ENJEUX MÉMORIELS DANS LE RÉCIT CARCÉRAL MAROCAIN
MEMORIAL STAKES IN THE MOROCCAN CARCERAL NARRATIVES

Summary/Abstract: The testimonies of Moroccan survivors, civilians and soldiers of years the lead, disclose highly traumatic prison experiences. These are narratives of life and - death if we should say - where memory issues are important. The aim of this paper is to provide a reflection on the memory staging, confronted with multiple forms of dehumanization, which refuses to surrender by constantly nurturing in dreams, tales and drifting imaginations. It is through these subterfuges that it transgresses the prison world and reinvents its own universe to keep itself alive and expressive. This custodial language is also the setting in narrative of a whole process created by a complex memory, which appeals to the olfaction, to the hearing and to the taste, so as to reconstruct landmarks in a chaotic space. The memory, in these narratives, tells by the superposition of the voices of the narrators and those of other characters, the crumbling and the dislocation of other memories.
