La poésie en fusion : quand les arts se rencontrent dans Des moineaux dans la tête de Mohammed El Amraoui
Poetry in fusion: when the arts meet in Des moineaux dans la tête by Mohammed El Amraoui

Summary/Abstract: This article addresses the question of innovation in modern Moroccan poetry. It deals with the dialogue between literature and other art forms (poetry, the novel, painting, music, and translation). The mystery of poetic writing manifests itself in the text produced, whose aesthetic and thematic specificities depart from those of traditional poetry, and whose aim is to establish a new bond between the poet and his readers. The choice of accompanying the poem with a translation encourages appreciation of this type of writing, even in a foreign language and culture. The question is why this poetry is unique and innovative. Does its translation reflect this uniqueness? To answer these questions, the aesthetic and thematic characteristics of Moroccan poetry need to be examined, in particular the collection Des moineaux dans la tête by Mohammed El Amraoui. The discovery of the specificities of this poetic writing is carried out via the interartial approach developed by Walter Moser. This approach highlights the various relationships between literature and the other arts while specifying the limits within which translation can ensure an adequate transfer of the Amraouian aesthetic project into French. Our objective is to provide a clear picture of the evolution of Moroccan poetry.
