Abstract

Abstract. If the age-old problem of the status of African women is still a subject for reflection in the third millennium, it is because male hegemony has still not yielded to the weight of the many struggles for equality that have been waged since the 1970s. Victims of a social configuration that keeps them in a position of subalternity, African women are subjected to patriarchal domination that denies them any autonomy. In French-language black African novels, this balance of power has been represented in a number of ways. While some women resign themselves to, or even indulge in, their reification, others, on the other hand, who are considered rebels, opt for transgression and denunciation of a regime they find oppressive by putting their bodies on show. Mots-clés : Confiscation, corps féminin, déconstruction, patriarcat, résistance. Keywords: Confiscation, female body, deconstruction, patriarchy, resistance.
