Fabulations ou imaginaires vacillants : l’écriture de Rakotoson et Raharimanana entre histoire, mémoire et urgence du social

Authors

Ute Fendler

Abstract

The two writers from Madagascar, Michèle Rakotoson and Jean-Luc Raharimanana, fill empty memorial spaces by writing texts that vary from autobiographical mode, via the historical one, up to some elements of oral tradition with the objective to create anticipatory texts. The article analyzes the entanglement of references to reality and to fiction drawing on the notion of “fabulation” by Deleuze and of “half-knowledge” by Flahaut.
