Main Article Content
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Contemporary literature has shown particular interest in the symbolism of being, object and clothing. It is built on symbols linked to culture to justify a form of ideology in search of a status and a political, cultural, social identity, etc. This is why the representation of the body and especially of women in contemporary North African novels of French expression are part of a thematic axis which converges towards this Ideology of the quest for Self and identity. Among the different literary genres, women writing has always been a quest for identity and a perpetual search for origins. In this article, it will be a question of seeing how women clothing becomes an indicator of identity and social representations through selected texts taken from female North African novels.
RÉSUMÉ : La littérature contemporaine a porté un intérêt particulier pour la symbolique de l’être, de l’objet et du vêtement. Elle s’est bâtie sur des symboles liés à la culture pour justifier une forme d’idéologie en quête d’un statut et d’une identité, politique, culturelle, sociale, etc. C’est pourquoi, la représentation du corps et surtout de la femme dans les romans maghrébins contemporains d’expression française font partie d’un axe thématique qui converge vers cette Idéologie de la quête de Soi et de l’identité. Parmi les différents genres littéraires, l’écriture féminine a de tout temps été une quête de l’identité et une perpétuelle recherche d’origines. Il s’agira dans cet article, de voir comment le vêtement féminin devient un indicateur de représentations identitaires et sociales à travers des textes choisis pris de romans Maghrébins féminins.
