Hospital Geocriticism In Tombéza And La Malédiction (the Curse) Of Rachid Mimouni: From Individual Disappointment To Social Disintegration

Authors : Zerrouk Soulef .

Abstract

This article is a geocritical study of the hospital in the work of Rachid Mimouni. Starting from the concepts of referentiality and spatial polysensoriality, we propose to examine the modes of representation of this universe and their symbolism in both novels Tombéza and La Malédiction. It is a question of seeing the anchoring and the topology of the hospital then its individual, social and historical allegory.
