Linguistic imperialism : a study of language and yoruba rituals in Wole Soyinka’s Death and the king’s horsemanKarimi, Golnar 08 1900 (has links)
L’objectif de ce mémoire est de démontrer le rôle important de la langue dans la pièce de théâtre
Death and the King’s Horseman par l’auteur nigérian Wole Soyinka. Le premier chapitre traite
les implications de l'écriture d'un texte postcolonial dans la langue anglaise et revisite les débats
linguistiques des années 1950 et 1960. En plus de l'anglais, ce mémoire observe l'utilisation
d'autres formes de communication telles que l'anglais, le pidgin nigérian, les dialectes locaux et
les métaphores Yoruba. Par conséquent, l'intersection entre la langue et la culture devient
évidente à travers la description des rituels. La dernière partie de ce mémoire explore l'objectif
principal de Soyinka de créer une «essence thrénodique». Avec l'utilisation de masques rituels,
de la danse et de la musique, il développe un type de dialogue qui dépasse les limites de la
forme écrite et est accessible seulement à ceux qui sont équipés de sensibilités culturelles
Yoruba. / The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate the significant role of language in the development of
the play Death and King’s Horseman by Nigerian author Wole Soyinka. The first chapter
discusses the implications of writing a postcolonial text in the English language and revisits the
language debates of the 1950s and 1960s. In addition to English, the thesis observes the use of
other forms of communication such as Nigerian Pidgin English, local dialects, and Yoruba
metaphors. Consequently, the intersection between language and culture becomes apparent
through the description of the rituals. The final section of the thesis explores Soyinka’s primary
focus of creating a “threnodic essence.” With the use of ritual masks, dance and music, he
develops a type of dialogue that transcends the written form and is accessible only to those who
are equipped with Yoruba cultural sensibilities.

The theme of protest and its expression in S. F. Motlhake's poetryTsambo, T. L. (Theriso Louisa) 06 1900 (has links)
In the Apartheid South Africa, repression and the heightening of the Blacks' struggle
for political emancipation, prompted artists to challenge the system through their
music, oral poetry and writing. Most produced works of protest in English to reach a
wider audience. This led to the general misconception that literatures in the
indigenous languages of South Africa were insensitive to the issues of those times.
This study seeks firstly to put to rest such misconception by proving that there is
Commitment in these literatures as exemplified in the poetry of S.F. Motlhake.
Motlhake not only expresses protest against the political system of the time, but also
questions some religious and socio-cultural practices and institutions among his
people. The study also examines his selected works as genuine poetry, which does not
sacrifice art on the altar of propaganda. / African Languages / M.A. (African Languages)
