Abstract
A pragmaticist alternative to the radical basis of identity using debates on African cinema is the objective of this article. Post-Freudian psychoanalytical film theory is thus debated from the perspective of a Peirceian pragmatism. Essentialism is critiqued. Position of the scholar is examined in terms of cultural proscriptions.
