撒哈拉以南非洲法语戏剧：起源、发展与趋势

Abstract:Drama is the earliest French literary genre in sub-Saharan Africa. The development of French drama in sub-Saharan Africa has been tortuous. From the perspective of artistic techniques of drama creation，it began by imitating Western classical drama，developing into early popular folk drama，then into Westernized drama and local drama. During the 1990s，it developed into contemporary drama. The creative techniques of French drama in sub-Saharan Africa are full of diversity. While Westernized drama is based on traditional western drama techniques，local drama is an innovative product of traditional African aesthetics which modernize African drama. Few attempts of such drama have succeeded. However，contemporary African drama did get rid of the shackles of “Africa” as the main source of its creation，and integrated more other comprehensive elements for creation. As a result of this，the language of contemporary drama is more poetic，there is more emphasis on the aesthetic functions，and the content embodies humanism as well as the themes of identity and violence.
