Description - Visages Du Feminin Et Esthetique Du Mythe Chez Jean-Marie Adiaffi by Oudraogo
While in most African cultures and beliefs mythical characters are almost exclusively male figures, in the work of novelist and poet Jean-Marie Adiaffi (from Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa), female figures stand and act as preeminent mythical characters who attain divine and transcendent proportions at times. Female figures stand as central figures in legends, folktales, and allegories, and act as key agents in certain ritual performances, which associates them with the realm of the unknown, thus transcending the confines of human condition, stature, and faculties. This innovative vision of the female figure is explored by this book entitled Faces of Women and the Aesthetics of Myth in Jean-Marie Adiaffi's Work.
