| Summary: | The review of the Congolese catholic weekly La Semaine Africaine during a decade (1989-1999) shows three major topics concerning the youngsters: the decline of the university of Brazzaville, the Dr Jekill and Mr Hyde image of teenagers, either grassroots militants or militarised in militias and the dandyism of a marginal group called the Sapeurs and last the question of retrocedence of the school buildings to the catholic church.The journalistic styles about the facts related are in all ways opposed: the state university is seen on the decline but the retrocession of state schools to the catholic church is a challenge that the church must uphold. The war becomes in 1993 the major Umwelt of the Congolese society, its morbid consequences on youth, the overwhelming violence are mentioned during all those years. The university becomes the symbol of sacrifice and decay and shows the hiatus between ideals and the daily reality of its management. The critic of the Marien N’gouabi university works as a catharsis, as if it would supply the critic of the Congolese state. |
