The Limits Of Writing In Marie Cardinal's Amour... Amours..., Claire Marrone Jul 2002

The Limits Of Writing In Marie Cardinal's Amour... Amours..., Claire Marrone

Languages Faculty Publications

Amour... amours... enters into a body of literature in French, particularly in the postcolonial period, that deals with the bilingual and bicultural aspects of selfhood. In focusing on the France-Algeria connection, the text illustrates the challenges of negotiating between conflicting allegiances. Salient issues in self-definition emerge, including the significance of one's birthplace and the loss of one's homeland. What is interesting in Amour... amours... is the way in which Cardinal conjures up remembrances of Algeria, including stylistic experimentation, intertextual echoes, and the thematization of love evoked in the title. With her protagonist, Lola Lavoie, the author evokes both la …

Déchirement Ou Délivrance : Écriture Autobiographique Dans Les Saisons De Passage D'Andrée Chedid, Le Bonheur À La Queue Glissante D'Abla Farhoud Et La Prisonnière De Malika Oufkir Et Michèle Fitoussi, Samira Fahroud

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Three women narrate their lives in French, the colonist's language, instead of in Arabic, their mother tongue. They pay homage to their families in order to rid themselves of guilty and revengeful feelings. In Les saisons de passage and Le bonheur a la queue glissante, Andree Chedid and Abla Farhoud express their love for an absent mother, who represents both the rebellious and submissive arabic woman. In La prisonniere, Malika Oufkir denounces the king's injustice for having condemned Oufkir's family for life and General Oufkir to death because he attempted a military putch against Hassan II. These three stories …

Itinéraires Spatio-Temporels: Exil, Nomadisme, Diaspora Chez Nancy Hudson, Régine Robin Et Émile Ollivier, Joëlle Vitello Jan 2002

Itinéraires Spatio-Temporels: Exil, Nomadisme, Diaspora Chez Nancy Hudson, Régine Robin Et Émile Ollivier, Joëlle Vitello

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

In this essay, I explore various dimensions of theoretical terms such as exile, nomadism, diaspora, and border. These terms have a temporal and spatial dimension. They are not equivalent to each other and they generate different kinds of identity narratives. In fact, in their strict definitions, as John Durham Peters demonstrates, they oppose each other. Yet, in contemporary texts, fiction and non- fiction, regardless of the individual experiences portrayed, they are also often intertwined. It is the complex mobility of the terms that define the fields of research associated with migration, literary or not, that I render apparent in the …


La Poésie Comme Terre D'Asile Dans L'Œuvre De Tahar Bekri, Sonia Lee Jan 2002

La Poésie Comme Terre D'Asile Dans L'Œuvre De Tahar Bekri, Sonia Lee

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

In this essay, I propose to examine how in Tahar Bekri's poetry, the theme of exile is gradually negated through the poetic universe of the poet, thus acting as a replacement for the loss of the motherland.


Paul (Smaïl) Et Le Loup: De La Carna Comme Un Des Beaux-Arts, Mireille Rosello Jan 2002

Paul (Smaïl) Et Le Loup: De La Carna Comme Un Des Beaux-Arts, Mireille Rosello

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Since the publication of Vivre me tue in 1997, Paul Smaïl's published statements about the necessity for a "Beur" writer to protect his dignity and his freedom behind a pseudonym have generated a significant layer of metafiction which this essay proposes to examine. An analysis of Smaïl's different types of narrative accounts will help us elucidate the cultural and literary effects produced by the writer's strategy.


Re-Bonjour À La Négritude: La Question De La «Race» Dans Un Roman Des Années 90, L'Impasse De Daniel Biyaoula, Lydie Moudileno Jan 2002

Re-Bonjour À La Négritude: La Question De La «Race» Dans Un Roman Des Années 90, L'Impasse De Daniel Biyaoula, Lydie Moudileno

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

While it had somewhat disappeared as a central preoccupation in recent African fiction, the issue of "race" comes up in a striking way in Daniel Biyaoula's first novel, L 'impasse. Published in 1996, L'impasse sets out to expose through the eye of a rather cynical first-person narrator the neurotic nature of postcolonial subjects' relation to his/her racialized origin. Focusing on the body as a site of authenticity or alienation, the novel can be read as a contemporary and creative version of the "Black experience" as Franz Fanon theorized it almost half a century before in Black Skin White Masks. This …

Traversée De L'Angoisse Et Poétique De L'Espoir Chez Malika Mokeddem, Margot Miller Jan 2002

Traversée De L'Angoisse Et Poétique De L'Espoir Chez Malika Mokeddem, Margot Miller

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Psychological detachment is often presented as an exile from which there is no return. The works of Malika Mokeddem illustrate the lack of social support for psychic space of the individual who passes through anxiety and ends in psychological detachment. This article proposes to show, in L 'interdite and N'zid, how Mokeddem affirms nevertheless hope for recovery from this state. It also demonstrates the link between hope and mobility of the body, as well as of words, which must cross the spaces of anxiety in order to find community and the "inestimable freedom" (L'interdite, p. 132) that support and permit …


Voies Et Champs Du Feu Dans L'Œuvre Romanesque De Farjallah Haïk, Georges Khoriaty Jan 2002

Voies Et Champs Du Feu Dans L'Œuvre Romanesque De Farjallah Haïk, Georges Khoriaty

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

In the fiction of Farjallah Hark, fire and heat constitute distinguished means of expression in various fields. In his conception of fire, there is an intermingling between what is natural and what is social; good and evil are both employed, and a group of complexes are formed, such as the Promethee complex, the Empedocle complex, or the Novalis complex. Fire, in the view of Ha'ik, has several forms: sexual fire which moves the body instinct; cathartic or purgatorial fire which allows the sublimation of inclinations, and the rebellious fire which destroys all that is fixed in man, and the fire …

L'Enfance Échouée Comme Source De Drame Dans En Attendant Le Vote Des Bêtes Sauvages, Kasongo Mulenda Kapanga Jan 2002

L'Enfance Échouée Comme Source De Drame Dans En Attendant Le Vote Des Bêtes Sauvages, Kasongo Mulenda Kapanga

Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications

En attendant le vote des betes sauvages peut être lu com me une analyse discursive de la problématique de l'identité de la classe dirigeante. Qui sont réellement les dirigeants africains dont la mauvaise gouvernance a poussé le continent au bord de la banqueroute? Tout remonterait à l'enfance qui, dans le cas de cette élite, a été paralysante. L'analyse met en lumière une enfance bâclée gelée dans une idéologie de servitude.


On The ‘‘Misogyny’’ Of Jean-Jacques Rousseau: The Letter To D’Alembert In Historical Context, Helena Rosenblatt Jan 2002

On The ‘‘Misogyny’’ Of Jean-Jacques Rousseau: The Letter To D’Alembert In Historical Context, Helena Rosenblatt

Publications and Research

Evidence suggests that the feminist consensus on Jean-Jacques Rousseau “misogyny” is breaking down.New studies are emerging that bring to light the many sympathetic portrayals of women in Rousseau’s works and the important role he ascribed to women within the family. Some modern feminists are even finding ways of reading Rousseau that speak to women’s concerns today. Overturning the notion that Rousseau was an arch-misogynist will be an uphill battle, however, given how very widespread it has become. Moreover, before we can arrive at a coherent and convincing appraisal of Rousseau’s views on women, a curious paradox needs to be addressed: …
