Abstract There has been an increase in land grabbing in the world over the years and the trend seems to be increasing in the same direction. Whereas, the phenomenon is said to be happening across all continents except Antarctica, in this Africa is the primary target. Uganda too has not been spared and the discovery of oil in 2006 added an insult to an injury. Though, the phenomenon has lived with the world for some good time, it continues to happen with less efforts being made to curb it. As a result, a study was carried out to gain a deeper understanding of the drivers of land grabbing in Uganda’s Albertine Graben. It was a desk study and employed an abductive approach though some primary data was also collected to back it up. The political economy approach was employed to understand the different political and economic dynamics involved in land grabbing. The study found out the issue of absentee land lords and the discovery of oil in 2006 as the main reasons that explain the occurrence of the phenomenon something that is different from the many scholars’ view that agricultural reasons are the main cause. Land grabbing was further seen as mainly negative as it leads to loss of economic livelihoods, lack of cooking energy, displacement of people among others. The study learned that massive sensitization of the people about their rights; strict implementation of the existing laws by the government would help to reduce or solve the problem. Key words, Land grabbing, land acquisition, Albertine Graben, Bunyoro, political economy approach.

Le Cahier 46 de Marcel Proust est un cahier particulièrement important dans la genèse du roman proustien. Écrit principalement dans les années 1914 et 1915, il est un cahier de transition entre le roman d’avant-guerre et le roman tel qu’il sera publié après la guerre. Cette étude du Cahier 46 [volume I] qui s’appuie sur une transcription diplomatique intégrale du Cahier [volume II] est à la fois génétique et littéraire. Elle entend montrer que ce cahier est au cœur des bouleversements du roman, le lieu de naissance de cette prolifération interne qui a fait d’un roman en trois volumes un roman fleuve, le lieu aussi où l’on assiste à la métamorphose d’Albertine. Non seulement elle occupe une place de plus en plus importante dans l’œuvre mais surtout elle change de nature. D’une fille dont le héros « s’amourache » [Cahier 13, folio 28 r°], elle devient un personnage au destin tragique, nœud d’une histoire sans cesse réécrite qui permet de relier les grands thèmes du roman - la mort, la culpabilité, Gomorrhe et l’homosexualité - et de relire les relations du héros avec les personnages de la mère et de la grand-mère. L’analyse génétique du Cahier 46, écrit dans ce moment de crise, permet de poser quelques grands principes et de proposer une analyse précise de la pratique du brouillon de Proust ainsi que de mettre en évidence la réorganisation du roman à partir de l’année 1913 qui signe l’apparition d’Albertine. Ces éléments conduisent à une interprétation littéraire de cette métamorphose du roman sous la pression du personnage : le passage d’un roman des filles à un roman d’Albertine. / The Cahier 46 of Marcel Proust is one of the key exercise books to understand the growth of A la recherche du temps perdu. Proust wrote this exercise book mainly between 1914 and 1915. As such, it makes the transition from the novel as it had been planned by Proust before the First World War to the novel as it has been actually published after the war. Our study is based on a complete transcription of this exercise book [volume II] and proposes a literary criticism of it [volume I]. More precisely, the aim of the thesis is to show this exercise book is one of the focal points of the deep framework changes in A la recherche du temps perdu during the war: the former three volumes of the novel become a large novel mainly because of the metamorphosis of Albertine’s character. Within Cahier 46, Albertine’s character takes a twofold feature. Firstly, this character becomes one of the main characters of the novel. Secondly, the role of Albertine dramatically changes. Cahier 46 makes it possible to understand how the story which was still before 1914 only the one of a boy who falls in love with a girl becomes the one of a tragic story of love, continuously written and rewritten by Proust: a story about death, suspicion, culpability, Gomorrah and homosexuality. First, this study presents general principles and precise analyses about how Proust wrote, that is to say Proust’s practice of manuscripts. It then shows how the introduction of Albertine’s character results in deep changes in the framework of the novel after 1913. Finally, all these elements allow us to focus on a literary interpretation of these metamorphoses.

Embora o romance Em busca do tempo perdido seja incontestavelmente uma obra inacabada, não se trata, entretanto, de uma obra incompleta. Seu fechamento circular, promovido pelo diálogo entre o primeiro e último volumes, foi tema de grande parte da crítica proustiana. Com relação à sua composição, seu processo escritural passou por diversas mudanças e a construção, equiparada à execução de uma catedral, poderia igualmente ser caracterizada pela colagem, montagem ou costura dos fragmentos textuais esboçados nos setenta e cinco cadernos de rascunho. A busca pela unidade em meio a essa profusão de textos levou o escritor à atividade incessante de releitura e reescritura e, consequentemente, ao inacabamento da obra. O trabalho que ora apresentamos tem por objetivo o estudo dessa composição, a partir da leitura e análise dos cadernos 53 e 55, ambos consagrados à elaboração da história de Albertine. / Although the novel In Search of Lost Time is certainly unfinished, it is not an incomplete work. Its round ending, promoted by the dialogue between the first and last volumes, was the subject of much Proustian criticism. With respect to its composition, its writing process has gone through many changes and the construction, equivalent to the execution of a cathedral, could also be characterized by the process of montage or the stitching of textual fragments contained in Prousts seventy-five exercise books. The search for unity amongst this profusion of texts has led the writer to the ceaseless activity of rereading and rewriting and thus to the incompleteness of the work. The analysis presented here is aimed at studying this composition, having the reading and the analysis of exercise books 53 and 55, both related to the elaboration of the story of Albertine, as a starting point.
