La renaissance des représentations sur la femme en Afrique contemporaine. De la posture victimaire à l’héroïne dans les productions discursives et artistiques en RD Congo

Africa is fundamentally a patriarchal society. And the social discourses circulating in thiscontinent underline representations with very demeaning negative stereotypes towards thewomen. This is, indeed, a behavioral and linguistic credo that has long frozen women in avictimwood posture. Today, the situation is shifting towards a certain renewal of this apriori sexist collective imagination. The challenge is to build a heroine posture that nowrepresents women as the pillar of Africa’s socio-economic development in the dynamics ofcontemporary sustainable development goals. Thus, this study analyzes through adiversified corpus which takes into account both paremic orality, literary production andordinary discourse, the socio-discursive mechanisms of this discourse of societal issues in arapidly changing RD Congo.
