Post-migratory literature or the "middle" of identity as a perspective opening

Abstract

The authors of the Maghrebian immigrant population in France often raise complex questions as to their cultural identity and
identity. Generally born after or during the last years of the French colonial empire, the members of this population live in
the heart of the Hexagon and are, nevertheless, systematically - or almost - defined by their past colonized subject. It is not
surprising, therefore, that their writings address several problems related to their image and their fuzzy identity.
For a better visibility of the strategies of identity positioning advocated by post-migratory writers, this contribution will try to
follow the path of their literature since its inception. It will be divided into two main parts: The first will be related to the 80/90
years when the authors, by advocating the "gap" as an attempt to renounce one culture and the other, try to escape a situation of
extreme constraint. The second will be reserved for writers, who are more up-to-date, who try to be part of a strategy of identity
"hybridization", thus linking themselves to banning any existing boundary between alterities (dominant / dominated, man /
woman) in a logic of a new and creative "in-between" and aspiring to espouse the postmodern ideology. A number of novels belonging to the two temporal sections will be convened in this study. The corpus will be varied enough to Sabrina FATMI Revue Socles 190 have an overview of the evolution of the reflection on interstitial identities in this literature.
