écriture De La Mémoire Entre Imaginaire Et Représentations De La Méditerranée Dans Le Texte Maghrébin D’expression Francophone : Cas De Tahar Djaout Et Jean Sénac

Abstract

It is undeniable that the Maghrebian literature of French expression is part of a particular socio-historical and cultural context that conditioned its emergence under colonial occupation. As a result, it emerged from the outset as the words of Aboriginal writers in the face of the ideological discourse conveyed by colonial literature. It is enough to read the literary work of Tahar Djaout to recognize that the discourse, as such, maintains a fundamental relationship with Memory, whose implications, manifestations and representations can be verified both on the thematic level and on the formal level. This contribution will therefore propose to study the support of collective memory by the Djaoutian text. We will try to see how, for Djaout, writing would prove to be a literary representation revealing the interest in the reconstruction of memory while juxtaposing the obscurantism of postcolonial trauma with solar representations of the Mediterranean. We will thus set out to demonstrate how Djaout, through specific scriptural strategies, strongly nourished by images of the Mediterranean, like Jean Sénac, tries to reconstruct the history of colonial trauma.
