| Summary: | In Morocco, modernity, before being a literary phenomenon, has first been motivated by the desire to understand why the Arabo-islamic world was behind the Western world. For the Moroccan travelers who were sent to Europe by their sultans, modernization was first associated to military order and to technical and industrial discoveries. Such a discovery has generated a double consciousness which characterizes the period of the fight for independence: close link to tradition on the one hand and strong temptation towards modernity on the other. Such a double consciouness has taken the form, in literature, of the use of the genre of the novel starting in the 1950s. |
