Literary seminar IIz / III w + p - Malagasy literature in French XX-XXI century 3304-1DZXW-KL-07
The history of Madagascar from colonial conquest to anticolonial insurrection in 1947 and decolonization leading to independence in 1960 is a complicated task: four generations of Malagasy literature (Rabearivelo, Rabemananjara, Rakotoson and Raharimanana) representing the important moments of Red Island and esthetical search to confront the modern times.
Traditional styles delivered from oralitore, taboo connected with literature written for rulers and preachers confronts European, occidental models.
Are this fights and doubts actual for us? What is motivated and what does writing in the language of the (former) colonizer entail?
