Factions Populistes Dans Les écritures Romanesques Africaines Migrantes : Place Des Fêtes, Un Traditionnel Roman Réaliste

Abstract

African novel is essentially determined by its populist nature. Born to teach the world about mores and African life, the literary work perpetuates this characteristic essentiality since its first novels. Contrary to the evocation by the current literary criticism of a mimesis realistic crisis in the African novel, this natural lecture shows the commitment of Place des fêtes of the Togolese Sami Tchak, for the nineteenth century ultra-realistic seraphic tradition. The study of the novel is then a topic which interests the current contribution, oriented in a dynamic research work relating to the aesthetic continuum of literary realism in the contemporary African novelistic production. Place des fêtes is especially important for a new heuristic interest for the literary criticism for its subversive factual dimension. In fact, the literary work is characterized indeed as another voice, a kind of fiction of document, informing so strikingly of original facts that ruin the official narrative testimonies of the African migration hood, martyrdom in the Western world.
