Methodological Approaches to Literary Discourse

This volume explores various themes related to recent issues. The questions raised concern methodological approaches to contemporary literature: narrative strategies, the functions of diegetic topics, and the social nature of fictional acts. Symbolic representations appear in discourses on the wars taking place in Central Africa. They allow for the reconstruction of meaningful correlations, far removed from the rhetoric of the belligerents as well as from ambiguous or aggressive circumlocutions. The final chapter advocates for the literary practice of a language, in this case, Cilubà. It attempts to reconstruct the analysis of "verb morphology." It restores lexical resources as well as semantic expressiveness within the grammar of narrative. The chapter on "utopias" revisits the repetitive paradigm that did not stop at instances of reduplication derived from metropolises from elsewhere.
