Figure de l'écrivain chez Sami Tchak. Déterminisrne, fantasme et mythe

Authors

Vincent Simédoh, Dalhousie University

Abstract

This article examines how the figure of the writer manifests himself in the postcolonial novel and the issues associated with all determinisms. Does a representation of oneself in a fictional space give one the possibility of being other than that which one is or is destined to be? Clearly a literary question, in the sense that it makes possibilities exist that are yet unavailable, it comes with few answers. It calls for further investigation to highlight the novelist's consciousness of the present, the writer's image that manifests itself in the novel in various forms by means of fantasies, the creation of a myth of oneself on display, as the stories unfold.
