Title: | “How many people have you killed?”: child-soldiers in literature and film | Other Titles: | "Combien de personnes as-tu tuées ?": les enfants-soldats dans la littérature et le cinéma | Authors: | Martins, Catarina | Keywords: | Literature; Dongala; Iweala; Kourouma; Waberi; Child-Soldiers; Film; Neo-Colonialism; Littérature; Néo-colonialisme; Enfants-soldats; Films | Issue Date: | 2013 | Publisher: | Éditions de l’EHESS | Serial title, monograph or event: | Cahiers d’Études Africaines | Volume: | LIII (3) | Issue: | 211 | Abstract: | This article will comparatively examine representations of child-soldiers in literary and cinematographic works from the North and the South, using post-colonial theory in an attempt to ascertain which power politics might be at play in the dominant northern discoursive construction of the issue, and which the focuses of resistance within a counter-discourse coming from the South are. I will also consider the way in which the southern counter-discourse and its strategies are being incorporated into the hegemonic main narrative. Cet article présente une analyse comparative des représentations d’enfants-soldats dans des œuvres littéraires et cinématographiques du Nord et du Sud. La théorie postcoloniale sera utilisée pour essayer de découvrir, d’une part les enjeux de pouvoir présents dans la construction discursive dominante du Nord et, d’autre part, les points les plus importants d’un contre-discours résistant du Sud. Les modes d’incorporation du contre-discours du Sud et de ses stratégies au sein de la narration hégémonique du Nord seront aussi examinés. |
