| Summary: | The Rwandan genocide of 1994 has inspired several works in various
fields, including literature. At the same time and since the Holocaust, the literary
depiction of genocide and mass murder has raised complex issues about the
relationship between ethics and esthetics.
Using a multidisciplinary approach, the goal of this dissertation is to place
the literary narratives of the Rwandan genocide within the larger context of recent
studies on the issues of identity as well as the perpetration of evil. The
dissertation, thus, hopes to provide a better understanding of both the universal
and specific dimensions of the Rwandan genocide. |
