Literature and activism in the works of B. Wongar and J. M. G. Le Clézio

Summary/Abstract: This paper will analyze the works of B. Wongar and J. M. G. Le Clézio with an attempt to present and critically examine the reasons which led them to engage in (post)colonial subjects and emphasize the similarities in the assessment of the (post) colonial society and culture of domination about which Wongar and Le Clézio write in their literary texts. Their works to a large extent present a severe critique of the modern world. These authors try to indicate how western culture, under the guise of „globalization“ and „multiculturalism“, continues to develop the practice established in the age of the great imperial conquest. The article also discusses what encouraged these authors to the voluntary exile from civilization and cultural matrix of the West and turning them to other cultures. The paper points out the complementarity of their literary texts, particularly in the selection of topics, and also examines the possible parallels, considering the fact that they belong to the synchronous moment, although acting independently of one another. A comparative analysis of their work includes a reference to the corpus of texts of postcolonial literary criticism. This, of course, includes a wider anthropological view, because this kind of literature involves more extensive cultural perception. In the case of these authors, literature isn’t just descriptive and artistic mode, but type of activism, which is to defend the achievements of primary cultures of ancient heritage of knowledge, and that just disappear, or indirectly by technocratic societies, which date from the first colonization to the present day.
