Vulgarisation scientifique et dialogisme multimodal en littérature africaine contemporaine Des modes de déclinaison aux enjeux épistémo-éthiques

Résumé

This study examines the forms and challenges of popularizing science in the field of
contemporary African literature. Building on the Bakhtinian dialogue and drawing its material
from Roman Jakobson’s situation of communication, it looks in turn at the modalities that
articulate this communication strategy in the university landscape, its functionalities and the
epistemological and ethical issues that underlie it. At the end of our analysis, it emerges that the
popularisation of science is indispensable for the establishment of a dynamic of fruitful dialogical
exchanges between researchers and laymen.
