Item The spirit child(Spectrum Books Limited, Ibadan, 2005) Sanusi, R.Item Item La langue d'Ahmadou Kourouma dans Allah n'est pas oblige et quand on refuse on dit non ou la decentralisation du francais dit academique(Department of European Studies, University of Ibadan, 2007) Sanusi, R.Dans Allah n'est pas oblige et Quand on refuse on dit non, Kourouma degrade le franpais dit academique et embrasse une langue injurieuse pour peindre la scene de la guerre en exposant avec amertume la malediction postcoloniale en Afrique. Le present article met en relief le style de kourouma dans ses demieres oeuvres ou l'auteur ivoirien fait une violation fragrante des regies du franpais dit academique. De meme, Kourouma se revele comme un ecrivain paradoxal etant donne que le franpais petit negre cohabite avec le franpais standard parle par Fanta dans Ouand on refuse on dit non. L'article se termine sur un ton polemique : le franpais standard restera-t-il a jamais un legs colonial dans cette Afrique en metamorphose ou 1'ancien colonise se forge une nouvelle identite sur le plan langagier ?Item Item Contre vents et marées, je mène ma barque entretien avec regina yaou(2007) Sanusi, R.Item Madness and free association in Evelyne Mpoudi Ngolle's Sous la cendre le feu(Department of European Studies, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2007) Olayinka, E. B.Psychoanalytic insight facilitates the analysis of works of art through which literary analysts are able to access the psyche of authors and their character. (M.M. Schwartz and D. Willbern:1982). One of such psychoanalytic device is free association. Free association technique applied during psychotherapy sessions provides a royal road into a psyche of humans as can be observed in Mina’s case in Mpoudi Ngolle’s Sous la cendre le feu. This paper concludes that repression of negative and unpleasant experiences lived within patriarchal limitations as promoted by African male hegemonic traditions, subjects women-victim of oppression to anxiety disorder which may occur in the form of depression, schizophrenia, obsessive disorder, depersonalization, derealisation among others. It seems natural to think about literature in terms of dreams. Like dreams, literary works are fictions, inventions of the mind that, although based on reality, are by definition not literary true. Like a literary work, a dream may have some truth to tell, but, like a literary work can be grasped. (R.C. Murfin, (internet article: accessed 30 May, 2011: 502)Item Lecture réaliste magique dans cent ans de solitude de Gabriel Garcia Marquez(Department of European Studies University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2007-04) Iyiola, A.Plusieurs critiques littéraires des pays postcoloniaux, dont Flores, Slemon et Geoff Hancock, ont noté le rapport entre le roman réaliste magique et une attitude postcoloniale vis-à-vis de l'Histoire. Dans un roman réaliste magique, selon Carpentier et ses nombreux disciples, on voit le portrait d'une collectivité de la classe paysanne qui vit à une époque pré-technologique, qui a beaucoup de traditions orales et qui accèpte que la réalité soit plus bizarre que la fiction. Cet article a pour objectif de voir les éléments du réalisme magique dans Cent ans de Solitude de Gabriel Garcia Marquez.Item From moukoury, bâ and rawiri: where are the essential husbands?(2008) Sanusi, R.The entrance of Francophone African women writers into African literary field marks a new era. Kuoh Moukoury’s Rencontres essentielles (1969) considered a ground breaking piece received applause in academic circle when it was published. This paper focuses on the mutation of initially loving and caring husbands of female personae of Kuoh Moukoury, Ba and Rawiri’s novels. The following question is central to this article: “Why did the husbands of the female protagonists of the selected texts turned into unfaithful husbands and why are these women treated as ‘non-being’ like Medea in Euripides," and "What led to the metamorphosis of especially female characters in Ba and Rawiri’s works?” Antonio Gramsci’s theory on subalternity is adopted to analyze the texts and to see the evolution of the female protagonists who engage in struggle to destroy cultural and patriarchal ethos that enslave them.Item Language and social reality in Mongo Beti's trop de soleil tue l'amour and branle-bas en noir et blanc(Department of Foreign Languages, University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom, Nigeria, 2009) Sanusi, R.Mongo Beti occupies a central place in African literary field. His novels are often marked with a revolutionary cachet for political and social situations around him dictate the tone of his writings. This article examines the language and social reality in Mongo Bed's Trop de soleil tue I’amour (1999) and Branle-bas en noir et blanc (2000). In a humorous, ironic and satiric style coloured with an African French, the author openly decries the bitter realities of the social, political and economic situations in Cameroon and concludes by warning the leaders about the dangers awaiting the country should they fail to listen to the voices of minority.Item Mongo beti, le PCB : symbolique du temps et de l’espace(2009) Sanusi, R.Item The oppressor is oppressed and in a pathological state too: Calixthe Beyala and Bauchi Emecheta's male characters(Department of European Studies, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2010) Olayinka, E. B.Item Le bistouri des larmes(2010) Sanusi, R.Item Septieme printemps: poemes/poems(Graduke Publishers, Ibadan, 2010) Sanusi, R.Item The francophone African novel: historical perspective(Department of Foreign Languages, University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, 2010) Sanusi, R.A majority of African critics argue that literature long existed in Africa in the form of oral tradition. Novel-writing in Africa, however, can be traced back to the historical situations created by colonization. Suffice it to say that novel-writing in Africa manifested itself in different stages: a.) The French colonial novel; b.) The Emergence of the French African novel; c.) The emergence of writing by women. Each of these stages was marked by narratives and counter-narratives to debunk the misdeeds of colonizers; attack the new African leaders or correct the erroneous image given to African woman by her male counterpart in his early writings. Leaning on John Beverly’s theory on Subalternity and Representation, one notes how at various historical/literary stages, the rapport de force between the colonizer and the colonized on one hand, and the African man/woman on the other hand, was played out. The paper concludes that novel-writing in Africa since its inception has played a utilitarian function.Item La revolution franfaise de 1789: que sera desormais la femme?(Department of European Studies, University of Ibadan, 2010) Sanusi, R.Item Appel des communications ou arenes: etude du realisme magique dans uappel des Arenes d’Aminata sow fall(Publication of the Department of European Studies, University of Ibadan, 2010) Sangotade, A. D.Item Femme africaine et romanciers africains: mimétisme ou affirmation?(2010) Sanusi, R.The stereotyped portrayal of African woman by Francophone African male writers often generates debates. Considering the relevance of this issue to our essay, we will first have a critical look at the texts written by male writers. Second, we will examine the consciousness/coming into writing of Francophone African women writers, to denounce and correct the false image given to the woman. This article will also shed light on the existing disagreement between Western feminists and their African sisters on the historical and socio-cultural context that constitute the focal point around which African feminism otherwise known as third world feminism revolves. To end, we will advocate a possible cooperation between these two feminist blocs -Western and African feminism.Item African feminism/western feminism: contradictory or complementary(2010) Sanusi, R.The term feminism is very complex to define as Chandra Mohanty admits in her introduction to Third World Women and the Politics of Feminism. This essay looks at the heated debate often generated by discourse on African and Western feminisms and concludes that even though there are differences between them as a result of their cultural and socio-contexts, they can still borrow a lot from each other.Item Mama tutu et cris negres (contes et poemes)(Graduke Publishers, Ibadan, 2010) Sanusi, R.Item Sembène ousmane de l´écrit à l’écran : une didactique sans fin(University French Teachers’ Association of Nigeria, 2010) Sanusi, R.Le present article se penche sur l’engagement et sur la fonction clidactique des films de Sembene Ousmane. un artiste aux competences plurielles.
