Abstract
ABSTRACT This article attempts to read Hélène Cixous’ “fiction,” So Close, and Jacques Derrida's essay, Monolingualism of the Other, not as representative of Franco-Maghrebi literature, nor of “Judeo-Maghrebi” literature, but as two extremely rich reflections on issues that pervade these literary and social domains, such as nostalgia, exile, memory, family and personal origins, mother tongue, colonized language, mourning, and the “politics of memory.”
