Imbrication du vécu et du fictionnel dans Cette aveuglante absence de lumière de Tahar Ben Jelloun et Tazmamort d’Aziz BineBine

Abstract EN

Numerous texts emerged with the voices of survivors' testimony to unveil a horrific Moroccan prison that was built after the first failed coup in Skhirat against King Hassan II of Morocco on July 10, 1971.

Among these texts, the novel "That brilliant darkness" (2001) by Taher Ben Jelloun, inspired by the true testimony of former Tazmamart prison inmate: Aziz BineBine, who in 2009 wanted to turn the page, recalled his past and published Tazmamort.

These two texts are part of "prison literature" because of the need to testify and not to forget inhuman grievances.

They are part of the "prison literature" and " testimony literature" where the interaction between the testimony and imagination and the intertwined between them is our subject. To do this, the mechanisms for narrative, building and transferring memory, and writing strategies aimed to build a real meaning for the testimony of the authors of the two texts were highlighted.
