A. S. Pushkin in the creative heritage of Léopold Sédar Senghor
Abstract
The article is dedicated to the analysis of the image of A. S. Pushkin and his poetry in the creative legacy of the French-speaking poet and one of the founders of the Negritude movement L. S. Senghor. The study aims to identify the role of A. S. Pushkin’s creative heritage in the cultural space of Senegal and determine the significance of “life Pushkinism” in the African literary context. The article focuses on the phenomenon of “Pushkin in life”, which became an important paradigm for L. S. Senghor both in his biography and poetic work. The scientific novelty of the research lies in identifying and substantiating the unique role of Pushkin’s creative heritage in the cultural space of Senegal and determining the significance of “life Pushkinism” in the African literary context. This comprehensive study is the first one to demonstrate how Pushkin’s works are perceived and interpreted in this cultural environment. The results of the study show that there are several episodes in L. S. Senghor’s biography that are parallel to certain events in the life of A. S. Pushkin. Similarities were also identified in the poetic texts created within the framework of Romanticism; a style shared by both authors.
