L'Afrique du nord au sud : poétique de l'espace dans la littérature maghrébine et africaine subsaharienne / Africa from north to the south : poetic of space in the maghreban and african subsaharian literature

Boughrara, Mohamed racim 17 November 2017 (has links)
À l’instar des romans africains et maghrébins qui s’inscrivent pour la plupart dans une perspective de confrontation avec le colonialisme, les textes que nous avons choisis peuvent se lire dans la perspective novatrice que Bertrand Westphal a significativement baptisée “géocritique”. Ces œuvres reflètent une esthétique qui puise sa particularité et sa richesse dans des origines hybrides, entre langue maternelle, d’éducation et langue de l’occupant ou de l’exil. Cette thèse est donc l’occasion de parcourir l’espace africain, créant ainsi un panorama de son horizon littéraire, notamment par l’étude des particularités de l’Afrique du nord et de l’Afrique subsaharienne ainsi que les rapports qu’elles entretiennent depuis la plus haute antiquité jusqu’à aujourd’hui. / Like most of African and Maghreb novels which are mostly enrolled with the confrontation of colonialism, the texts we have choosen can be read the original perspective that Bertrand Westphal has significantly named "geocritics". These works share an aesthetics of a richness which owes its originality to hybrid origins, between mother or learned tongue and occupant or exile language. This thesis is therefore an opportunity to explore the African space, shaping a panorama of its literary horizon, mainly by studying the particularities of North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa and the relationships that they maintain from the highest Antiquity until today.

La représentation de l'Afrique dans l'écriture littéraire italienne de la seconde moitié du XXème siècle / Representation of Africa in Literary Italian writing of the second half of the 20th Century

Akieudji, Colbert 05 December 2009 (has links)
Dans les textes des écrivains italiens de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, plusieurs éléments africains se détachent nettement. Cet ensemble de constituants physiques, humains, spatiaux et socioculturels est mis en forme à travers une multitude de procédés qui montrent d’une part une rhétorique particulière de l’expression de l’altérité et d’autre part un discours littéraire sur l’Afrique qui devient une réelle occasion de relecture et de réinterprétation des volumes de la "bibliothèque" des écrivains. Les images reflétées dans ces textes montrent un imaginaire italien sur l’Afrique caractérisé en majorité par des symboles de l’animalité, de l’obscurité et du déclin; d’où un souci de modernisation de l’image de l’Afrique chez les écrivains. Par ailleurs, c’est finalement l’Italie qui se regarde à travers le continent noir. Si l’on suppose une fonctionnalité de ce discours, on peut dire que les auteurs l’utilisent également pour revenir sur le passé colonial de leur pays, exprimer le drame de l’Afrique postcoloniale et dénoncer certains maux qui minent la société contemporaine. Une écriture autobiographique qui favorise la construction de l’identité individuelle des auteurs ainsi que celle collective de l’Italie, sans oublier le développement de la littérature et du cinéma. D’un côté, une étude diachronique montre que ce phénomène a considérablement évolué durant le XXe siècle italien, et ce à différents niveaux, de l’épitexte au traitement intratextuel de l’espace africain, le regard "pur" de l’époque contemporaine s’opposant aux visions coloniales de la période fasciste. D’un autre côté, une synchronie incluant des textes français amène à hypothiser une vision tout européenne du continent noir, bien que subsiste un regard propre à l’Italie, concernant la singularité du milieu africain. Finalement, l’on constate que les hétéro-images des écrivains italiens coïncident avec les auto-images des auteurs africains et que l’intérêt pour l’autre est réciproque entre les deux espaces. / In Italian writers’ texts of the second half of 20th Century, many African elements are particularly brought to light. This set of physical, human, spatial and socio-cultural constituents is textualized through a vast number of techniques which show on one hand a particular rhetoric of elsewhere expression and on the other hand that a literary discourse on Africa becomes a real opportunity to re-read and re-interpret the writers’ books. Images that are reflected in these texts show an Italian imaginary on Africa mostly characterized by primitive, mysterious and fall-oriented symbols, hence the worry to modernize the image of Africa by the writers. Therefore, Italy is finally seen through African continent. If one supposes the functionality of this discourse, one can say that the authors equally use it to dwell on the colonial past of their country, to express the tragedy of postcolonial Africa and to denounce some ills that damage the contemporary society. One has to do with an autobiographical writing that favors the construction of the authors’ individual identity as well as the collective identity of Italy, without leaving out the development of literature and cinema. On one side, a diachronic study shows that this phenomenon has considerably evolved during the Italian 20th Century, and this happens at various levels, from the epi-text to the intra-textual treatment of African space, the “pure” look of the contemporary epoch opposing itself to colonial visions of the fascist period. On the other side, a synchrony including French texts urges to set an hypothesis of a European vision of the African continent, although a look peculiar to Italy remains, concerning the singularity of the African milieu. Finally, one notices that hetero-images of Italian writers coincide with auto-images of African writers and that the interest to the other is reciprocal between the two spaces.

A language and storytelling centre

Ashworth, Jessica Clare 25 November 2008 (has links)
This dissertation explores the creation of a space that highlights culture and heritage through the study, documentation and expression of oral language. The space is within an established urban environment, responsive to its vibrant physical, historical and social African context. Pretoria is a complex construct of two different spatial perceptions; built by a society from european heritage but now used mostly by people with an african heritage who were excluded from the urban development processes until recently. The laws and systems used today are still based on european urban ideals and thereby spaces keep being created from a spatial perspective different to that of the actual city user who perceives space from a communal point of view. The focus on individual ownership needs to change to take advantage of the urban opportunities and complex relations that exist in the city. Democratic, non-prescriptive spaces that celebrate the community over the individual are created by focusing on spatial experience and appropriate contextual and social responses, rather than on creating aesthetically appealling objects in space. Such spaces will be adopted into the flows and connections of the city encouraging the users to engage with them and turning them into temporal and used, event spaces. The city therefore emerges as a backdrop to the stage of life. / Dissertation (MArch(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2009. / Architecture / unrestricted
