Poisson d’or : déconstruction généalogique et construction identitaire

Abstract

The characters from Le Clezio’s novels, with their great mobility and nomadism, cross frontiers and refuse all forms of belonging based on conventional and conformist values. That non-belonging raises the problem of family inasmuch as this one Le Clezio represents goes against traditional foundations of genealogy and identity. Moreover his novels’ characters essentially young are deprived of paternal and maternal supports. Present study examines Le Clezio’s singular family representation and broadens our thought to the modalities of subjacent and hybrid identity
