Drawing on the theoretical reflections of Abiola Irele, Daria Tunca, and Lindiwe Dovey, how would you explain the problems with the concepts of African literature and African cinema? Why do you think these scholars’ critical attempts to redefine these concepts are important?
Abiola Irele and Lindiwe Dovey foreground the significance of oral tradition in modern African literary and cinematic production. Building on their ideas in your analysis, describe the significance of oral tradition in Bamba Suso’s “Sunjata” and Dani Kouyaté’s Keïta! l’héritage du griot (Keita! The Heritage of the Griot).
Examine the practice of adaptation in African literature and cinema using the epic of Sunjata and Dani Kouyaté’s Keïta! l’héritage du griot (Keita! The Heritage of the Griot) to illustrate this creative and critical practice. In your response, reflect on Lindiwe Dovey’s theory of adaptation to map out the relationship between the epic poetry and the film on Sunjata.
