The present paper is a reading of painting of Congolese miseries in «Mathématiques congolaises» by In Koli Jean Bofane; a Congolese writer who is passionate about Congolese literature over the last two decades. To cary out this study, we used sociocritical, thematic and pragmatic methods. The interest of this activity lies in the fact that the image of the Congolese as represented in this novel presents life in the Congo as a sterm and each one tries to draw his cassava from the fire. The article focuses on the infernal life in the Congo, its violence, painting and misery. The text focuses on the relevance of the words used in this novel.
The current paper deals with the reading of dimension of identity within ‘’ Ici ça va’’ belonging to Charles Djungu - Simba, a renowned Congolese star of literature for the last two decades. To carry out this study, we have had recourse to two approaches including: socio-critical and thematic methods. The interest resides in the fact that in this activity, the image of a Negro as represented in this novel reveals two facets: national identity as well as a borrowing one. A black man is violently bloated; the identity in this novel has become a motif to justify an exile. After setting a conceptual device, this article focuses on two major aspects: on one hand, the painting of African power as the source of chaos, on the other hand, the eradication clash to justify the identity crisis in the host country. The text questions the pertinence of words used in the narrative.
