Soleil et ombre
(2010)
In this collection, Bill F. NDI resorts to more sagacious versification (rhyme constraints, alliterations and at times the alexandrine) in which appear marked influences of many a French poet. Some of his more audacious poems bring to mind Calligrams and typography of Appolinaire and Paul Éluard respectively.
Réussite scolaire, Faillite Sociale : Généalogie mentale de la crise de l'Afrique Noire Francophone
(2010)
Two volumes of school textbooks have notably led to self repulsion and attraction by the other peculiar to the black African elite. These are the collection put together by the missionary brothers Macaire and Grill: Mamadou et Bineta authored by Andre Davesne alone or in collaboration with J. Gouin. To have an understanding of the kind of scholar produced by the foreign school in the colonies a century after, it is worthwhile retracing the itinerary, followed through readings by generation of pupils, to know the sources that fed their imagination. Out of tune with the universe of their birth, unable to efficiently concretize school teaching, but having certainly perceived that education and education alone is the new pedigree of distinction, school pupils have had to simulate the appropriation of fetishist models of knowledge without necessarily assimilating the spirit of the new civilization and much less taking the challenge to preserve self integrity redeemed through a complaisant dependence that spares from taking any action by fear of doing wrong or being called to order by the overbearing world. If not, how can one explain, in spite of the material and symbolic crises, that the elite since independence have not initiated a discursive strategy for another effective school system? Now, with aspiration or repugnance to discontinuity, the intentions are to rid Africa of the unhealthy residual French complexes in order to engage on the path of double acknowledgement and difference. This seems the most likely to restore trust amongst the peoples and to assure the endorsement of men worthy of being called such.
This collection is produced by a trio which in reverse order recalls the trio Senghor, Csaire, Damas; one African and two Caribbeans who were flag bearer of a protest for the recognition of fundamental rights of which Blacks were deprived of. In the same vein, the Clervoyant, Ndi and Vakunta trio: a Caribbean and two Africans in a globalised world dissect and trace, through their poetry the horrible affliction of postcolonial pain Blacks suffer from in spite of the fight put up by their predecessors for the obtainment of fundamental human rights. For this trio, the black pen will continue to bleed until the pain is buried. That will be the only way for all from English speaking Cameroon to Haiti to lead a life worthy of its name.
Assessing the impact of twenty-five years of action to promote the discontinuation of female circumcision (FGM) in Francophone West Africa, should consider a key issue: the contribution of the digital revolution, and how young people - girls and boys - have been associated. As victims, subjects, objects, actors, citizens, leaders and family and community stakeholders, FGM is for them a matter of concern. Youth, ICTs and FGM reveal gender issues that must be transversally integrated in public, private, citizen and personal development policies. This is the main message of this book, which presents the results of an innovative action research conducted by ENDA Tiers Monde, with the participation of girls and boys in Burkina Faso, Mali and Senegal. The study is in the French language.
We henceforth would open our eyes, as obscene dancers of moving kidneys, as songs burning with sexual aches, alarm bells in the stomach of emptiness, today constitute our revolution. For Ada Bessomo, Obili, a residential area in Yaounde, capital of Cameroon, is the epitome of bitterness itself. How does one, in such a context, reconcile self esteem, a recollection of better days and love for a country that flexes its muscles against your breath, almost as if to test your patience, to suffocate its very future?
Personne, à ma connaissance, ne s'est encore intéressé aux rapports que Rainer Maria Rilke a entretenus avec la revue 'Commerce' qui, à la fin de 1924, fut la première à publier quelquesuns de ses poèmes français. Les nombreuses études consacrées à cet auteur ne s'étendent pas sur cette question et par conséquent, les données qui figurent dans les lettres et les notes des textes édités n’ont pas encore été présentées dans un ensemble cohérent. Dans cet article, je me propose de mettre en lumière les rapports entre Rilke et 'Commerce' en me basant sur seize lettres inédites de Rilke à Marguerite Caetani, la mécène de la revue, conservées dans des archives privées, à Rome. Ceci me permettra d'ajouter quelques éléments à l'image existante de la vie et de l'oeuvre de Rilke à Paris, qui, quoique minutieusement documentée, ne cesse de s'affiner. Pour cela, il faut d'abord que je réponde à la question de savoir quelle est la stratégie suivie par 'Commerce' dans ses rapports avec les auteurs et leurs contributions.
Une atmosphère toute de silence et d'éclat, de frisson et de plus haute tension, telle est l'oeuvre de Rainer Maria Rilke. Il n'est pas vain de noter que, dans son expression, elle recourt à une double voix, de préciser le sens d'un écart à l'intérieur d'une oeuvre grande et douloureuse dans sa construction, de montrer la nécessité de ce qui est pour finir mieux qu'un écart ; pour cela, il faut aussi, chemin faisant, embrasser la destinée poétique de Rilke dans sa globalité. Ce qu'il importe alors de considérer, c'est à la fois cette étrangeté et ce paradoxe que sont les poèmes français de Rilke. De temps en temps, à intervalles réguliers, tel ou tel esprit revient sur cette question, tourne autour d'elle, évoquant l'un de ses aspects, parfois plusieurs, sans jamais pouvoir totalement se soustraire à l'énigme qui se déploie dans la modestie d'une apparente récréation. Avec sa rectitude et son sens de la pondération nuancée, Philippe Jaccottet s'est approché mieux que tout autre du foyer de cette question, ce n'en est pas moins resté pour lui comme pour tous une réflexion ouverte et ce n'est pas moi qui mettrai un point final à ce mystère qui ne demande qu'à se prolonger comme tel et doit simplement être aperçu pour briller dans la lumière qui lui est due.
La musique et le rêve
(2010)
Adorno, in his posthumous work Beethoven. Philosophy of music, grasps the deep relationship between music and dream: “we are in music, as well as we are in dream”. Music is the coming of a non-intentional truth, that is never caught by images and words. In the same way, dream follows the logic of a non-giudicatory synthesis and is incompatible with the category of dialectical totality: in dream, truth announces her-self as it fades out. According to Adorno, the dimension of opening typical to dream and music collides with the pretension of philosophical discourse that aims at the total revelation.
