La posture médiatique de Tierno Monénembo

Abstract

Tierno Monénembo is renowned for his outspoken stance against dictatorship in Africa and the perceived powerlessness of intellectuals to effect meaningful change. This position is deeply rooted in his own harrowing experiences in Guinea, a country plagued by the violent authoritarian rule of Sékou Touré. It constitutes a central element of his biography and serves as a means of maintaining a connection to his homeland and the African continent more broadly. This study explores how Monénembo establishes a digital presence, both to promote his literary works and to amplify his political engagement. His media strategy demonstrates that the book is not the only medium through which he has cultivated and sustained a meaningful relationship with his readership.
