L'Intertexte islamique de 'L'Enfant de sable' et 'La Nuit sacree' de Tahar Ben Jelloun

Article Abstract:

The novels 'L'Enfant de sable' and 'La Nuit sacree' by Tahar Ben Jelloun include allusions to Sufi poetry that suggest a relationship to Islamic mystical literature. The use of profane love as an allegory for mystical union is a common theme in Islamic mysticism that also appears in Ben Jelloun's work. The author expresses an ambivalence concerning the political and mystical aspects of Islam. Article text is in French.

Isaac dans un imaginaire feminin: 'Les Images' de Louise Bouchard

Article Abstract:

The French-Canadian novel 'Les Images' by Louise Bouchard draws on the biblical story of Isaac, but a female narrator takes the role of Isaac. This sexual difference changes the tragic meaning of the act of faith and obedience in the story. The notion of sacrifice becomes more direct and dangerous. Article text is in French.
