What does “Jewish” signify, and what is it to be Jewish? In the work of Marguerite Duras, a very personal Jewishness, a matter of ethics, interferes with the very heart of her writing. We might ask, then, if this Jewishness did not in fact produce her particular poetics.

Laurent Camerini, the holder of an agregation in Spanish and the former director of the Alliance francaise in Natal (Brazil), has published several articles on Marguerite Duras. A member of the international society Marguerite-Duras, he is currently associated with the women’s studies and Francophone genres and literatures research group at Sorbonne nouvelle – Paris 3 University.
