Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Abstract
When it comes to China and Africa, one thinks spontaneously of immensity versus mosaic, but one can also be fascinated by the rooting in the past. To create La legende des siècles, a French epic, Victor Hugo allowed himself to be carried by "history listened through the gates of legend", according to his own words. Imagine what would be the writing of The legend of the millennia for China and Africa, impressive asteroids launched in the sky of time? Thousand eyes scrutinize with their camera the interactions between the people of the great country and those of the African polyarchy. We will see the tensions that worry them and the images they retain of their respective diaspora. In the end, we will focus on the plurality of perceptions, asking ourselves whether the enthusiasm will continue, and whether the relationships will remain profitable.
