Mots-clés :
Miigration, Nigerian Diaspora, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Ben Okri, Digital Humanities, Comparative literature, Data visualisationRésumé
Cette étude examine l’impact de la migration sur les calendriers de publication, les axes thématiques, les distinctions littéraires et les traductions des écrivains de la diaspora nigériane Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie et Ben Okri. En adoptant une approche mixte intégrant des analyses qualitatives et quantitatives, la recherche explore comment la migration influence leurs parcours littéraires et élargit la portée mondiale de la littérature nigériane. En utilisant des outils des humanités numériques tels que TimelineJS de KnightLab, Flourish et Google Sheets, l’étude visualise des données issues de sources fiables comme Amazon et Goodreads pour analyser les accomplissements internationaux de chaque auteur. Les résultats montrent que la migration façonne de manière significative les explorations thématiques d’Adichie et d’Okri, en abordant des questions complexes liées à l’identité, à la race et à l’appartenance culturelle. Cette recherche met en évidence la manière dont la visualisation numérique permet de mieux comprendre l’intersection entre migration et succès littéraire, illustrant comment ces auteurs naviguent et représentent les identités diasporiques. En fin de compte, l’étude apporte une contribution aux études littéraires africaines en soulignant le rôle de la migration dans le renforcement de l’influence mondiale et de la profondeur thématique de la littérature nigériane.
