Littérature et liberté : stratégies narratives et enjeux mémoriels dans l’œuvre de Boualem Sansal
Literature and Freedom: Narrative Strategies and Memorial Stakes in the Work of Boualem Sansal

Summary/Abstract: Boualem Sansal ’ s work stands out for its deep and multifaceted exploration of freedom, understood not as an acquired state but as a relentless quest in the face of contemporary totalitarianisms. Through genre hybridization, fierce satire, and an examination of the role of language in processes of alienation, Sansal deconstructs the mechanisms of power. His characters embody an intellectual revolt and a search for truth, particularly when confronting traumatic pasts and manipulated memories. The paradoxical use of French, the language of the former colonizer, becomes a powerful vehicle for emancipation and identity reappropriation, allowing the author to break taboos and assert a narrative and critical sovereignty essential for individual and collective freedom.
