Summary/Abstract: By this study, we conducted a reflection on an aspect of literary resistance. To resist denial towards “The Arab” killed in Camus’s novel “The Stranger”, the Algerian journalist and writer Kamel Daoud writes a chronic. Against Meursault or the “Arab” double shot, and a novel: The Meursault investigation. We examined the transaction from chronic to novel and found that the resistance discourse unfolds on a very complex dialogic space. Indeed, there is a generic dialogue between the chronic and the novel, and self-dialogue between the journalist’s work and that of the writer. This dialogism allows a clear view of the act of resistance.
