Author Description

"This issue may surprise, both by the way in which the corpus serving as a basis for the studies presented is stated there - literatures of Tunisia and not Tunisian literature - and by the very plural of these "presences", a plural whose objective is to increase the intensity of this presence of the Other in the interstices and shadowy areas of "national" literature, or presented as such. Because it is not only out of concern for conformity to the field invested by the collection that such a choice was made, but also and perhaps above all out of nonconformism, with the desire to assert the importance of the measurement of the Other and the tropism towards this Other in the making of the storytelling of these French-language productions. Certainly, such an approach to estimating the part played by otherness in the development of poetics born in Tunisia (after the 1980s) should allow - notably through the observation of the types of texts committed, the trajectories of the writers and the stylistics implemented - to identify with greater precision the models of intercultural inclusiveness that characterize the productions conceived on the shores of this land of ethnic, cultural and linguistic convergences." -- https://www.lettresmodernesminard.org/francophonies.html (accessed, 3/4/2025).
