As it states in the introduction, the title expresses the general theme of the texts as the \u0026ldquo;conquest of freedom as affirmation and illustration of the collective personality of black peoples: of \u003cem\u003eN\u0026eacute;gritude\u003c/em\u003e\u0026rdquo;.\u0026nbsp;Bringing together essays, speeches from conferences and articles dating from 1937 to 1964 \u0026ndash; from L\u0026eacute;opold Senghor\u0026rsquo;s first major public lecture in Dakar to the years of his rise to political eminence \u0026ndash; the volume bears witness to the development of the \u003cem\u003eN\u0026eacute;gritude \u003c/em\u003ephilosophy. Similar to Senghor\u0026rsquo;s poetry, his short theoretical pieces are rather lyrical than narrative, and refer to the key concepts of \u003cem\u003eN\u0026eacute;gritude \u003c/em\u003esuch as surrealism, symbolism, sensitivity versus\u0026nbsp;rationality, rhythm, \u0026ldquo;integral humanism\u0026rdquo;, and black African civilisation. Senghor argues for a special role for black African culture to play in the building of universal civilisation. This did not stop him from seeing the features of \u003cem\u003eN\u0026eacute;gritude \u003c/em\u003ein the artworks of Pierre Soulages and Emile Lahner, and writings of diverse Western writers such as Victor Hugo, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Albert Camus to name a few. However, his idea of cultural \u003cem\u003em\u0026eacute;tissage\u003c/em\u003e, or hybridisation has often become a target for criticism. Senghor\u0026rsquo;s speech \u003cem\u003eLes Belges au Congo\u003c/em\u003e (Belgians in Congo), which is included in the volume, is particularly controversial. His admiration of Belgium as a crossroads of civilisations, where the \u0026ldquo;Latin spirit\u0026rdquo; put \u0026ldquo;everythingin its order\u0026rdquo;, as well as, his understanding of the Belgian mission as key in the creation of afro-latine civilisation, might be interpreted as an apology for the colonisation of the Congo.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eDit boek is het eerste deel in een reeks boeken die de titel \u003cem\u003eLibert\u0026eacute;\u003c/em\u003e (vrijheid) draagt. Zoals in de inleiding wordt vermeld, verwijst de titel naar de overkoepelende thematiek van de teksten: de \u0026ldquo;verovering van de vrijheid als (...) verdediging en illustratie van de collectieve persoonlijkheid van de zwarte volkeren: van n\u0026eacute;gritude.\u0026rdquo; \u003cem\u003e Libert\u0026eacute; 1\u003c/em\u003e bundelt essays, conferentietoespraken en artikelen uit de periode 1937-1964 \u0026ndash; van Senghors eerste belangrijke publieke optreden in Dakar tot en met de jaren van zijn opkomst als eminent politicus \u0026ndash; en getuigt van de ontwikkeling van de n\u0026eacute;gritude-filosofie. Net als zijn gedichten zijn Senghors korte theoretische stukken eerder lyrisch dan verhalend, en verwijzen ze naar de sleutelconcepten van n\u0026eacute;gritude, zoals surrealisme, symboliek, gevoeligheid versus rationaliteit, ritme, \u0026#39;integraal humanisme\u0026rsquo; en zwarte Afrikaanse beschaving. Senghor pleit voor een speciale rol voor de zwarte Afrikaanse cultuur in de opbouw van de universele beschaving. Toch ziet hij ook kenmerken van n\u0026eacute;gritude in de kunstwerken van Pierre Soulages en Emile Lahner en in geschriften van diverse westerse schrijvers als Victor Hugo, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe en Albert Camus. Zijn idee van \u0026lsquo;culturele m\u0026eacute;tissage\u0026rsquo; of hybridisering is echter vaak een doelwit van kritiek. Senghor\u0026#39; toespraak \u003cem\u003eLes Belges au Congo \u003c/em\u003e (De Belgen in Congo), ook opgenomen in de bundel, is bijzonder controversieel. Zijn bewondering voor Belgi\u0026euml; als kruispunt van beschavingen, waar de \u0026ldquo;Latijnse geest (...) elk ding op zijn plaats\u0026rdquo; zet, maar ook zijn kijk op de Belgische missie als een sleutel tot de creatie van een Afro-Latijnse beschaving, kunnen ge\u0026iuml;nterpreteerd worden als een excuus voor de kolonisatie van Congo.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[]}
