dc.description.abstractThis article investigates the manner in which the most-discussed contemporary Francophone African intellectual, Alain Mabanckou, is considered a figure of scandal, first by comparing him to previous scandalous figures in the Francophone arena (Ouologuem, Beyala) then by discussing his interventions regarding the political commitment of the writer. This is followed by a discussion of Mabanckou's use of new media, prize systems, and his role as writer-critic-academic, which have contributed to the creation of a unique platform from which to generate scandal
