Denial, Responsibility, Bad Faith, and Blues in Lewis Gordon's Fear of Black Consciousness
Lewis R. Gordon investigates myriad questions in Fear of Black Consciousness (2022). He brings out the complexity of Black consciousness and the psychological, ontological, and epistemic upheavals that it provokes in a White world. Gordon examines contradictions, paradoxes, and aporias that find their coherence in his continual call to an emerging form of transcendence. Struck by Gordon's analysis of denial, responsibility, bad faith, and the blu…
Paulin Hountondji
Paulin Hountondji is an essential figure in the literary and philosophical world of Africa. Rereading The Struggle for Meaning: Reflections on Philosophy, Culture, and Democracy in Africa allowed me to rediscover a man whose theoretical work is indissociable from action. Conscious of the dangers of sterile speculation and above all passionate about improving Africans' conditions of existence, Hountondji develops a way of thinking that leads to ac…
Black Existential Freedom
The history of slavery, colonization, subjugation, gratuitous violence, and the denial of basic human rights to people of African descent has led Afro-Pessimists to look at black existence through the lens of white supremacy and anti-blackness. Against this trend, Black Existential Freedom argues that Blackness is not inherently synonymous with victimhood. Rather, it is inextricable from existential freedom and the struggle for political liberati…
Images de soi, discours sur soi et conscience de soi
En général, l'immigration, le racisme, l'antiracisme, l'humanitarisme, les stéréotypes et les politiques de reconnaissance obèrent la mise en images des Noirs de France. Ainsi, bien qu'elle soit réelle, la complexité de l'être noir en France demeure invisible dans les systèmes de représentation. Le documentaire Afro Diasporic French Identities (Etoke 2011) propose une esthétique fondée sur le dialogisme, la déconstruction des représentations mono…
La France contemporaine face au défi de la créolisation
Inspired by Jane Gordon's book, Creolizing Political Theory: Reading Rousseau through Fanon, this article examines the paradoxes of Creolization within the French context. How do post-colonial French identities of Maghrebi, Sub-Saharan African or Caribbean descent Creolize French society? Instead of being an opportunity that must be seized by the Nation, why is creolization perceived as an imminent threat to the Republic? How can one think of Cre…

Mariama Barry, Ken Bugul, Calixthe Beyala, and the Politics of Female Homoeroticisim in Sub-Saharan Francophone African Literature
The emergence of African feminism and womanism has elucidated pivotal issues that African women face in a patriarchal society that undermines their existence. However, such movements reinforce the dominant presence of heterosexual standards in denying the reality of its most marginalized subset, same-sex love interactions. This article explores the relationship between culture, society, law, gender, free will, and sexuality. I unravel the strateg…
L'onomastique comme potique de la (d) construction identitaire dans Tels des astres teints de Lonora Miano
Who am I is a question often asked in African, African American and Afro-Caribbean literatures. Lonora Miano answers this question of identity crisis in Tels des astres teints by exploring the intricacies of naming and identity of Diasporic Sub-Saharan Africans within the French space. Naming becomes a performative act, which defines the script of existence. The onomastics at work in Tels des astres teints operates as a poetic of identity (de) co…
