| Summary: | The migrant writer who has a fertile ground for literary production in his writing, somehow manages to exorcise his own existence. The writing of Bragança includes his condition of duality : on the one hand, we are presented with the referential function expressed in actual facts, and on the other, we have the poetic function expressed in his novel. The novel presents us with marks of otherness in the language designed to reveal the author's multilingualism. Bragança uses terms, quotations and references to the French language. The discourse of the Other is based on the principle of radical otherness, heterogeneity and irreducible exteriority which also includes the author, giving a great emphasis to the French language and culture in his novel. Our goal is the analysis of discourse, stylistic and expressive functions regarding the French presence in the whole novel, and thus identifying their major implications on the text’ s dynamics. |
