Abstract:
This research aims to examine the issue of the relationship between the work and
the life through four novels of Nina Bouraoui. This corpus, inscribing the FrancoAlgerian historical tensions, reflects a writing with an autobiographical tendency where the female identity and its affiliations are indefinitely questioned. Throughout her literary career, the author appeared on the media scene, but also hid under modes of writing not allowing rigorous distinction between fiction and reality. Indeed, the emphasis is further placed on the expression of imagination, the creative capacity of the language and their effects. Through the addressed themes and the invoked images, but also through the deployed generic forms, can be read both a resistance and a desire of exposure of the writer, of the author and of the woman who writes by reclaiming an “I” that is a subject of her narration. This has a considerable reach on the reception of her work insofar as she postulates, as we show, her reader and/or her female reader, both in a real and virtual sense, whether it is in the diversity of viewpoints or in the opposing perspectives of human experiences.
