THE AESTHETICS OF IMPURITY IN DITES-MOI LE SONGE OF ABDELFATTAH KILITO

Abstract

Moroccan thinker and writer Abdelfattah Kilito produces a confused and diffuse work. His varied
work deals with questions relating to the dialogue of texts, cultures and languages. Thus, this considerable
work is situated on the generic frontier because its writing is transgeneric. In this perspective, we have opted
for the word impurity to emphasize the bursting of genres through the work of Kilito. To tell the truth,
impurity is a postmodern aesthetic that was born in a tragic context. As a result, he deconstructs the canons
of classical writing to ask serious questions in light of the practices of laughter and playfulness. In this sense,
Tell me the dream of Kilito is a work worked mainly by the bursting of genres both internally and externally.
This text published in the essay collection can also be read as a narrative essay. Indeed, the playful, ironic
and uncertain atmosphere reinforces the impurity of the text. In fact, the impurity also favors the meeting of
the other, because the textual encounter implies that of the beings. Thus, Kilito opens his text and brings it
to meet various literary sensibilities. Our reflection is articulated around the aesthetics of impurity in Tell
me the dream. We will analyze the concept of impurity to try, moreover, to study it concretely in the work of
Kilito. It is a matter of submitting Tell me the dream of the aesthetics of impurity in order to reveal the
amply plural characteristics of this work.
