Size: OS

The work investigates the role of Nouchi, an Ivorian creole mixing French, local languages, and foreign influences, in shaping a unique literary and cultural identity. It traces Nouchi's historical evolution from colonial pidgin (e.g., French of the Senegalese riflemen and Moussa French) to a vibrant urban language popularized by music genres like Zouglou, Coupé-décalé, and rap. The book analyzes how Ivorian writers incorporate Nouchi into literature not only as a mode of expression but also as an aesthetic and ideological stance. Through case studies of works by authors like Diégou Bailly and Bandaman Maurice, it highlights how Nouchi conveys enunciation, identity, and social critique-especially concerning political corruption, violence, and youth marginalization. Using social discourse theory and literary field theory, the author shows that Nouchi embodies a form of resistance, pride, and truth-telling. It functions as a vehicle for communication, identity construction, and artistic innovation. The document also illustrates the poetic and rhetorical features of Nouchi, including metaphors, truncations, and inventive use of ICT terms.
