Le discours paremiologique beti dans Le sorcier signe et persiste de Camille Nkoa Atenga

Abstract

In the last few decades, there has been a renewal of aesthetics in the French African literature in general and Cameroon in particular. Indeed, the contact with the otherness of the west has influenced the ways of doing, dressing, thinking, and being African people to the point where we are witnesing the loss of African values. Faced with this problem of declining oral civilization, the African writer remained in the country in particular, becomes a patriarch, belt transmission and safeguarding ancestral values. Based on Camille Nkoa Atenga’s Le Sorcier signe et persiste (2003), the aim here is to deeply rooted in the beti socioculural universe and is transformed into a patriarch to perpetuate beti culture in particular and cameroon in general in poor expression in a westernized world.
