Résumé :
Set in a context of colonization, Butterfly Burning is a fictional work that digs out the colonized’s mind to illustrate the brutality and unfairness of a ruthless system that gangrenes a whole community’s reason of existence. This paper addresses a reflection based on the social and political meanings of the praxis of silence among men and women deprived of the backbone of their raison d’être. It focuses on the built-in meaning attached to framework, sex, and music in an ambient world silenced by the readable and audible voice of voiceless.
