Entre profane et sacré usages de la citation biblique dans les oeuvres de Dambudzo Marechera et Tchicaya U Tam'si
2016
Overview
The Bible, through faithful quotations and wider references, is central in the understanding of the literatures of Sub-Saharan Africa. The work of missionaries in the field of education during and after colonial times accounts for this phenomenon, which applies in both French speaking and English speaking areas. It is nonetheless essential to stress that the process, far from loyally mimicking the masters’ discourses, gives new meaning to the Bible and its derivative. Through the examples of Dambudzo Marechera and Tchicaya U Tam’si, this article aims at examining the tension thus created between the sacred and the secular. By considering these authors as readers of the Bible, we intend to grasp a better understanding of biblical quotations as instruments caught in a wider web of references. This use of quotations eventually leads to a mystical quest redefining the status of literary texts.
