Figures de femmes dans l’oeuvre Romanesque de Sony Labou Tansi

Abstract EN

The evolution of the romantic image of the African woman is an invaluable indicator of the deep changes in Africa of our time.

The woman is thus an element of recurrence in the writing of the Congolese author since it occupies an important place in its system of character.

We more precisely are interested in typology of the romantic figures women and in the games and challenges of their semiological representation in the writings of Sony Labou Tansi according to his point of view, of its vision.

This study is before all the product of observation and analysis of a scattered speech on the modern romantic writings starting from particular problems: figures of plural women and agents of the specific massage delivered by the writer.

In other words, it is the analysis of the female transgression in the five novels that Sony Labou Tansi published of alive sound.

If the female characters of these fictions generally located in modern Africa are invested new roles because as of social transformations which involved African independences and the attempts at construction of new identities at the same time for the man and for the woman, the history continues to show that the women have still a long way to traverse to redefine itself socially and sexually.
