AUTOFICTION ET DOUBLE CULTURE CHEZ NINA BOURAOUI
AUTOFICTION AND DOUBLE CULTURE AT NINA BOURAOUI

Summary/Abstract: Nina Bouraoui (born 1967) relates in his works a childhood torn between two countries, two cultures, and a mixed marriage (French mother and Algerian father). It presents the France and Algeria’s childhood as the source of his writing and was torn between two conflicting cultures, Eastern culture and Western culture. This double culture makes me problematic and engaged bouraouienne writing in an anguished quest for the past that involves imagination and is based on a set of associations of images and language giving the work the form of a fiction. Facing a decomposed Me, Nina Bouraoui proceeded to an unveiling of its intimacy where experience blends with fantasies creating art from his fears and built a world hidden, open to all those who dare to look it up. Is this world a reflection of his imagination? How literature can be a space where the intimate, the body, the raw sensations denuded and violent are revealed?
