Climbié de Bernard B. Dadié : Une rhétorique scripturale métachronique de l’afropolitanisme

Abstract

Climbié by the Ivorian writer Bernard B. Dadié appears as a panafricanist ideal refoundation novel since "circulation des mondes" in the tale shows an African solidarity gradually converging to a mentality of blackness. The woven friendship and enmity report evade racial thoughtfulness. Black people have two cultures: the first, black ancestors inherited and the second left by white colonizers. As such, this work is an unsuccessful phenomenography of panafricanism and appears ultimately as preterm textualization of afropolitanism, this sense of identity nesting of the here and the elsewhere.
