The Dialectical Human and the Dynamics of Cultural Fission in Modern and Contemporary Moroccan Francophone Novels: Case Studies of Idriss Chraibi and Fouad Laroui
The academic research paper intends to exhibit a specific survey about Moroccan reality artistically and aesthetically way and to reveal the aspects and figures of modern and contemporary Moroccan man in the social environment. So, that man is the person who has been based whether on the philosophy of cultural fission or the philosophy of identity-existential fission. This vision should be built by adopting a sociological and cultural reading.
In this respect, it is possible to call to mind, as a case study, two novels: a modern Francophone novel, produced by Idriss Chraibi, entitled “Civilization is My Mother” (2014), and a contemporary Francophone novel, produced by Fouad Laroui, entitled “Return to Casablanca” (2016). Nevertheless, the epistemological question that directs us and frames the research reading is as follows: To what extent has the modern and contemporary Francophone Moroccan novel been able to draw the features of the ontological being of the Moroccan person in light of his relationship with the socio-cultural and political environment that it contains? In what artistic, stylistic, and aesthetic form was the image of that person conveyed on the textual level?
This problematic perception should be clarified, especially when we aim to read two novels proposing courses of textual-narrative imagination, where various social, cultural, historical, and ideological patterns/systems are formed and articulated.
