Book Description
Les faits divers, ces histoires vraies, incitent à la réflexion. Les textes présentés dans ce livre, anodins en apparence, montrent que la langue française au contact des langues locales congolaises n'est ni affaiblie, ni effacée ; elle est simplement empêchée d'observer et de dire individuellement jusqu'au bout ce qui pourrait être sa rigueur propre. Et quand, grâce à cette alchimie, le mot désigne la chose, alors le bénéfice est immense pour la relation du fait divers, comme pour le langage.

Blue White Red
Author: Alain Mabanckou
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253007941
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
“Mabanckou dazzles with technical dexterity and emotional depth” in his debut novel, winner of the Grand Prix Littéraire de l’Afrique Noire (Publishers Weekly, starred review). This tale of wild adventure reveals the dashed hopes of Africans living between worlds. When Moki returns to his village from France wearing designer clothes and affecting all the manners of a Frenchman, Massala-Massala, who lives the life of a humble peanut farmer after giving up his studies, begins to dream of following in Moki’s footsteps. Together, the two take wing for Paris, where Massala-Massala finds himself a part of an underworld of out-of-work undocumented immigrants. After a botched attempt to sell metro passes purchased with a stolen checkbook, he winds up in jail and is deported. Blue White Red is a novel of postcolonial Africa where young people born into poverty dream of making it big in the cities of their former colonial masters. Alain Mabanckou’s searing commentary on the lives of Africans in France is cut with the parody of African villagers who boast of a son in the country of Digol. Praise for Alain Mabanckou and Blue White Red “Mabanckou counts as one of the most successful voices of young African literature.” —Internationales Literaturfestival Berlin “The African Beckett.” —The Economist “Blue White Red stands at the beginning of the author’s remarkable and multifaceted career as a novelist, essayist and poet . . . this debut novel shows much of his style and substance in remarkable ways . . . Dundy’s translation is excellent.” —Africa Book Club “Mabanckou’s provocative novel probes the many facets of the ‘migration adventure.’” —Booklist

La langue française et le fait divers en Afrique noire francophone
Author: Jean-Alexis M'Foutou
Publisher: Editions L'Harmattan
ISBN: 2296102301
Category : Crime and the press
Languages : fr
Pages : 255
Book Description
Jean-Alexis Mfoutou qui étudie la relation du fait divers dans sept pays africains différents ayant en commun l'usage de la langue française montre que plus cette langue se déploie géographiquement, plus elle se diversifie - il faut toujours que la langue porte et dise le milieu physicoculturel du sujet parlant, et que la culture impose sa ligne à la langue -, forcée qu'elle est de témoigner de cette docilité qui est sienne, cette abnégation sans laquelle il n'est pas de langue vivante. Comment cette langue qui pénètre jusque dans les repaires de ceux qui volent, violent, pillent, assassinent et vont le plus loin dans l'abandon de leur humanité apparaît-elle? Qu'est-ce que la théorie du langage - cette théorie qui se rapporte à la fois à la nature du langage et à son fonctionnement dans la société - peut apporter à la compréhension du fait divers?
