Social networks and the revival of oral narratives: from conflicts to the need to create spaces for convergence

Abstract

This paper deals with the resurgence of oral narrative in Senegal through social networks. In fact, the question of giving back to the narrative all its objectives emerges. Should we return to the past and turn our backs on modernity? How can we seize the opportunity offered by this new situation to set up a popular and emancipating education? To answer these questions, we used a qualitative method which allowed us to justify this revival of the narrative and to show the possibility of setting up devices reconciling tradition and modernity of the oral narrative.
