Entre évitement et ressassement
Face à l’ignorance, par une grande partie de la population belge, de son propre passé colonial et face au déni que semblent éprouver les politicien. ne. s belges à l’égard de ce même passé, les auteurs mettent en avant les productions des écrivain. e. s et artistes de l’extrême contemporain qui osent appréhender le fait colonial, le transformer en matière à travailler et substance à réfléchir. Ce faisant, elles et ils contribuent à faire du passé…
Conclusion
The seven representations of Thiaroye that I have analyzed in this book help shape and communicate memories of World War II. They form a coherent body of works, in terms of both the historical event they represent and establishing an explicit or implicit dialogue between them. Through the recurrence of the same narrative elements—such as the parallel between the First and Second World Wars in Senghor’s poem and in Doumbi-Fakoly’s novel, the paral…
Historical Background and Representations of Thiaroye
This chapter provides the historical background necessary to set up the framework for the literary and artistic analyses deployed in the following chapters. Before concentrating on the historical accounts of the Thiaroye mutiny, I will give a brief overview of the French colonization of West Africa, the Code de l’indigénat (Indigenousness Code) imposed by France on overseas populations, the creation and history of the military corps of the tirail…
Boubacar Boris Diop’s Thiaroye
Born in Dakar, Senegal, in 1946, Boubacar Boris Diop embarked on a dual career as a writer and journalist, after having been a professor of literature and philosophy. His fictional works include Le Temps de Tamango (Tamango’s Time, 1981), Les Tambours de la mémoire (The Drums of Memory, 1990), Les Traces de la meute (The Pack’s Traces, 1993), Le Cavalier et son ombre (The Horseman and His Shadow, 1997), and Murambi, le livre des ossements (Muramb…
Camp de Thiaroye by Sembene Ousmane
The Senegalese filmmaker Sembene Ousmane died in 2007 at the age of 84.1 Referred to as the “Father of African cinema,” he nevertheless started his career as a writer and continued until the 1980s to be a prolific novelist. Among his early novels are Le Docker noir (The Black Docker, 1956), Ô Pays, mon beau peuple! (Ô Country, My Beautiful People!, 1957), and Les Bouts de bois de Dieu (God’s Bits of Wood, 1960). In these books, he tackles economi…
Léopold Sédar Senghor’s Thiaroye
Of all the authors of the corpus, Léopold Sédar Senghor is probably the one who achieved the greatest fame. His international reputation is established not only in poetry but also in politics. In 1983, the French Academy opened its doors to him, welcoming poetic works including Chants d’ombre ( Shadow Songs , 1945), Hosties noires ( Black Hosts , 1948), éthiopiques (1956), Nocturnes (1961), Lettres d’hivernage ( Letters in the Season of Hivernage…
Fodeba Keita’s Thiaroye
While Senghor chose a slower, more progressive path to independence for Senegal— as will be thoroughly explained in Chapter 4—Guinea proclaimed its desire for immediate independence from France with its 1958 referendum, wherein 96 percent voted for independence. By renouncing French tutelage in establishing his new country’s institutions, Sékou Touré offended de Gaulle, who wanted to be the mastermind behind African states’ independence. Miffed b…
Doumbi-Fakoly’s Morts pour la France
Like Boubacar Boris Diop, two years his junior, Doumbi-Fakoly is an African intellectual. Doumbi-Fakoly was born in Mali and grew up in Senegal. Like other writers and artists considered in this study, he has been eager to promote pan-Africanism, as evidenced by his 1997 essay, Le Guide du panafricaniste (The Pan Africanist’s Guide). Trained in France as a banker, Doumbi-Fakoly chose to be heard as an essayist. His latest essay, published in 2006…
Dismantling Thiaroye’s Dichotomies in Cheikh Faty Faye’s Play
Although first published in a sequence of episodes in a Senegalese newspaper during the 1970s, Cheikh Faty Faye’s play Aube de sang was published in France as a complete work in 2005. It contributed to disseminating a work that had until then remained mostly unknown. Despite an early and discreet first publication, I argue that, like Bouchareb’s movie, Faye’s play belongs to a third phase of representing the mutiny and massacre. Indeed, the tone …
Rachid Bouchareb’s Minimalist Representation of Thiaroye
Born in Paris in 1953, of Algerian descent, Rachid Bouchareb has become internationally renowned for his latest film Indigénes ( Days of Glory , 2006). Before becoming a celebrity, Bouchareb directed a significant number of movies, which commonly address the impact of history on the life of individuals, especially average, everyday people. He has made about a dozen films since 1976, including Poussiéres de vie ( Dust of Life , 1994), nominated fo…
Esthétique de l’éclatement dans Le Nègre Potemkine de Blaise N’djehoya
Le Nègre Potemkine by Blaise N’Djehoya (Paris: Lieu Commun, 1988) is a fragmented novel, i.e. a novel whose entry into fiction is problematic for readers. The article argues that narrative dysfunctions and reflexivity as well as style contribute to the fragmentation of the novel. We finally suggest that the discomfort experienced in reading the book is meant to render, all things being equal, African migrants’ distress
Cultural Representations of Massacre
Introduction -- Historical background and representations of Thiaroye -- Léopold Sédar Senghor's Thiaroye : the prototype of sacrifice -- Fodeba Keita's Thiaroye : a transitory episode in the African epic -- Boubacar Boris Diop's Thiaroye : rebellion and treason -- Doumbi-Fakoly's Morts pour la France : Thiaroye as a key episode in understanding (neo-) colonialism -- Camp de Thiaroye by Sembene Ousmane : art and/as resistance -- Rachid Bouchareb'…
De l’événement historique à sa transcription artistique
This paper is concerned with historical inaccuracies found in the movie Le Camp de Thiaroye by Sembene Ousmane and in the novel Morts pour la France by Doumbi-Fakoly, both works representing the 1944 mutiny and massacre of Thiaroye, Senegal. Instead of blaming the authors for their ignorance or, worse, for their intention to fool the audience, this paper provides explanations mainly based on intertextual relationships with other cultural document…
(Re)Writing the Massacre of Thiaroye
Analyse stylistique et textuelle de trois représentations du massacre de Thiaroye, une mutinerie de soldats africains sévèrement réprimée par l’armée coloniale française en 1944. L’étude analyse l’évolution du sens de l’événement dans un poème de L.S. Senghor (1944), une pièce de théâtre de B.B. Diop (1981) et une autre pièce de C.F. Faye (2005)
L’exception « tsigane »1 dans la France de Vichy
L’article examine trois œuvres (un récit, *Dites-le avec des pleurs* de M. Maximoff ;un album photographique, *Un camp pour les Bohémiens* de M. Pernot et un roman, *La Route du rhum* de D. Daeninckx) retraçant le sort des Roms sous Vichy et attire l’attention sur l’effet éthique (la compassion) produit par ces œuvres sur le lecteur
