Wardleworth, N orcid.org/0000-0001-7502-2640 (2016) The Roman Maghrébin in the Aftermath of the Arab Spring. Contemporary French and Francophone Studies, 20 (1). pp. 141-149. ISSN 1740-9292
Abstract
Numerous articles and essays have been published in French about the events of the Arab Spring in both the Maghreb and the wider Arab World. These works have mainly been authored by French journalists and intellectuals and are aimed as much at the general public as at their academic peers. Less immediately obvious is how these political events have informed and influenced the roman maghrébin. Focusing on three depictions of the Arab Spring in Tunisia and its aftermath, this article will investigate the profiles of the authors and the extent to which such texts have offered women and young authors the chance to represent their experiences. It will also examine the literary formats that such writers have adopted. How has the Arab Spring, and the media coverage of these events, altered the way that authors write and publish their thoughts and emotions? To what extent are they turning to alternatives to the traditional novel, such as blogging, photo diaries, and short-stories?
