This book questions the link which unites the creation of a narrative with the perception of the new in the Arabic stories of Egypt and the French stories of Algeria. In the Arab-Islamic domain, innovation is suspected of heresy as soon as it starts to deconstruct narratives and canonical characters.

Mounira Chatti est professeure a l’universite Bordeaux – Montaigne. Ses travaux sur la litterature francophone et arabe des XX et XXI siecles (recit, theatre, essai) s’interessent au rapport entre histoire et fiction, au statut de la litterature dans le champ arabo-islamique, ainsi qu’a la theorie postcoloniale et a la question du genre.
