L’ALTERITE ET LES METAMORPHOSES DU COUPLE EN DERIVE DANS LA RIVE EST LOIN DE YING CHEN
THE OTHERNESS AND METAMORPHOSES OF THE COUPLE DRIFTING IN THE SHORE IS FAR AWAY BY YING CHEN

Summary/Abstract: In all her novels, Ying Chen tackles the entire array of themes, those characteristic of the migrant literature: the exile, the identity, the search of the self, the torture of being uprooted and that of striking root. The permanent search of self brings forth an acceptance of the consequences of the heroes' inner exile on the one hand or a creation of a new migrant identity, on the other. We are going to equally show the way in which Ying Chen put an emphasis on the moral values, the family values and the cultural ones, but also the way in which she has contributed to the enrichment of a new kind of literature, which has at its core the migrant subject. We will not leave aside the unique beauty of her temperate style, her musical writing and the feeling of intimacy that she brings forth.
