Représentation de la guerre dans la poésie nigériane
Journal Title: Cahiers Africains de Rhétorique - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 01
Abstract
This study depicts the quensequences of the war in the poetry of Nigerien authors namely Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe and Gabriel Okara. From the application of the sociocritical and autobiographical approaches, it appears from the texts that commitment is part of a moral and political awareness that identifies the poet in relation to a community of reprobates, no doubt, but a community fighting for a new morality. These texts are circumscribed in a context of deprivation of freedom by loneliness in prison, the slow and long disintegration that the man undergoes plunged into the abyss of prison isolation, the tortures suffered, the soiled walls, the fetid odors exhaled by the prison, the triumph of truth over the undermining of a system of repression. Prison disorients, disarticulates and fragments the personality of the prisoner who seeks to survive physical and mental attacks. It goes without saying that these texts have an autobiographical dimension.
