Écriture de soi et métadiscours dans autoportrait avec Grenade de Salim Bachi

Abstract EN

Salim BACHI, in « Self-Portrait with Granada », Tents self-writing through the travel narrative.

This text is to be considered as a space of interweaving where become confused ; confessions, memories, hallucinations and fiction.

The author restores his past between reality and fiction : he implements a particular enunciatively device that contributes to disconcerting writing, introduces phases of delirium and dream in order to reconstitute his reminiscences, tells the genesis of this text by inviting the reader to observe it writing.

The writer departs from the classical autobiographical genre ; he multiplies the original textual and narrative processes that ensure a transition from the superficial-self to the deep-self and elaborates the narrative where the quest is less related to personal identity than to its literary identity.

In this article, we propose to see how BACHI makes, the setting in self-novel, the space of questioning about his writer’s reality and his novelistic writing.
