La primera autoficción queer de «l’extrême contemporain»: Le voile mis à nu de Badia Hadj Nasser

Abstract

We analyze, from the Queer Theory paradigm, the first autofictional novel on account gender dissidence, peripheral sexu-alities and deconstruction of identity stig-matized written by a «l'extrême contem-porain» Muslim novelist woman. We focus on three aspects of originality included in the novel –the theme, the compositional mode and speech– in order to show that it is worthy of being considered a queer work, by its transgressive nature and commitment to social criticism of his time.
