Valeur des Soleils des Indépendances au regard de la théorie littéraire, entre poétique romanesque et littérature politique

There is no denying that Ahmadou Kourouma’s novel Les Soleils des Indépendances is a work of high literary merit ; however it has to be proved. Is it the result of internal or external values? Can we not consider separately its value, its content and its scope? This axiological approach has to use specific evaluation processes which have to be assessed, such as literarity, sociocriticism and pragmatics of discourse. Yet can we not accept the fact that its value lies in the eye of the reader or in interpretive communities?
