“Il macabro in Maghreb tra ricerca estetica e impegno politico"
Zoppellari, Anna
2009
Abstract
The macabre as motif in Maghreb literature is analysed in the works by Kateb Yacine, Mohammed Did, Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine e Abdelkébir Khatibi. The article starts from European and Arab sources and foregrounds the existence of a dual cultural background at the root of contemporary Maghreb literature. A common feature in the representation of death is its function as a restorative feature of collective consciousness, through the best aesthetic claims of literary modernity.
