En Enfances tunisiennes : du récit autobiographique à l'écriture d'enfance: Infancias en Túnez: del relato autobiográfico a la escritura de infancia

Abstract

Throughout the 20th century, the French conquest on the Tunisian territory contributes relentlessly to the development of the Tunisian literature in the French language.  A genre of literature that may suggest the desilusion of the human being undergoing a declining and non assimilated civilization. He must find his own proclamation to achieve his own personal discovery. A set of perceptions and sensations that reflects the writer’s personal and individual development. A kind of vision that introduces consequently this chilhood literature towards the notions of autobiography and autofiction. A concept that appears mainly en Enfances Tunisiennes, a tales’ anthology which shows us the elements of Philippe Lejeune’s autobiography and Serge Doubrovsky’s autofiction.  This work lets us wander within a space where the remains of a remoted past introduce the present time where the physical reality can border and lead us into imaginary. An indisociable link between autobiography and autofiction.
