Publisher's Synopsis
Ahmadou Kourouma, a writer from Côte d'Ivoire, made his literary debut by making African values his own. Despite the alienation that imposed the colonial script and language on the African people, Kourouma's writing has never ceased to influence them and to present itself as composite, polyphonic and atypical, bringing the concept of creation to bear. From this came our choice of works including Les soleil des indépendances, En attendant le vote des bêtes sauvages, Monnè outrage et défi, Allah n'est pas obligé, quand on refuse on dit non. This gave us the idea of reflecting on the theme of "Novel creation and the problem of language in Ahmadou Kourouma's work". In order to tackle our subject, we have drawn up a study plan based on three essential and complementary axes, each subdivided into three chapters with the support of sociocriticism, semiotics, psychocriticism and narratology.
