La conscience écologique dans Feu de Brousse de Tchicaya U Tam’si

Résumé

The objective of this article is to show that the poetry of Tchicaya U Tam'si , like French realistic and surrealist poetic texts, translates a certain mental representation of the real and the surreal of the relationship between human beings and non-human beings. humans (plants and animals), and their living environment. The problem of this study is built around an essential question which can be summarized as follows:What is Tchicaya U Tam’si’s insight into ecological destruction? Two secondary questions are added to this main question: What does Tchicaya U Tam’si think about the d estruction of plant ecosystems? What does he think about the destruction of animal ecosystems? The hypothesis formulated in conjunction with this problem consists of saying that in the poetic work of the selected corpus, Tchicaya U Tam'si thinks that the d estruction of plant ecosystems contributes to the damage to flora in its physical representation. He further believes that the destruction of animal ecosystems contributes to the erasure of fauna in its metaphysical dimension or in its surreality. To this end, Tchicaya U Tam’si formulates poetic structures likely to challenge the conscience of humans in the fight against bush fire, and therefore against the destruction of flora and fauna. In the context of this study, ecological awareness can be read from t he preservation of ecosystems of both flora and fauna. Text linguistics, semiotics and ecopoetics, or ecocriticism constitute theoretical approaches likely to lead this study towards a scientific and objective reading of the corpus selected.
