Guérir les blessures de l'Afrique du Sud
2009
On the eve of the democratic elections scheduled in South Africa in 2009, this collection of essays analyses the many ways in which South Africans have been trying to heal the wounds of apartheid, as advocated in Nelson Mandela’s famous 1994 speech, delivered at the dawn of the ‘ new ’ South Africa. The articles encompass such diverse fields as politics, literature, cinema, welfare policies or education, and they all seek to explore the sea change which totally reshaped South African identity in the last fifteen years that followed the demise of apartheid.

South (2016) et North (2018) de Frank Owen : diptyque post-apocalyptique américain ou sud-africain ?
2020
National audience; La présente communication se propose d'examiner les représentations d'un avenir post-apocalyptique dans le diptyque South (2016) et North (2018) de Frank Owen et de s'interroger sur une possible hybridation des imaginaires post-apocalyptiques.

Identité et espace chez André Brink: Looking on Darkness, Rumours of Rain et Imaginings of Sand
2007
This article explores André Brink's conception of identity in terms of space. Examining three novels which all revolve around a first-person narrator exploring his/her own identity, Looking on Darkness, Rumours of Rain and Imaginings of Sand, it shows that Brink's conception of identity is both spatial and familial: characters try to become "rooted" in South African soil, but this rooting process is achieved only in the post-apartheid novel, Imaginings of Sand. A brief comparison with Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon tries to shed light on the source of Brink's spatial conception of identity.
