Regard Sud-Nord dans un contexte postcolonial chez Alain Mabanckou Relationship South-North in a Postcolonial Context with Alain Mabanckou
Main Article Content
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Starting from the problematic which tries to raise the question of the relationship between Black and White people, and also the reason that underlies such a relationship, this article attempts to bring elements of answer to a broad questioning from two novels by Alain Mabanckou: Black Bazar (Black Bazaar) and Tais-toi et meurs (Shut up and die). The article analyzes the relationship between Black and White people in a postcolonial context, which manifests itself in a relationship of tension, rejection of the other, but also with intimacy and greed. The Africa/Europe encounter, having been made under dramatic conditions that lowered the Black to the rank of animal, devoid of any faculty of reasoning, some White men continue to see the Black men with the same gaze of inferior human beings. For the analysis, and to clearly define the field of the study, we rely on work in the field of postcolonial studies in order to achieve more effective results.
RÉSUMÉ: A partir de la problématique qui tente de soulever la question du rapport entre le Noir et le Blanc, et aussi le pourquoi d’un tel rapport, cet article tente d’apporter des éléments de réponse à un large questionnement à partir de deux romans d’Alain Mabanckou : Black bazar et Tais-toi et meurs. L’article analyse les rapports entre Noir et Blanc dans un contexte postcolonial, qui se déclinent en rapport de tension, de rejet de l’autre, mais aussi d’intimité et de convoitise. La rencontre Afrique/Europe ayant été faite dans les conditions dramatiques qui rabaissaient le Noir au rang de l’animal, dépourvu de toute faculté de raisonnement, certains Blancs continuent de voir le Noir avec ce même regard d’être inférieur. Pour l’analyse, et pour bien cerner le champ de l’étude, on s’appuie sur les travaux dans le domaine des études postcoloniales afin d’aboutir à des résultats plus efficaces.
