Our paper tries to show some of the narrative and rhetoric strategies used by the novelist, journalist, poet and important scholar born in the Republic of Congo, Alain Mabanckou. More exactly, we shall try to discuss the dynamic tension between the tragic tribulations and comical outcomes of the adventures of the main characters, as well as to analyze some of the elements of humour in their discours. We shall concentrate on two works principally, the first novel by Mabanckou, Bleu Blanc Rouge (1998) and another quite recent one, Black Bazar (2009). Our working hypothesis is that the above-mentioned tension is influenced and ensues from a correlation with a Foucauldian heterotopia, with dynamique transitions between two main topoi: that of Paris, representing the Metropole and that of Brazzaville, Pointe-Noire or a typical commonplace village somewhere in the Republic of Congo, symbolising the postcolonial chronotope, laden with its colonial past.
