{"title":"Invention of boundaries and identity issues in the story of an anti-colonial war","authors":"Cécile Leguy","doi":"10.17159/tl.v60i3.14380","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17159/tl.v60i3.14380","url":null,"abstract":"To what extent do verbal arts contribute to the imposition of worldviews, and indeed to the redrawing of boundaries? I chose to address this question through a performance recital to commemorate a historical event, recorded during a festival organized by a cultural association with the aim of defending the Bwa minority in Mali. The event took place in San in December 2001 and was intended to prepare for the centenary of what is commonly known as the “Bwa revolt”, a resistance movement that took place during the First World War. The study of the recital invites one to question the part of identity reconstruction expressed in this commemoration of the revolt. In this article I argue that the vision of the revolt’s history such as it is proposed in this performance has the effect of inventing boundaries, even though it is a call to integrate into a larger whole. It highlights what can be understood as a paradoxical injunction. Indeed, the public is called to ‘be part of’ a country, while claiming as specific to the Bwa of Mali an event that belongs to the history of a whole region not only populated by the Bwa, and that goes far beyond the borders of what Mali is today. In this performance, one thus witnesses an ethnicization that is built on a rewriting of history, an ethnicization that is also remarkable in the comments exchanged on the commemoration of the revolt on social networks. This article is organized into three points. Firstly, the context of this anti-colonial war and the way it is claimed here as part of the construction of Bwa identity are explored from the very first words. Next, it is shown that the ethnicization manifested in this performance has long-standing political and scientific foundations. Finally, this paradoxical injunction addressed to Malian Bwa to be part of the nation while focusing on their own identity is discussed in a context where identity claims are reinforced by the importance taken by social networks on the internet.","PeriodicalId":41787,"journal":{"name":"Tydskrif vir letterkunde","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139006316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

En utilisant les outils de la sociologie de la traduction, je montre comment les œuvres d’auteurs francophones s’insèrent dans le circuit littéraire sud-africain tout en établissant une forme de continuité de la francophonie littéraire. Par le biais d’une enquête, j’établis une bibliographie de dix-sept œuvres traduites et, par des échanges avec les traducteurs et la consultation de divers types de sources documentaires, je précise le rôle des différents acteurs littéraires, culturels et politiques dans la production de ces traductions. Je constate que les traductions, réalisées principalement par des universitaires, sont publiées avec le soutien d’institutions françaises. Les œuvres traduites en anglais sont généralement liées à la contestation de l’hégémonie mondiale de cette langue; celles traduites principalement en afrikaans s’expliquent aussi par l’affirmation identitaire et linguistique des traducteurs. Ces derniers, souvent membres du corps académique, cherchent à témoigner de la présence française dans l’histoire de l’Afrique du Sud et confirment, par le choix des œuvres, la domination d’un canon littéraire européen. La retraduction est l’un des facteurs qui expliquent la continuité d’un canon historique occidental, tandis que le nombre limité de traductions des œuvres d’écrivains africains souligne également l’absence de traductions dans les langues continentales, bantoues, etc.","PeriodicalId":41787,"journal":{"name":"Tydskrif vir letterkunde","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138594653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
