Representation & Difference Essay
Ca y est ! J'ai boucle mon premier essay de 3000 mots (en anglais s'il vous plait) a rendre lundi 15. Heureusement une gentille prof d'anglais a pris le temps de tout me corrriger donc meme si le propos est faux au moins la syntaxe sera bonne !!! Pour vous donner un avant gout, voici un petit copie/colle de mon intro (mais bon, si ca vous embete, vous pouvez ne pas le lire...):
Sixty-two years after its invention, four Senegalese revolutionize the history of cinema: Kane, Caristan, Vieyra and Sarr had shot Afrique Sur Seine, the first African film (Vieyra, 1975: 15). After eighty years of colonisation (the last country to be independent was the Zimbabwein 1980 - see Gugler, 2003: xii), the Independence of Africa conducts the black African directors to invent a real African cinema (e.g. Ousmane Sembene’s Borrom Sarret, 1963). This freedom allows them to talk about colonialism (e.g. Med Hondo’s Sarraounia, Ousmane Sembene’s Camp de Thiaroye) as well as post-colonialism. Two Senegalese directors, Ousmane Sembene and Djibril Diop Mambety, realize two satires of their society: Xala (1974) and Hyenas (1992). The first movie presents a corrupted bourgeois who become impotent while his third wedding. The second one relates the story of a poor village that want to save itself thanks to a past villager who had become multimillionaire. Using those two examples, this essay will try to show how these directors critic the Western influences and the society’s divisions thanks to political, cultural and social issues.
