Saharan Africa, Antilles etc.) through the analysis of extracts from principal “classical”
texts (Chamoiseau, Glissant, Césaire) as well as of texts by contemporary authors (Depestre,
Mabanckou, Slimani, Kundera). A critical theoretical reflection – postcolonial theories
– e.g. Edward Saïd (Orientalism, 1978; Culture and Imperialism, 1993), Gayatri

Culture, 1994) or Bill Ashcroft (The Empire Writes Back: Theory and Practice in Postcolonial
Literatures, 1989) and Jean-Marc Moura, Jean-Louis Joubert.
