Dai Sijie: écrire en français pour évoquer dans la distance le pays quitté

Abstract

In Francophone Literary criticism, there is a growing number of foreign writers who have chosen French as a language for literary creation. Their non-post-colonial imaginaries are related with complex experiences as the result of two languages and two cultures living in a same writer in cons­tant migration and voluntary or imposed meeting him-self and/or the Other. The aim of this study of the three novels of the Francophone writer coming from China, Dai Sijie, is to exemplify and contribute to enhance the knowledge of new francophone literatures closely related to cultural identity.
