Nomadisme et création littéraire : une approche de la migritude dans la phalène des collines, les racines du yucca de Koulsy Lamko et dans poisson d’or, l’africain de J.-M.G. Le Clézio.

Abstract

The present work takes as its starting point the theme of nomadism and literary creation: an approach to migritude in La Phalène des collines, Les Racines du yucca by Koulsy Lamko and Poisson d'or, L'africain by J.-M. G. Le Clézio, and examines how nomadism shapes writing and identities among migrant or nomadic writers through migritude as a poetic. The aim is to analyze the interaction between nomadism and literary creativity, the assets of migrant writing among nomadic writers, in this case Lamko and Le Clézio, and to see how nomadism influences their writing and leads them to deconstruct border clichés. This research project is based on the observation that nomadism is a genuine source of literary creation for nomadic writers. These situations of transhumance and instability generate a particular literature that has come to be known as migritude literature. Paradoxical to the imaginaries advocated by the precursors of this literature, and despite the humanism advocated by the Enlightenment in the 20th century, the problem posed by our theme of study is that border stereotypes continue to subvert and set in motion the postmodern world. Consequently, researchers are preoccupied with the question of how to deconstruct imaginary imaginary worlds. In their texts, migritude writers share diverse ideas on the question of relationships between people around the world. They reveal a crisis of identity and culture that challenges humanism. Le Clézio and Lamko are part of this emerging "migritude" literature. A geopoetic analysis of their texts shows how the discourse of the in-between is constructed and how new identities are woven, eroding the original identity to build hybridity. This hybridity is not only perceptible in the crisis of values, but also observable in writing, lexicon and the representation of space and time. In their texts, these authors deconstruct literary boundaries and postulate a literature-world. They invite us to rethink identity in diversity. The portrayal of nomadic characters confronted with the difficulties of social integration and cultural melting pot by the authors in our corpus is a call for alter-globalism. They advocate respect for others beyond our geographic borders, and unity in diversity. Rethinking the imaginary of the other, otherness and the Same is an imperative for an alterglobalist world in Le Clézio and Lamko.
