Senegalese Writer Mohamed Mbougar Sarr. Laureate of the Goncourt Prize 2021 in the Media Discourse

Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the undertaken research was to present how texts devoted to literary events function in contemporary media discourse. The article analyzes the reaction of the French-speaking media to the literary event of the Francophone world – presenting a Senegalese writer with the most prestigious literary award in France. The authors review the major media publishing in French in which the figure of the laureate Mohamed Mbougar Sarr was celebrated, the content of the awarded novel as well as the opinions of critics and journalists. The online versions of, among others, Le Monde, Le Courrier International, Le Soleil, LaPresse.ca, Le Soir, L’Observateur Paalga and audiovisual media such as RFI, TV5 Monde, France 24, TSR were analyzed. The choice of the aforementioned media was motivated by the desire to investigate the issue in journalistic texts, diverse in terms of themes, content, and style. The authors also try to explain the phenomenon of hatred towards the laureate expressed by some Senegalese Facebook and Twitter users.
