“I am not politically committed. What I write is true. I do not write to support an ideological political theory, a revolution, etc. I write the truth, as I feel it, without taking sides. I write things as they are. As the teller of truth, I am not sure of being committed.” When En Attendant le vote des bêtes sauvages was published, these were the words Kourouma used to justify his creative approach of putting fiction into the service of historical truth, of making it a path of access to the memory of the present, a search for the reality of the world and its beings within the fictional. The present study examines the methods Kourouma employs to rewrite history and the memory of the present in this novel.

AbstractAs demonstrations of power, royal processions in the favoured towns of France illustrated the relationship between the monarch and his towns and gave these urban centres the opportunity for self-representation. The methodological objective of this paper is to determine whether descriptive accounts of these royal processions can be used to reconstruct the social fabric particular to each town.This paper is concerned with one of the elements of these processions: the urban pageant which, to greet the king in proper fashion, passed through the city walls just a few leagues from the town. Its representation of the townsfolkd showed less of the urban social corps than it did of the frameworks system of this social corps. Having been gathered together according to their trades, the townsfolk soon lost their definition within the context of the formalized military parade which was becoming common in the sixteenth century. The paper looks first at the fascination for things military which developed in the sixteenth century — and which gave to such pageants a character that was at the same time political and festive. Then, by comparing several such pageants throughout France, it examines the social intercourse they engendered and evalutes the comparitive significance of the war and the trades as social framework system.
