Le prophète, son récit et l’histoire : Lumumba au cinéma

Abstract

Patrice Lumumba est devenu un véritable mythe qui a subjugué l’imaginaire d’une génération marquée par les violences (post)coloniales. À partir d’une lecture narratologique, cette étude montre comment le cinéma déconstruit le discours impérialiste sur un homme dont la trajectoire rappelle celle de Jésus Christ.Patrice Lumumba has become a veritable myth in the imagination of generations of people marked by (post)colonial acts of violence. Through a narratological reading of Raoul Peck’s films, this article shows how cinema deconstructs the imperialist representation of the Congolese politician, a man whose trajectory reminds of that of Jesus-Christ
