Description
Summary:The writing of the novels Zabor or The Psalms and The Painter Devouring the Woman by Kamel Daoud takes on an equivocal character, a creative project torn between an amply satirical militant expression and an aesthetically crafted intercultural orientation. Apparently, this writing takes the form of a satirical discourse that targets the sacred, either by either by holding an offensive, sarcastic discourse, or by engaging in an intertextual game marked by the burlesque disguise, the thematic transposition and the ironic quote. Implicitly, this writing is also an aesthetic in which the sacred is transmuted into an intercultural dialogue which aims to harmonize the Eastern and Western imaginations. This dialogue of cultures is underpinned by the fusion of the arts of the pictorial nude and Arabic calligraphy, of the robinsonnade and One Thousand and One Nights, the novelistic genre and the esotericism of Muslim mysticism.
