Abstract:Emerging artistic expressions in Burkina Faso include oral and written literature and cultural manifestations. In this special issue (in English and French), Pascal K. Somé and Alain Joseph Sissao both look at novel writing as a process and analyse aspects borrowed from oral literature, which is a source of authenticity for the Burkinabè novel. Amadou Bissiri looks at Jean-Pierre Guingané's dramatic production and his use of the war veteran in social action and intellectual drama. André Kaboré and Georges Sawadogo both examine the well-known Burkinabè poet, Frédéric Titinga Pacéré, creator of the concept of 'bendrologie' ('drumology'). Salaka Sanou examines the operation of literature and the mask. Lalbila Yoda considers the issue of literary translation in a multilingual context, based on the case of Fidèle Pawindbé Rouamba's novel 'Le carnaval de la mort'. Two papers are devoted to oral literature: Sié Alain Kam proposes a new approach to the classification of the different literary genres usually studied under oral literature, and Albert Ouédraogo discusses the renewed interest in folk tales based on the experience of the Burkinabè national television, which has launched a new series of programmes dedicated to oral storytelling. Contributions on the arts are by Boulou Ebanda de B'Béri (a semiological study of the female body in two films by Burkinabè filmmaker Gaston Jean-Marie Kaboré), Jean Célestin Ky (the place of the visual arts in the Semaine Nationale de la Culture) and Rémy Rousseau (other frames of expression for plastic artists outside artistic competitions). The issue ends with a contribution by Louis Millogo on the language of Burkinabè masks, which he considers esoteric. [ASC Leiden abstract]
