CONT

[...] nous proposons d'analyser les textes de quelques écrivains ouest-africains en relation avec l'image des griots et l'écriture griotique des écrivains contemporains. [...] En règle générale, même si la modernisation a transformé certaines mœurs et pratiques africaines, les écrivains africains continuent le rôle que jouaient les griots. Ces romanciers-ci sont des griots modernes qui utilisent l'écriture au lieu de l'oralité afin de transmettre leur message.
