For the general public, but in its second part, this book is a collection of sms grouped into four categories (jokes, prayers, poetry and wisdom). The text messages are arranged chronologically within each category. The first part is aimed at a small audience of researchers and specialists interested in literature and language in all its complexity and diversity. It is intended as an introduction to a theory of "cellular literature". The text you are about to read is already five years old by the time it comes to light. As this is a rapidly evolving field, here is an explanation of any anachronisms.

The triptych Power-Woman-Myth gives the woman her place in the exercise of power through the imagination of Ahmadou Kourouma. This is made visible by the myth, the place of realization of the impossible and the probable. The book exposes, certainly, the female figure of Power but never fails to integrate its male counterpart. This dialectical representation of the power is for the author a way to mean that the power does not find its legitimacy in the gender. The power is, consequently, an asexual data. Konandri Virginie decompartmentalizes genders to unify them in the mythological figure of the hermaphrodite, a being with the double valence of masculine and feminine. We will remember from her book that the exercise of power by women poses, in reality, the question of the Hero in Kourouma's novels. The author engages in a perceptive reflection on the reality, the lure and the materiality of Power in Kouroumian thought.

The mythocriticism that Virginie Konandri deploys in her progression is of Durandian and Brunelian obedience. With Gilbert Durand, she sets out to establish symbols, schemas and archetypes as the basis of literary creation, in various regimes, among Africans and Europeans. By tracing existing myths, she shows in turn how the myth liquefies to flood the literary text, how, through its indices, it emerges and signals itself in the literary and finally how the myth impels all its significance and encodes semantically the Literature. With this second part, it consecrates Pierre Brunel's approach. By integrating these two facets of mythocriticism into her methodological approach, Virginie Konandri reflects on both the sources of literary creation and its progression. The myth is then presented in her study as the origin and the finality of literature. Rigorously applying this reading to identities in literature, the author demonstrates that identity is a construction of the imaginary and of the claim.
