Le temps et l’espace dans L’Inconnue d’Arras de Salacrou. À la recherche des traces de l’expressionnisme dramatique
Time and space in L’Inconnue d’Arras by Salacrou. In search of traces of Dramatic Expressionism

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyse the treatment of the categories of time and space in L’Inconnue d’Arras by Armand Salacrou [The Unknown Woman of Arras] in the context of the European Dramatic Expressionism. In the analysed drama Salacrou abandons the traditional vision of time and presents a sort of deconstructed time perspective in which events and situations from the life of the main character do not follow any chronological logic. As for his treatment of space, Salacrou establishes a spatial perspective which is situated beyond all material and realistic contours and which reminds us expressionist techniques of spatial structuration.
