Infratextualité dans l’œuvre romanesque de Jamel Ali-Khodja.

Abstract

The present research carried out as a doctoral thesis entitled « Infratextuality in Jamel Ali-Khodja's novelistic work » is a deep analysis of the novelistic work of this writer who takes as a starting point the construction of his novels with two relevant elements. Constant basic elements, which recur in the two novels and which we have called infratextual and variable elements which are built on the first and which are made up of fiction, intertext and referential socio-historical variants. Our analysis based on infratextuality, intertextuality, sociocriticism and narratology allowed us to detect the constants and variants of all of Ali-Khodja's novelistic work which takes Constantine as infrastructure and reference (even Algeria) of the first decades of independence remedied through typical and semiotic characters who draw their basic essence from the daily life of Algerian society. Characters who exert the same truthful, romantic and hypnotic infratextual effects in the two novels.
