Cultural Nationalism In Mouloud Mammeri’s Le Banquet, La Mort Absurde Des Aztéques (1975) And Wole Soyinka’s Death And The King’s Horseman (1973)
Résumé: The present research paper studies the issue of cultural nationalism in two works of African post-colonial theatre: Mouloud Mammeri’s Le Banquet, preceded by an essay entitled La Mort Absurde des Azthèques (1975), and Wole Soyinka’s Death and the King’s Horseman (1973). Our major interest in this memoire was to study and compare the authors’ use of their respective cultural icons as a means of resisting European colonialism and its continuing effects. In fact, throughout our analysis, we managed to establish considerable areas of comparison between both nationalist playwrights and their works. To achieve our purpose, we have relied on Benedict Anderson’s Notion of nationalism as explained in his book Imagined Communities (1983). We have attempted to show how the two authors make use of cultural nationalism to defend their nations and protect their identities. It is centered on the way they make use of stage performance as a medium of reaffirming their identities.
