Polylinguisme musical et cultivation discursive du « Je-féminin » à travers « Le Christ selon l’Afrique » de Calixthe Beyala : une pratique linguistique pour le militantisme inclusif

Coming from a patriarchal society, Calixthe Beyala belongs to that generation of writers who decided to break the silence imposed on them by men. Her battle is marked by a linguistic revolution, the use of a sexually marked language, and the manipulation of grammatical norms in speech, which translate her inner rebellion.
Le Christ Selon l’Afrique is full of allusions to artists, musicians, singers, composer-authors, song interpreters from different horizons who marked the showbizz world be it classical or contemporary. This brings about a place of
meeting for different consciences, and the gathering of multiple ideologies. The text thus becomes an intentional and conscious construction, a hymn to cultural diversity, and the acceptance of otherness. One could wonder how through
music, the process of introducing different tunes in literary world could partake in a linguistic cultivation of an inclusive claiming ideology. Our aim is to show that women individuation which is a major characteristic of the writer, and
marked here by pluri-lingualism, guides the reader towards a new way of understanding the World. She uses a metonymic and metaphorical language, represented by different elements which shows multiple voices present in society
and their ties. By so doing, she endures the wellbeing of her project aimed at giving value to the persecuted. Building that contemporary architecture where neither races and nor genres defined by the traditional patriarchal society would
exist. Instead, she tries to build a society where singularity is integrated in plurality. This study goes with the principles of speech analysis and more precisely, the heuristic approach of speech.
