Ivorian literature, Africanized french, World literary systemAbstract
Taking Franco Moretti's (2000) argument as a starting point, which argues how the modern novel emerges in peripheral cultures not as an autonomous development, but as a problematic and unstable reconciliation between a formal foreign influence and the local contentes. I seek to think in this article how Kourouma manipulates the language of the colonizer (French) to express in it the feelings and realities imagined in his mother tongue (Malinké).and how the struggle for recognition takes place in the world literary system.
