AbstractThe novelist Were Were Liking has produced three novels with a particular aesthetic that she refers to as “chant-roman”.Those novels alternate, in a pronounced way, between song and narration. The song, talked about here, is polyphonic and poetic form. It is taken from the African oral character of which the particularity is to level in the same register the song, the epic, and the tale. The external structure of these songs gives to the novel the appearance of a poetic text. As to internal structure, it builds its signification through the structure of the songs which their objective is to pass on historical or cultural knowledge. The author's vision of the world is read through organisation that he does with this cultural and historical heritage. The narration is distinguished from the classical account. The narrator is a storyteller. The narrator frequently substitutes himself to the community from which he quotes the “saying”. These texts show originality in the reform, of novelty in the novelistic genre.
Keywords: chant, narration, structure, conte, voix, polyphonie, oralité, esthétique romanesque, song, narration, structure, tale, voice, polyphony, unwritten, novel aesthetic.

A one-day conference about Music and nation in the inter-war period (Europe-The United States and South America) took place on 10th December 2015 at the Maison de la Recherche in Paris. Musicologists and historians questioned the connection between music and the national feeling that can be found in interwar democracies. In studies about the 19th century and authoritarian regimes, this link has already been put forward. However, this day is the first step of an international research project launched by the Department of Cultural History of Contemporary (or Modern) Societies at the University of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and by the laboratory of Synergy, Languages, Arts and Music (slam) of the University of Evry-Val d'Essonne as well as the Institute of Research in Musicology (cnrs, University Paris-Sorbonne). The association between “music and nation” was questioned again in 2016 in Manchester. In the near future, the issue will be at stake in Montreal during a symposium which will take place in October 2018.
