Exile And Memory Dominance In Malika Mokeddem’s Writings -my Men, Forbidden, Rebellious Novels As A Model

Authors : Messas Djemaa .

Abstract

Exile in its reference formed an obsession that disturbs man’s sleeping, surrounds him and disturbs his existence and his resignation to his reality. It carries with it a form of permanent exclusion and rejection that continues to haunt the exiled and stalk him in his dissolution and his travels. It generates a phobia of fear, anxiety, confusion and the inability to reconcile neither with oneself nor with the past. This article entitled " Exile and Memory Dominance in Malika Mokeddem’s Writings" attempts to extrapolate the pain of exile and wounds of memory in the writings of Malika Mokeddem and by answering a fundamental question: How was Malika Mokeddem able to transmit the pain of the exiled and express the wounds of memory dominance in her narrative writings?
