L'écriture de l'entre-deux dans Passages d'Émile Ollivier

Abstract

The novel Passages by Émile Ollivier is representative of the migrant writings that build up a true poetics of wandering. This one is quite different from former exile literary representations and characterizes by questioning migration as far as writing is concerned. It reveals itself through a creolized language, magic realism peculiar to Latin American baroque and by building up a postcolonial framework caused by colonial turmoil and then globalization. So, the novel involves interstitial immigration spaces and implies new writing modes that reveal an ever changing world.
