Sororité et Réparation Affective: Analyse de la Solidarité Féminine Dans Crépuscule du Tourment I: Mélancolie de Léonora Miano

The mechanisms of sisterhood as a strategy for emotional repair in Crépuscule du tourment I: Mélancolie by Léonora Miano is explored in this article. In a context characterised by postcolonial trauma, symbolic violence, and intimate wounds, female solidarity becomes a space for identity reconstruction and emotional healing. Through a close textual analysis of the novel, the study highlighted intergenerational bonds, confidences between women, and spaces of expression that enable the female characters to rebuild themselves collectively. Drawing on the African Womanism of Chikwenye Okonjo Ogunyemi and the Africana Womanism of Clenora Hudson-Weems, the article demonstrates how sisterhood transcends mere mutual support to become a political act of resistance and a revaluation of Black emotionality. The paper thus emphasized the importance of feminine alliances in postcolonial literature as a vehicle for social transformation and the reinvention of African female subjectivities.

Abstract

The mechanisms of sisterhood as a strategy for emotional repair in Crépuscule du tourment I: Mélancolie by Léonora Miano is explored in this article. In a context characterised by postcolonial trauma, symbolic violence, and intimate wounds, female solidarity becomes a space for identity reconstruction and emotional healing. Through a close textual analysis of the novel, the study highlighted intergenerational bonds, confidences between women, and spaces of expression that enable the female characters to rebuild themselves collectively. Drawing on the African Womanism of Chikwenye Okonjo Ogunyemi and the Africana Womanism of Clenora Hudson-Weems, the article demonstrates how sisterhood transcends mere mutual support to become a political act of resistance and a revaluation of Black emotionality. The paper thus emphasized the importance of feminine alliances in postcolonial literature as a vehicle for social transformation and the reinvention of African female subjectivities.
