Item Sentiments caches : recueil de poemes feministes et autres(Ibadan University Press, Publishing House, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2023) Olayinka, E. B.Item Behind the curtains. A collection of feminist poems and others(Ibadan University Press, Publishing House, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2020) Olayinka, E. B.Item And the men backed down! while Deborah led the war(Department of Religious Studies, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2022) Olayinka, E. B.Women of all ages have been major players on world stage. In the course of history, the narrative was manipulated leading to women being marginalised in the scheme of things in the socio-economic and political realms while men take the centre stage. The fields of gender and feminist studies are fertile grounds for the discourse on obliteration of women and their positive contribution to human development. The biblical example of Deborah in the book of Judges was used in the discussion of this theme. A critical analysis of Deborah's contributions to the restoration of Israel to God and its socio-political development was undertaken deploying Judith Butler's theory of performativity. This paper foregrounds that the basis for classifying women as subservient to the male gender in all endeavours of life is unfounded. Even though malestreaming of human endeavours is somewhat intractable, recent discoveries in the fields of gender and feminist studies are exposing the facticity of female performance of acts that male supremacist cultures fail to credit to amazons from antiquity to modem days.Item Morphing restrictive gender roles into performative gender roles in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s hibiscus pourpre(Department of Religious Studies, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria., 2021-06) Olayinka, E. B.Through feminist literature and other forms of feminist endeavours to institutionalise gender equality, the notion of biology is destiny as identified by the social and natural sciences has come under the attack of feminists. Debunking the stereotyping of women and assignation and restriction of specific gender roles to specific sex whereby certain roles are christened as women’s roles and certain others as men’s roles is part of this feminist project. In Hibiscus Poupre, Chimamanda Adichie weaves in the flexibility of roles to engage with the theme of gender roles and performativity. From what she demonstrates, the fixity of gender roles through decades of cultural construction can be deconstructed and reconstructed to foster harmony among the genders. Womanism as a theory that focuses on complementarity of gender roles is used to interrogate and x-ray the subtle ways in which the author downplays gender role stereotyping and brings to the fore the pivotal roles of African Women using Igbo ethos construct as model. Under the pretext of being a practising Catholic, Eugene, Tatie Ifeoma’s biological brother, neglects the care of his aged father whom he accuses of idolatry. He thus jettisons the traditional roles expected of a male child in Igbo society. The female, Tatie Ifeoma is seen laden with the responsibilities that the male child fails to carry out traditionally. Within her household, chores are shared between male and female children without pigeonholing of roles. Every member of the family diligently carries out their responsibilities without reference to whether a particular chore is meant for female or male. This is seen to be one of the core factors for harmony in Tatie Ifeoma’s household where the latter, a widow and poorly paid faculty at the University of Nsukka, plays the family head. In conclusion, emphasises that gender performativity is not typecast. The author demonstrates how Western religion is used to obliterate and suppress traditional African religions and their practitioners. Gender role iteration is also allowed in reversed order to deconstruct conventional tradition of allocating roles based on gender.Item Traumatisme postcolonial et activation des mecanismes de defense pour la survie dans La prisonniere de Malika Oufkir(Une publication de, L'Association Nigeriane des Enseignants universitaires de français (ANEUF), 2021-10) Olayinka, E. B.Le traumatisme, un concept preponderant dans le domaine psychanalytique, est un theme recurrent dans Vecriture d'incarceration. Les ecrivains africains mettent en evidence le traumatisme auquel les victimes d'incarceration sont susceptibles. Dans les dijferents concepts de la psychanalyse, les mecanismes defensifs aident les victimes de s situations menagantes a attenuer les tensions qui en resultent. Cette communication s'interroge sur la capacite des Oufkir a s'outiller des mecanismes de defense dans La Prisonniere ou Vauteur, Malika Oufkir, narre passionnement le traumatisme subi par sa famille aux mains du pouvoir monarchique suite a Vattentat echoue mene par son pere, le feu General Oufkir. A Vaide de la theorie du traumatisme et le concept de mecanisme de defense, Vetude cherche a dissequer revocation litteraire des experiences traumatiques des personnages incarceres et la possibilite de mener une vie equilibree apres leurs trajectoires dans les goulags grace a Vapplication des mecanismes defensifs appropries. Pretant sa voix a la denonciation des malaises socio-politiques et economiques issus d'un despotisme qui regne en Afrique du Nord postcoloniale, le roman etablit I'afjmite de la maltraitance des individus qui se reunissent contre les regimes dictatoriaux par tout en Afrique. Dans la tentative de mettre a la lumiere des projecteurs sur Vautobiographie passionnante de cette auteure peu connue au sud du Sahara, il sort aux yeux que Voeuvre contient un vrai tableau des memoires de prison des Oufkir condamnes aux prisons de 1972 a 1991.Item Depuis monsieur thoghognini, le destin africain predit a bon ou a mal escient?(Nigeria French Language Village, Lagos, 2023) Olayinka, E. B.Que les impacts du contact de l’Occident avec le monde africain entrainent des cotes positifs ainsi que negatifs n’est pas a nier. Depuis le moment ou les elites africaines ont pris la plume pour des productions litteraires, quelques-uns parmi eux ont su dissequer et predire le destin africain. Dans le champ theatral, Bemand Binlin Dadie est l’un des dramaturges africains a l’avant-garde. Se basant sur le concept du colonialisme domestique propose par Harold Cruse en 1962, cet article sur Monsieur Thogo-gnini (MT) s’oblige de faire une analyse critique de la capacite de Dadie a relever l’unicite de son oeuvre dans la prediction du destin de l’Afrique postcoloniale bien en avance. II disseque la maniere dont l’auteur a pu presager le destin de l’Affique d’aujourd’hui. Le travail focalise sur le theme de l’assujettissement des Noirs par les Noirs en commen9ant par les empreintes du colonialisme laissees par les Blancs grace a la complicity des leaders africains. L’Affique etant un continent a realite diversifiee, elle continue de vivre en commun l’imperialisme colonial ce qui egale l’imperialisme economique et socio-politique. La situation dont l’Afrique se retrouve apres les independances porte en elle les vestiges du colonialisme du au fait que le colonialisme n’a jamais pris fin. Ce qui creve les yeux a l’Afrique est evidemment le statut des pays africains fragiles et incapables de toutes formes de deyeloppement durable occasionnes par l’inertie et le deficit moraux des dirigeants d’Etats qui ne s’interessent qu’a leur sort, pensant moins du sort du continent et de sa population.
