Summary/Abstract: This paper delves into the theme of otherness in Mohammed Dib's L'arbre à dires, characterizing the work as a complex and multifaceted novel-essay. The goal is to shed light on the unique way Dib poetically and philosophically (in an ontological sense) engages with a concept traditionally associated with philosophical discourse. To enhance the analysis of alterity in Dib's narrative, we utilize psychoanalyst Daniel Sibony's notion of the in-between. This approach allows us to explore how Dib addresses the ideas of identity, foreignness, and origin in his writing.
