It analyses the hierarchies of cultural value which inform the work of six modern French writers: the exoticist Pierre Loti; Paul Gauguin, whose Noa Noa enacts European fantasies about Polynesia; Proust, who analyses such exemplary figures of exclusion and inclusion as the homosexual and the xenophobe; Montherlant, who claims to subvert colonialist values in La Rose de sable; Camus, who pleads an alienating detachment from the cultures of both metropolitan France and Algeria; and Jean Genet. Crucially Genet, who was typecast as France's moral pariah, in charting Palestinian statelessness in his last work, Un Captif amoureux (1986), reflects ethically on the dispossession of the Other and the violence inherent in the West's marginalization of cultural difference.Cambridge studies in French.French literature19th centuryHistory and criticismFrench literature20th centuryHistory and criticismMarginality, Social, in literatureLiterature and societyFranceHistory19th centuryLiterature and societyFranceHistory20th centuryFrench literatureHistory and criticism.French literatureHistory and criticism.Marginality, Social, in literature.Literature and societyHistoryLiterature and societyHistory840.9/355Hughes Edward J(Edward Joseph),1953-1454446MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814124603321Writing marginality in modern French literature4076791UNINA
