Une Francophonie Plurielle: Langues, idees et cultures en mouvement

Text in French. In this book a number of internationally recognised experts explore the long experience in the French-speaking world of encounters between languages and cultures due to migration. Through analyses of language use and various artistic forms of expression, the articles present answers to a number of contemporary questions relating to the interaction of culture, language and history. The articles represent the geo-cultural spread of the French-speaking world on the one hand and a wide range of approaches to the study of the fields of sociolinguistics, post-colonialism, literature sociology, and film analysis on the other. The book illustrates historical, linguistic and cultural subjects and it presents various artistic means of expression: literature, film, and strip cartoons.
