الفرنكوفونية و فرنسا و اللغة الفرنسية : شراكة ممكنة لنشر الثقافة أم لفرض الهيمنة ؟

الملخص EN

This article deals with the dimensions of the intricate relationship between Francophone, France and French.

I will examine these concepts and their historical evolution from inception to foundation.

Also, I will study the extent of the institutional Francophone’s commitment to human values that shape the French spirit.

I will try to uncover the rationalisations of the Francophone ideology to spread the French culture and to extend its hegemony over the former colonies.

Specifically, I will focus mainly on the possible partnerships between French, as the main pillar of the International Organization of (“la Francophonie”), and France’s policy for transmitting a humanistic ideology based on equality.

I will examine the discourse that embodies the intrinsic superiority of the French language and the culture which it conveys on local cultures.

The article highlights the deficiencies of language in forming a homogeneous society without striking identity and history.

In addition, this article seeks to shed light on the manifestations of power that led to the spread of the French language in a fragile urban environment.

Through Western critics of (“la Francophonie”), we have concluded that its institutionalization was not innocent and that its durability and its universal embrace were dependent on the degree of France’s loyalty to the French spirit and its respect for the principle of linguistic pluralism and cultural diversity.
