literature has developed to go beyond aspects that had hitherto conditioned literature in African languages (local, popular and didactic) and has opened itself to global, sophisticated and subversive perspectives. Remi Tchokothe uses the leitmotif of transgression as the unifying thread to render an account of this evolution of the Swahili narrative fiction towards the disruption of narrative linearity, an increase in intertextual references, an awareness of globalisation in political analysis and a shift to magical realism. The finishing touch to the analysis is a meticulously conducted reception survey which highlights editorial ambiguities that go with the transgressive turn." -- Xavier Garnier, U. Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3 (Series: Contributions to Research on Africa / Beitrage zur Afrikaforschung - Vol. 56)
Download or read book The Colonial Fortune in Contemporary Fiction in French written by Oana Panaïté and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Colonial Fortune highlights the features of a paracolonial aesthetics emanating from a significant body of contemporary Hexagonal and non-metropolitan texts. Authored by writers who are either directly involved in the debate about the colonial past and its remanence (J. M. G. Le Clézio, Paule Constant, Édouard Glissant, Tierno Monénembo, Marie NDiaye, and Leïla Sebbar) or who do not overtly manifest such concerns (Stéphane Audeguy, Marie Darrieussecq, Régis Jauffret, Pierre Michon, and Claude Simon), these works create a shared imaginary space permeated by the symbolic, rhetorical, and conceptual presence colonialism in our postcolonial era. The paracolonial describes the phenomena of revival, resurgence, remanence, and residue - in other words, the permanence of the colonial in contemporary imagination. It also addresses the re-imagining, revisiting, and recasting of the colonial in current works of literature (fiction, autobiography, and essay). The idea of the colonial fortune emerges as an interface between our era's concerns with issues of fate, economics, legacy, and debt stemming from the understudied persistence of the colonial in today's political and cultural conversation, and literature's ways of making sense of them both sensorially and sensibly.
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Literature and Trauma written by Colin Davis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary trauma studies is a rapidly developing field which examines how literature deals with the personal and cultural aspects of trauma and engages with such historical and current phenomena as the Holocaust and other genocides, 9/11, climate catastrophe or the still unsettled legacy of colonialism. The Routledge Companion to Literature and Trauma is a comprehensive guide to the history and theory of trauma studies, including key concepts, consideration of critical perspectives and discussion of future developments. It also explores different genres and media, such as poetry, life-writing, graphic narratives, photography and post-apocalyptic fiction, and analyses how literature engages with particular traumatic situations and events, such as the Holocaust, the Occupation of France, the Rwandan genocide, Hurricane Katrina and transgenerational nuclear trauma. Forty essays from top thinkers in the field demonstrate the range and vitality of trauma studies as it has been used to further the understanding of literature and other cultural forms across the world.
