Proquest Dissertations Abstract Comparative Literature in the Spirit of Bandung: Script Change, Language Choice, and Ideology in African and Asian Literatures (Senegal & Indonesia) Annette Damayanti Lienau 2011 My dissertation compares the politics and poetics of language choice in the literary histories of Senegal and Indonesia as national case studies from Africa and Asia. It examines key historical moments through which the contours of literary nationalism were posited and challenged by ideologically informed, transnational literary movements (pan-Islamism and Communism). The positions of Senegal and Indonesia at the extremes of a trans-continental literary realm with an Arabic textual tradition, and the marginalization of Arabic for transcription during the colonial period, offers a primary basis for comparison between the two national contexts. The first portion of the dissertation on Senegalese literature is subdivided into three chapters, with each devoted to an author whose work represents a distinct linguistic, literary orientation in Senegal: Amadu Bamba (the Arabic language poet and founder of Senegal's most widespread Sufi Order, Muridism), Leopold Sedar Senghor (the Francophone poet and Senegal's first president and linguistic policymaker after independence), and Ousmane Sembene (the author and filmmaker whose oppositional language politics drew him to vernacular language film-making, primarily in Wolof, and to the founding of the first vernacular language journal in Senegal). By complementing my analysis on the politics and poetics of linguistic choice in the works of Amadu Bamba (in Arabic) and Senghor (in French) with an interpretation of Ousmane Sembene's work, I develop an initial method of reading that considers how the traces of foregone linguistic alternatives are nonetheless sustained in individual texts and in the fissures of Senegalese literary history. If my reading of Bamba analyzes his poetry in the context of the French colonial displacement and manipulation of Arabic within the public sphere at the turn of the twentieth century, and if my reading of Senghor's work (written in the wake of this displacement) considers Senghor's reconfiguration of French as a linguistic choice rather than a systemic imposition, Sembene's fictional re-narrations of Senegalese history present a foreshortened reading of these linguistic vicissitudes, while offering a counter-prescription (Wolof) embedded in the bilingual patterns of his written work. This "palimpsestic" interpretation of Sembene's work, in other words, not only considers its synchronic value, by examining how the linguistic texture of his work depends on bilingual narrative patterns, it also considers its diachronic value, by assessing the text itself as a historical event. Focused on Indonesian literature, the second half of the dissertation employs the interpretive methods developed in the introductory chapters, while offering comparative readings of Senegalese and Indonesian authors on the displacement of Arabic as a literary language (and a mode of transcription), the coupling of language choice and ideology, and the representation of linguistic competition in the revisionist historical fiction of leftist authors and filmmakers. The Indonesian case study is also divided into chapters devoted to representative figures of Indonesian proto-nationalist poetry (Chairil Anwar), leftist literature and film (Pramoedya Ananta Toer and Sjuman Djaya), and Indonesian authors of pan-Islamist, religious persuasion (Hamka). At the other extreme of an Arabic-language cosmopolis, my Indonesian case study begins by examining the legacy of colonial, Arabic script displacement in both the literary and political spheres, traced through the writings of the trilingual authour and chairman of Indonesia's first Islamic clerical council, Hamka (a prominent arbiter on Indonesian language politics in the "New Order"). This inaugural chapter on Indonesian literature, like my preceding work on Senegal, highlights the centrality of romanization and Arabic script displacement in the formation of a "nationalized" language, and considers its implications for the development of local literature and the projections of literary "modernity." The subsequent chapter of my Indonesian case study, on comparative experiments in leftist literature, examines the work of Pramoedya Ananta Toer (an ardent defender of socialist realism in Indonesia) and Sjumanjaya (who, like Sembene, was trained in cinematography in Moscow). In this chapter, I focus not only on the common ideological influences that inform their work, but also on the portrayal of linguistic choice in their revisionist historical fiction, their depiction of Arabic as a linguistic alternative to Malay or Wolof, and their common dignification of vernacular print culture. To conclude the joint analysis of two case studies on Senegal and Indonesia, the final chapter of the dissertation returns to a comparative examination of poetic form and poetry's reception. Beginning with a comparative reading of Senghor and the Indonesian poet Chairil Anwar (whose poetry has become synonymous with the Indonesian Revolution), the chapter explores the relationship between poetry and sacralized language, and the predicament of poetry's relative monoglossia for the bilingual poet who chooses between competing languages and scripts.

Lienau 2 Acknowledgments Lienau 3 Acknowledgments For their generous guidance and support for my dissertation project in its many incarnations, I would like to extend my greatest thanks to my advisors, Christopher Miller and Tony Day. Preliminary research for the dissertation in Dakar, Senegal, was enabled through the Yale Macmillan Predissertation Research Grant, the John F. Enders Grant, and the Yale Graduate School Language Studies Fellowship (in 2008). Further research undertaken in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Netherlands, and Egypt was made possible through a Mellon International Dissertation Research Fellowship, generously awarded by the Social Science Research Council (in 2009-2010). The dissertation was brought to completion with support from the Mellon Early Career Dissertation Completion Fellowship, granted from the American Council of Learned Societies (2010-2011). I would also like to extend my thanks to my many mentors and interlocutors in Senegal and Indonesia. For his extraordinary insights into the workings of the Wolof language, the intricacies of Senegalese culture, and Senegal's political history, Professor Souleymane Faye at the Centre de Linguistique Appliquee de Dakar, at the Universite Cheikh Anta Diop, deserves my deepest gratitude. I am extremely grateful to Abdullah Fahmy Aidara for his illuminating expositions of Amadu Bamba's thought and poetry, to Alain Sembene for his friendship and generosity during my visit to Dakar, and to Mme.

  • Looters Vs. Traitors: the Muqawama (“Resistance”) Narrative, and Its Detractors, in Contemporary Mauritania Elemine Ould Mohamed Baba and Francisco Freire
    Looters vs. Traitors: The Muqawama (“Resistance”) Narrative, and its Detractors, in Contemporary Mauritania Elemine Ould Mohamed Baba and Francisco Freire Abstract: Since 2012, when broadcasting licenses were granted to various private television and radio stations in Mauritania, the controversy around the Battle of Um Tounsi (and Mauritania’s colonial past more generally) has grown substantially. One of the results of this unprecedented level of media freedom has been the prop- agation of views defending the Mauritanian resistance (muqawama in Arabic) to French colonization. On the one hand, verbal and written accounts have emerged which paint certain groups and actors as French colonial power sympathizers. At the same time, various online publications have responded by seriously questioning the very existence of a structured resistance to colonization. This article, drawing pre- dominantly on local sources, highlights the importance of this controversy in study- ing the western Saharan region social model and its contemporary uses. African Studies Review, Volume 63, Number 2 (June 2020), pp. 258– 280 Elemine Ould Mohamed Baba is Professor of History and Sociolinguistics at the University of Nouakchott, Mauritania (Ph.D. University of Provence (Aix- Marseille I); Fulbright Scholar resident at Northwestern University 2012–2013), and a Senior Research Consultant at the CAPSAHARA project (ERC-2016- StG-716467).

  • Writing Trans-Saharan History: Methods, Sources and Interpretations Across the African Divide
    Writing Trans-Saharan History: Methods, Sources and Interpretations Across the African Divide GHISLAINE LYDON For ages, the Sahara has been portrayed as an ‘empty-quarter’ where only nomads on their spiteful camels dare to tread. Colonial ethnographic templates reinforced perceptions about the Sahara as a ‘natural’ boundary between the North and the rest of Africa, separating ‘White’ and ‘Black’ Africa and, by extension, ‘Arabs’ and ‘Berbers’ from ‘Africans’. Con- sequently, very few scholars have ventured into the Sahara despite the overwhelming historical evidence pointing to the interactions, interdependencies and shared histories of neighbouring African countries. By transcending the artificial ‘Saharan frontier’, it is easy to see that the Sahara has always been a hybrid space of cross-cultural interactions marked by continuous flows of peoples, ideas and goods. This paper discusses a methodological approach for writing Saharan history which seeks to transcend this artificial divide and is necessarily transnational. As a scholar of nineteenth and early twentieth century trans-Saharan history, I retrace the steps of trading families across several generations and markets. This research itinerary crisscrossed Saharan regions of Western Africa from Senegal, the Gambia and Mali, to the Islamic Republic of Mauritania and the Kingdom of Morocco, with stops in archi- val repositories in France. With specific reference to the art of writing African history, I discuss how my own path into the African past was shaped by ad hoc encounters with peoples, their memories and texts. But if the facts, perspectives and narratives that form the evidence I rely upon to reconstruct trans-Saharan history were collected on an accidental trajectory, the interpretation of this data followed a deliberate methodological approach.

  • Minority Rights Group International : Mauritania : Haratin
    Minority Rights Group International : Mauritania : Haratin World Directory of Minorities Africa MRG Directory –> Mauritania –> Haratin Haratin Profile The black African origin of Haratins (‘Black Moors') is beyond doubt. Their language, culture and identity are, however, Arab, the product of centuries of enslavement to Beydan masters. Beydan (‘White Moors') are descended from Berber Arabs and black African groups from the Sahara. Beydan and Haritines can appear racially indistinct and both speak dialects of Hassaniyya related to Bedouin Arabic. Moor society is traditionally divided on social and descent criteria. The slave community is divided into three levels: the total subject, the part slave, and the true Haratin. The government has long described all forms of slave as ‘haratine' or ‘newly freed', thus implying the end of slavery. Historical context In post-colonial Mauritania, urbanization and migration to some extent broke down the slave system, and certain districts of the capital Nouakchott became a haven for escaped slaves. These escapees formed the basis of the emancipation movement El Hor (the free), formed in 1974. El Hor argued that emancipation was impossible without practical measures to enforce anti-slavery laws and provide former slaves with the means to gain economic independence. To this end, it called for land reform and encouraged Haratins to set up agricultural co-operatives. El Hor's emphasis on social issues and its demand for redress and justice inevitably brought it into confrontation with the government. A substantial number of the movement's leaders were arrested, tortured and many of them exiled at the end of the 1970s. In January 1980, a military coup brought President Mohamad Khouna Ould Haidallah to power, whose government embarked on a policy of undermining the El Hor movement by appearing to satisfy its demands.

    W"HOLE NUMBER 195 (Vol. 40, No.1) January 1984 Franc!J~ Colonittl "f£o PbilateliGt USPS #207700 MAURITANIAN EPISODES (II) By Robert G. Stone (Corrections to Episode I:-the word "quarts" in FCP #194, p" 108, 3rd paragraph, is a misprint for "suarts," a native unit of liquid mensure. Page 107, 5th paragraph: Kiffa was a French Soudan postoffice during 1910-13, thereafter a Mauritanian one.)" Some Background Before continuing this pastiche of postal history, we should perhaps offer a bit more background on the country and its people. The northern 60£/0 of the country is a desert of dunes, with a few scattered date-palm oases. Moorish herdsmen migrate with their herds northward from the south during the sparse rains of summer, and back south again in the dry winter. The severe droughts of recent years have driven many of these no­ mads facing starvation to move onto southern farms 01' to the slums of the capital, putting a great strain on the economy and politics. The black farm­ ers along the north bank of the Senegal River traditionally lived a sedentary life of subsistence agriculture. There never has been any "colonization" by Europeans in Mauritania, unlike other colonies. All the people are moslems (unique among Sudanese countries) but there is a strongly intr~nched ancient caste system; the Moorish elite disdain labor in favor of power, warfare, land commerce, and look down upon the southern blacks (mostly descendants <of slaves) who tend to be more francophile and speak a Senegalese language l'ather than arabic-though many blacks (haratins) consider themselves as "Moors" in culture and language.

ROFHEART A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Comparative Literature written under the direction of Richard Serrano and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2010 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Don’t Abandon “Our Boat”: Shifting Perceptions of Emigration in Contemporary Senegalese Literature and Song By MAHRIANA L. ROFHEART Dissertation Director: Richard Serrano The dissertation argues that contemporary Senegalese novelists and hip-hop artists articulate local and global connections as a strategy to address the difficulties of emigration from Senegal. The project examines the way that novelists Aminata Sow Fall, Ken Bugul, and Fatou Diome as well as several hip-hop artists including WaGëblë, Awadi, 3GGA, and Simon Bisbi Clan approach emigration and return. The works of these authors and artists are set in contrast to earlier texts from Senegal that examine migration, wherein it is difficult and often impossible to maintain connections either in Senegal or abroad, resulting in tragic outcomes. Earlier works examined include those by Ousmane Socé, Cheikh Hamidou Kane, and Ousmane Sembene. Using literary and visual analysis of the written texts and hip-hop songs and videos, the dissertation demonstrates how the recent works strategically utilize local, national, and global affiliations to address emigration productively. Ultimately, the project demonstrates that these texts point to the need for a revised critical understanding of migration narratives from Senegal that takes ii into account the full complexity of the affiliations and backgrounds that are often central to the texts.

My deepest gratitude goes to my parents, who invested in my education from young age and supported me every step of the way. I also benefited from a warm social and intellectual environment at Madrasatu Sabiloul Houda in Zinder. My sincere appreciation to its founder, Cheikh Chouaibou Abdullah Saleh, who has shown me a quasi-parental level of support. I could not have attended the University of Florida’s Graduate School without the help and generous mentorship of Leonardo A. Villalòn. It has been the greatest honor of my life to be his student. Leonardo A. Villalòn has advised me, assisted me, inspired me, and encouraged me throughout my doctoral journey in ways that words could hardly describe. Certainly, this dissertation could not have been written without his guidance. I will be forever grateful for his immense generosity, kindness, and unyielding support. Over the last six years, I have been fortunate enough to be part of the Sahel Research Group and to regularly attend the Sahel Seminar meetings. I have enjoyed the collegial and stimulating intellectual atmosphere in these settings. This dissertation would not have looked the same without the valuable insights that I gleaned from various conversations that I had with friends and colleagues at the University of Florida.
