De l’écriture de la banlieue à l’émergence de la littérature : le cas de Boumkœur de Rachid Djaïdadi
From the Writing of the Suburbs to the Emergence of Literature: the Case of „Boumkœur“ by Rachid Djaïdadi

Summary/Abstract: The particular constraints of young Arab „beur“-literature, often seen as the expression of a willingness to bear witness to marginality and social exclusion, seem to exclude this literature from research of an aesthetic nature. The work on the language of a novel such as „Boumkœur“ by Rachid Djaïdani (1999), however, contravenes this stereotypical view of the Arab literature, revealing Djaïdani as a particularly interesting writer in search of literary legitimacy.
