| description | Abstract
In this reading of Nina Bouraoui’s auto-fictional novel Garçon
manqué (2000), using Franz Fanon’s concepts of affectivity
and hybridity, as well as Senghor’s notion of rhythm, I explore
the narrator/protagonist Nina’s violent and turbulent journey from
childhood to adulthood, caught in the transcultural conflict zone
between France and Algeria. For Nina, it is above all the loss of
her childhood friend, Amine, and their shared connection to the
wild, beautiful and violent Algeria that causes her deep sense of
melancholia. The young girl develops various strategies for survival in
these precarious circumstances, one of them being gender travesty,
by acting like a tomboy and assuming different masculine aliases.
It is, however, the trans-figurative process of writing which becomes
her main line of flight. Coming to terms with this loss of Amine
and Algeria—through writing—Nina is eventually able to reconnect
with her affectivity, and hence to embrace her own femininity and
sexuality. |
