Amour et altérité dans Rawā’iḥ Marie-Claire de Ḥabīb Salmī

This article considers certain aspects of alterity in a novel by Ḥabīb Salmī. Maḥfūẓ and Marie-Claire are two ordinary people. They meet, fall in love, live together, and separate. The novel explores the problematic of the Other in its cultural and/ or human forms. Our approach demonstrates the ambivalence of this alterity and tries to identify, through spatial, bodily, and linguistic representations, the rapports between alterity and identity.
