Resumen de L’impérialisme écologique ou la recolonisation par l’agriculture industrielle: Une l: une lecture de "La Banane" de Franck Bieleu
Using concepts from ecocriticism to analyse the narrative structures of the film, the article explains how the Njombé Penja banana plantation (PHP), construed as a replica of the colonial model of production and spatial organization, leaves the local populations with a strong feeling of dispossession and alienation. It concludes that geographical and ecological forms of imperialism contributed, alongside sociopolitical issues, to the failure of the post-independence African utopia.
