Chadian Political Society and Culture of Forgiveness A Perception of Living Together in Al-Istifakh ou l’idylle de mes amis by Marie-Christine Koundja

Résumé

Can the culture of forgiveness that runs through the examination of the political society of Marie Christine Koundja’s fiction sediment better relational perspectives between individuals to the point of allowing a new city to emerge and a new man more concerned with the other in a Chad ravaged by a deep crisis of living together? Based on the sociocriticism developed by Pierre Bourdieu and Henri Mitterand, the present study examines, in three parts, the innovative paths that should lead to an imminent return of social peace in a romanticized universe where the glimpses of the good life have given rise to impostures of various kinds.
