Le sujet postcolonial est-il soluble dans l’eau? Le motif aquatique dans À l’ombre des gouttes de Saber Assal
Journal Title: Lublin Studies in Modern Languages and Literature - Year 2018, Vol 42, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper aims to analyse the forms and functions of the aquatic motif in Saber Assal’s autofictional novel À l’ombre des gouttes. It is a recurring motif that structures the story in various ways: by its regular reappearance (including in the incipit and at the end of the novel), its functionality in the representation of the psychic life of the hero, its symbolic dimension and its emblematic nature for the postcolonial character.
