Le Silence Dans L’œuvre Littéraire Ou Le Degré Zéro Du Mensonge Le Cas De L’honneur De La Tribu De Rachid Mimouni

Abstract

The reading of "the honor of the tribe" by Rachid Mimouni reveals that the history of the tribe that the old storyteller proposes to retrace is largely based on a literary lie, since it is a tale. The narrative, in fact, draws its narrative material from the fable. It is therefore a fabulous story, like a tale, to describe the saga of tribal memory, of which the old storyteller is a part. Enter the list of all the ingredients of the literary lie: the mythomania of the narrator, the hyperbole as a descriptive mode of the characters "the phenomenal sex of Omar el Mabrouk" is the eloquent example, the past as an instance of remembrance almost cut off from the present and peculiar to the foundation of myth or fable, and the religious paradigm which attempts to circumscribe the text into an already dogmatic one, whose lying side lies in the impenetrability of his ways.
