The novel adaptation "Atar Gull" by Fabien Nury and Brüno addresses the resistance of the Black individual who has been radically othered within colonialism, using the allegory of the slave Atar Gull from Benin. Othering succeeds only by integrating the subjugated Africans into an image of Africa that is completely indifferent to their reality. Within the system of commodification and disenfranchisement of the Other, the subjugated and stigmatized colonized individual is left only with the dream of revenge against their rulers. "Atar Gull" illustrates how this evolves into an interaction between colonizers and the colonized that only works because both parties seem to accept the basis of this interaction: the system of oppressing the Other in colonialism. However, the fallacy of colonialism lies in trusting its own image of the Other, while the colonized engage in a hybrid communication that mimetically adheres to the existing order, only to ultimately overthrow it. Yet, they must realize, as Atar Gull does in the end, that along the way, this revenge has already been devalued.
