��ourses in literary francophonies

The problematic of the course as well as its main objective is not so much to give a summary presentation of the different literatures that fall under the definition of Francophone literatures. It is rather to make students aware of a number of important points relating to Francophone literatures in particular its problematic definitions underpinned by political discourses and counter discourses. It is also a question of seeing the specificities of each of the Francophone literatures (Maghreb Black Africa Middle East) as well as their specific relationships to the French language.
