REMEMORER UN PASSE OUBLIE PAR LE JEU DE L’ECRITURE DANS LE ROMAN DE SYLVIE GERMAIN INTITULE MAGNUS
THE REMINDING OF THE FORGOTTEN PAST WITH A GAME OF WRITING IN SYLVIE GERMAIN’S MAGNUS

Summary/Abstract: It can be observed that Sylvie Germain who is a contemporary writer has an imaginative mind full of personal experiences and data collected from her personal readings. In this respect, she values the act of writing to get rid of psychological troubles and to exhibit the question of “evil” which exists within whole of the universe. Like a philosopher, she constantly questions the destructive behaviours of the individual towards humanity and universe. In her novels, the historical facts are revealed by applying intertextuality both implicitly and explicitly. This method not only presents her poetic manner and artistic creativity but also has a significant role in the revival of historical memory which tends to be forgotten. Germain’s narration is composed of different voices like the harmony of the instruments in a symphony orchestra, and thus, the necessity of a multidimensional reading emerges to transmit the author’s message instead of a monotonous reading. Therefore, the reader is expected to be attentive, enthusiastic, and patient to get involved in the riddle game within the narration. In this sense, Sylvie Germain’s Magnus deviates from her other novels in terms of its narrative technique in the process of completing the lost pieces of the complete memory. This study intends to analyse the role of fiction and narration in reminding of the important historical incidents by including references of multiple areas which enrich Germain’s adventure of writing.
