Description:
The choice of language for literary creation is not a simple one, especially for African writers. Having grown up in a naturally multilingual environment and exposed to European languages, they often express themselves in the language of former colonizers. However, this is neither obvious nor should it remain a definitive choice for authors from various African countries. We will present different motivations, attitudes, and decisions of several writers; from the most radical, rejecting the European language, to others who hold onto it – either exclusively or accompanied by African languages. Le choix de la langue de création littéraire n’est point simple, particulièrement pour les écrivains africains. Ayant grandi dans l’environnement multilinguistique, mis au contact de langues européennes, ils s’expriment plus que souvent dans la langue d’anciens colonisateurs. Ceci n’est pourtant ni évident, ni ne doit rester un choix définitif pour l’ensemble de l’œuvre d’auteur(e)s originaires de divers pays d’Afrique. Nous allons présenter différentes motivations, attitudes et décisions de plusieurs écrivain(e)s ; des plus radicaux, rejetant la langue européenne à d’autres qui y tiennent – soit exclusivement, soit en l’accompagnant de langues africaines.
