Le chemin vers soi-même ou Le Scribe et son ombre.À propos de l’écriture aventurée d’Abdelkébir Khatibi

Abstract

In response to the colonial culture and the postcolonial regime, the Francophone literature of the Maghreb has revolved mainly around the question of identity where « the self » is necessarily to be rethought in relation to the « other ». Within such a perspective, Abdelkébir Khatibi, as a thinker and writer, seems to be the central figure whose work under study questions deeply the problematic of otherness through the themes of origin, the status of stranger, bi-language, « I am another », applied to culture, especially in his latest book the Scribe and his shadow. The intercultural dimension runs through the author’s literary artefact, making of the literary sphere a space for the advent of the « intersign », which promotes the emergence of a polyphonic and hybrid literary territoriality that aims to reach the universal.
