Le ‘‘Dormant de Sévaré’’ ou l’enfer francophone (Le cas de Yambo Ouologuem)

WithLe devoir de violence, Yambo Ouologuem shakes off yoke of tradition and forces reflection. With subversive writing in a postcolonial context Ouologuem tramples on the negrophileflowerbeds and excites the negrophibic fiber. Our study examines the underlying facts of the plagiarism affair.How does this accussation hide the tension between centripetal and centrifugal? How the duty of violence goes off the beaten track to say the unspeakable in an Africa which must stop positioning itself as a victim of History and the West and take a step back to question violence since pre-colonial times. Finally, howLe devoir de violencefar from a plagiarized novel, is a work of creation which recalls « the process of recovery –transformation wich existed from ancient Greece to the 16the century ». Bouillaguet addsin his work Imitative Writing: Pastiche, Parody, Collage-thatthevalueofaworkliesin:« the skill of authors in adapting an oldmodel to a new reality ».French-speaking authors will help us demonstrate that, in short the ouloguem affair is only an illustation of the bilateral pressures that every French-speaking writer of this generation undergoes in an ostentatious or insidious way.KEYWORDS:Francophonie, negrophilia, negrophobia, center, bilateral pressures.
