Book Synopsis
This book examines the relationship between literature, the environment and ecology in contemporary French-language literature from the Maghreb, sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian Ocean islands. It builds on the observation that, in the age of the Anthropocene, ecological awareness is also expressed in fiction that challenges realist aesthetics, such as fables, fairy tales and magic realism. Adopting an ecopoetic perspective and covering a spectrum ranging from local issues to ecological disasters, this study explores the genres, literary modes and writing styles that highlight the agency of the natural world and reflect the instability of the relationship between humans and their environment.Ce livre interroge les rapports entre la littérature, l'environnement et l'écologie dans la littérature francophone contemporaine du Maghreb, de l'Afrique subsaharienne et des îles de l'océan Indien. Il part du constat qu'à l'époque de l'Anthropocène une conscience écologique s'exprime aussi dans des fictions qui s'affranchissent de l'esthétique réaliste, comme la fable, le conte, le réalisme magique... S'inscrivant dans une perspective écopoétique et couvrant un spectre qui va des enjeux locaux aux catastrophes écologiques, cette étude explore les genres, les modes littéraires et les procédés d'écriture qui mettent en avant l'agentivité du monde naturel et interrogent l'instabilité des rapports entre les humains et leur environnement.
