Memory of places, Memory of the in-between, for a poetics of Relationship

Abstract

Nina Bouraoui's writing is characterized by an indeterminacy and instability that is manifested on the generic, identity and sexual levels. The writer refuses to be in a univocal and definitive way and she chooses to build an imaginary from the place of the in-between, that means the space of meeting and disjunction at the same time. Nina Bouraoui offers a fine example of a tormented writing, an exploded syntax, a memory explored without limits and without scruples. The purpose of this study is to understand and analyze Nina Bouraoui's mechanisms of production of meaning from the notion of in-between.
