"the easter rising of 1916: A step towards the independence of ireland analysed through the works of irish writers."

The 1916 Easter Rising, an unsuccessful insurrection which resulted in the Irish War of Independence, generated a deep change in the political landscape in Ireland. The purpose of this work is to describe this crucial period in the history of Ireland through the voices of Irish writers who expressed their ideas and feelings about the way Ireland was close to gaining its independence. Thanks to songs, poems and literature, I analysed the events of that period through the eyes of the Irish people. Authors like Roddy Doyle and William Butler Yeats were fundamental in examining this topic very thoroughly. Through their works, they were able to convey their knowledge about the events of those years and, at the same time, to give their own opinion, as Irish people, on the topic.

Reconnaissance au Cameroun au travers de la culture urbaine ou "Hein Père" de Stanley Enow.

Hip Hip camerounais cesse d'etre une tribune où se guillotine vainement un gouvernement insensible depuis des ans. L'introduction de ''hein pere'' au travers le MIC de Stanley Enow vient rendre hommage à la jeunesse camerounaise et au Cameroun. Finis les portraits sombres d'une jeunesse oubliée par les pouvoirs publics. Ils sont fiers et et le chantent. Ils sont high malgré tout et compte bien y rester. Ce single exhibite la grandeur du Cameroun, des acteurs de la culture et de la jeunesse infatigable, qui avec ce concept ''onesthighpere'' se hisse au plus haut point.

The Assertion of Identity: Storytelling and Testimony in the Works of Edwidge Danticat

Haitian-American author Edwidge Danticat evokes the Haitian tradition of storytelling in many of her novels and short story collections. A tradition formulated by vodou religion and the amalgamation of African cultures, storytelling acts to entertain, educate and enlighten the people of Haiti. Additionally, her novels are often written in the context of traumatic events in Haitian history. While Danticat's works have been studied with focus on their depiction of storytelling and of trauma, little has been done on the restorative power that storytelling provides. In this thesis, I seek to examine the potential for Danticat's characters and works to create narratives that build community, present testimony, and aid traumatized individuals in recovery.
