Maghrebian writers of the "francophonie"
This paper was presented during a seminar on literature in Romance languages held by the Department of Romance Languages and Classics of Stockholm University the 14th of October 2022.
Pourquoi parler des écrivains maghrébins de la francophonie et non plus des écrivains maghrébins d'expression française comme ce fut le cas de la génération des écrivains maghrébins des années 1960? Comment apprécier cette douleur diglossique en analysant le discours des et sur les écrivains maghrébins francophones. La notion de francophonie n'est pas neutre et quel que soit l'angle envisagé, la relation à la langue française demeure toujours problématique dans ses implications littéraires et politiques. Le travail se fonde sur le livre Pour une généalogie critique de la Francophonie disponible sur https://www.stockholmuniversitypress.se/site/books/m/10.16993/bau/ avec comme objectif de dresser un panorama de cette littérature et de ses classements.
Why dealing with Maghrebian writers of the francophonie and no longer about French-speaking Maghreb writers as it was the case with the generation of Maghrebian writers in the 1960s? How to appreciate this diglossic pain by analyzing the discourse of and on French-speaking Maghreb writers? The notion of francophonie is not neutral and whatever the angle considered, the relationship to the French language always remains problematic in its literary and political implications. The work is based on the publication of Pour une généalogie critique de la Francophonie available on https://www.stockholmuniversitypress.se/site/books/m/10.16993/bau/ with the aim of giving an overview of this literature and its classifications.
