Cette thèse analysera les façons diverses qu’Ousmane Sembène a mélangé la distinction binaire entre victime et oppresseur, femme et opposant, à travers des intrigues, des personnages, des symboles visuels, et des scènes allégoriques dans ses deux derniers films ; Faat Kiné et Moolaadé. / Master of Arts / Faat Kiné et Moolaadé démontrent clairement que Sembène s’est éloigné d’une certaine construction binaire dans ses représentations des femmes ; celle de victime/ oppresseur. Cette thèse explorera les diverses façons que Sembène problématise l’existence de ces deux pôles dans ses deux derniers films.

Faculty of Humanities School of Literature and Language Studies 0413458h edwardmooka@yahoo.com / This study explores the forms of masculinity which occur in a crisis situation as represented in Sembene Ousmane’s colonial text God’s Bits of Wood. The study relies on the theories of Robert Connell, Judith Butler, Judith Halberstam, and Ifi Amadiume amongst others in identifying the masculinities in the novel. The introduction discusses issues of masculinity and looks at how different types of masculinity have been defined, especially in relation to power. Chapter one focuses on the white hegemonic masculinities. Chapter two looks at black workers’ masculinities which were marked by opposition, complicity, and cowardice. The third chapter analyses the female masculinities and the violent boyhood masculinity that were forged during the crisis. The conclusion summarizes the arguments in the preceding chapters and indicates how Sembene Ousmane’s novel dispels certain stereotypes of black masculinity.

Guelwaar, à l’opposé des autres œuvres de Sembène Ousmane – dont les films sont tirés de nouvelles et de romans- a suivi le sens inverse du schéma classique de l’adaptation en ce qu’il est un film devenu roman. Une telle particularité fait que notre travail suit deux parcours : de l’écrit à l’écran et de l’écran à l’écrit. La fonction narrative de Sembène qui représente dans l’écriture l’art du conte africain constitue le point commun entre un bon nombre de travaux sur l’œuvre littéraire et filmique de Sembène Ousmane. A partant du narratif pris en charge par le « griot-conteur », notre étude tient à montrer que le langage de l’œuvre de Sembène n’est pas seulement narratif, il est aussi « monstratif » et surtout visuel, lequel langage occupe une part importante dans la lecture du livre et du film de Sembène Ousmane. / Guelwaar, contrary to other works of Sembène Ousmane - Films of which are pulled by news and by novels, followed the inverse sense of the classic plan of the adaptation in the fact that it is a film become novel. Such a peculiarity makes that our work follows two courses: of the paper in the screen and the screen to the paper.The narrative function of Sembène which represents in the writing the art of the African tale constitutes the common point enter a good many of works on the literary and cinematic work of Sembène Ousmane. In leaving of narrative taken care by the "griot-storyteller", our study is anxious to show that the language of the work of Sembène is not only narrative,He is also " monstratif " and especially visual, who language occupies an important part in the reading of the book and the film of Sembène Ousmane.
