In both it is possible to note that authorship figurations address to two kinds of crisis: political and social dilemmas from Africa and also, in terms of individual subjectivity crisis, to the dilemmas of the poetic person, following the path of modernity but adding to it something new: the concern with body and corporality of scripture.
