Description
Summary:Our aim in this paper is to study in The Suns of Independence, by Ahmadou Kourouma, the episode that constitutes the tragic end story of the novel: the death of Fama. Our reading of this event lies on crossing two interpretations: a doubled mythification of the demythification of this death. Starting from a detail, that is, the lack of a funerary ritual to Fama, who is the main character in this novel, we will question about this narrative choice. It is through the four steps that underly the ethnocritic approach that we analyze the way in which the funeral ritual was subverted in the text, and the incidences of this scriptural treatment on the demythification and the re-mythification of the death of Fama.
