The body in the impasse of Daniel Biyaoula - support of representations and language of identity malaise

This book deals with the questions of social representations starting from the glance carried on the body. The body can be a major factor in defining individuals in society through the imaginary images it nourishes. Delivered to the Western world, especially France, the black characters in Daniel Biyaoula's L'impasse experience difference that stumbles on a real identity malaise. Using a psychoanalytical and imagological approach, the study shows that the body, understood both as a space that opens to the world and as a place of multiple representations, is a language because of its expressiveness.
