Violence du Discours dans le Roman Algérien : L’exemple de Rue de Darwin de Boualem Sansal

Abstract

Discourse Violence in the Algerian Novel: The case of Boulame Sensal’s ‘Darwin Street’

Due to its status as a universal theme, violence is subject to thematic variations that evolve its nature. In his intention, this fictitious novel inspired by the life of the author Boualem Sansal, as well as the history of his country, Algeria, is an original way of combining the amalgam of the maghreb which is a French-speaking. This controversial novel has distinguished itself by its content relating to themes that are out of synchronization with the habits of Algerian literature, alluding to a violence that appears as such in a double dimension. On one hand, it concerns the taboo subjects covered in the work and on the other hand, it finds its meaning in the strategies of writing used by the author. Otherwise, it is through an objective study of the theme of violence in the novel of Sansal “Rue Darwin”, that we want to conduct our thesis. In other words, it is a question of answering the central question: how does violence appear in the novel "Rue Darwin"?
