Approxism or Socio-Existential Realism: Investigation on Contemporary Revolutionary Aesthetics in the African Novel: A Critical Reading of Seydou Badian’s in “Storm

Abstract

Realism, in the romantic universe, can be compared to a drama of marveled theater pushing the spectator outside of his being by transforming him into a creature full of unexpected gestures. This realism which reflects in the mirror the existence of man in society never ceases to launch universal calls by informing sapiens-beings to analyze, criticize and, if necessary, to rebuild their society, even the values and the cosmic practices immanent in their landscape over time and history. Realism, which henceforth, in this company, can also be designated as “Approxism” is “a force that goes”, if you will, a force in movement. It is an aquilon that awakens man in the midst of his deep sleep, warning him to react against all the negations in the itinerary of his existence in the society in which he is an integral part. In this case, the man who exists must face upsetting novelties in the society where he exists. It is such a position that characterizes “socio-existential approxism” in African literature. This work allows us to make a critical and revolutionary investigation in the contemporary African novel.
