Abstract:
Directly concerned by the situation of the in-between, Leïla Sebbar and Nina Bouraoui, two French-speaking writers, anchored their imaginations in their two countries. Indeed, their intercultural peculiarities have constantly imposed on their lives and their literary careers. All their works are thus rooted into two spaces: the fatherland (Algeria) and the motherland (France). These two writings offer an almost complete panorama of problematics related to the situations of the in-between: exile, identity dislocation, discrimination, homelessness and marginality. Without being truly identical, their fictions share many convergences while keeping certain thematic, discursive and rhetorical peculiarities melted down in the literalness of each of these two writings, which are real calls towards the respect of the Other and the
difference where the personal and the collective, the lyrics and politics mingle and intersect
