Les éditions RODOPI (Amsterdam, New York, NY 2012) viennent de faire paraître Style in African Literature-Essays on Literary Stylistics and Narrative Styles, 444 pages. ISBN: 978-90-420-3476-1.

« Postcolonial and contemporary African literatures have always been marked by an acute sensitivity to the politics of language, an attentiveness inscribed in the linguistic fabric of their own modes of expression. It is curious  however, that despite the prevalence of a much-touted ‘linguistic turn’ in twentieth century theory and cultural production, language has frequently been neglected by literary studies in general ».

Les éditions RODOPI publient les travaux de la « Internationale Forschungen zur Allgemeinen und Vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft » de l’Université de Vienne (Autriche).
