In his sociological works, Michel Maffesoli studies the orientation of the modern and individualistic paradigm towards a collectivist postmodernity based on the theme of the sharing of personal interests. He talks about the evolution of the concept of the modern egocentric Individual in search of individual Progress. According to Maffesoli, in the post-modern era this individual becomes a Person (or Persona) identified in a more socialized framework, in search of a collective Progress within the social body. The target society in Maffesolian studies are in principles of Western societies. But is it possible that the theories of this French sociologist also apply to African societies today? More precisely speaking, has Africa already completely lived through its phase of historical modernity to enter today into a new postmodern era? Can we compare the Maffesolian postmodern period with the postcolonial era of Ivorian society? Has the Ivorian Individual, in turn, been able to form his social identity by tasting the pleasures of being together Maffesolian or does he still prefer his personal interests sometimes even to the detriment of social values? If there is really an anomaly in this process of socialization of the Ivorian individual, what are the origins and what are the remedies? These are the answers to these questions that we will seek in this article through a socio-critical analysis of the novels of Ahmadou Kourouma. The characters of these novels, influenced by the socio-political consequences of colonialism, reveal to us the different social aspects of the African Individual. This article will therefore go in search of the characteristics and causes of this Ivorian Individualism.
