Annotation

English

The lecture presents the situation in francophone countries in Africa, America, Antilles and in the Middle East in the 20th and the 21st century from historical, cultural and literary point of view. The aim is to present the francophone literatures (Quebec, Maghreb, Sub- Saharan Africa, Antilles etc.) through the analysis of extracts from principal “classical” texts (Chamoiseau, Glissant, Césaire) as well as of texts by contemporary authors (Depestre, Mabanckou, Slimani, Kundera). A critical theoretical reflection – postcolonial theories – e.g. Edward Saïd (Orientalism, 1978; Culture and Imperialism, 1993), Gayatri Chakraworthy Spivak (Can the Subaltern Speak?, 1988), Homi K. Bhabha (The Location of Culture, 1994) or Bill Ashcroft (The Empire Writes Back: Theory and Practice in Postcolonial Literatures, 1989) and Jean-Marc Moura, Jean-Louis Joubert. The main movements and tendencies, literary terms. The lecture is held in French (C1-C2 level).
