La représentation intermédiale du déplacement dans Vers d’autres rives et L’Exil vaut le voyage de Dany Laferrière
The Intermedial Representation of Movement in Dany Laferrière’s Vers d’autres rives and L’Exil vaut le voyage

Summary/Abstract: Since his literary debut, the Haitian-Quebecois Immortal Dany Laferrière has universalized the experience of exile through the hybridization of genres and the use of transcultural, extraterritorial references that extend his reflection beyond Haiti and Quebec to embrace the whole world. This article examines the impact of intermediality in his graphic novels Vers d’autres rives (2019) and L’Exil vaut le voyage (2020), focusing on the interplay between text and image and highlighting the intertextuality with other works by Laferrière. Drawing on an analysis of visual and textual narration, the article highlights how the writer transcends the boundaries between text and image. The aim is to show how this latest direction taken by Laferrière, in which literature and the visual arts converge, adds a new dimension to his already complex work, deeply rooted in cultural and artistic diversity.
