" Since 2005, the Artistic Creation Chair at the Collège de France has welcomed creative artists from all fields: architecture, visual arts, music, theater... Alain Mabanckou is the first writer to occupy this chair. With this appointment, the Assembly of Professors wished to highlight creative writing and literary talent, but also to mark its desire "to give African studies the place they deserve, and to be at the forefront of reflection on a continent and cultures that will mark the century that is beginning"...
