| description | This article examines the appearance of Isabelle Eberhardt as a traveller in Malika Mokeddem’s Le Siècle des sauterelles (1992). It discusses Mokeddem’s view of the place of women in the Algerian desert and how she negotiates the freedom of her heroines through the nonconformist character of Isabelle Eberhardt. This study examines the more or less complex negotiation of the marginalisation of women in the desert to show how Mokeddem entered into dialogue with Eberhardt to save her heroines from the regime of patriarchy and give meaning to their Muslim religion and their nomadism. If the Algerian Sahara was Eberhardt’s space of choice, where her identity was able to unfold, it is no less so for the heroines of Mokeddem: the literature of this one allows us to conclude that the desert experience succeeds for tourists and travellers and not for indigenous women who undergo traditional confinement, in the middle of spaces that are supposed to be vast and liberating. |
