CULTURE AND IDENTITY IN BELGIAN FRANCOPHONE WRI...

Few full-length studies exist in English on French-speaking authors from Belgium. What  if any
are the particular features of francophone Belgian writing? This book explores questions of
cultural and literary identity  and offers an overview of currents in critical debate regarding
the place of francophone Belgian writing and its relationship to its larger neighbour  but also
engages with broader questions concerning the classification of 'francophone' literature. The
study brings together well-known and less well-known modern and contemporary writers (Suzanne
Lilar  Neel Doff  Dominique Rolin  Jacqueline Harpman  Françoise Mallet-Joris  Jean Muno 
Nicole Malinconi  and Amélie Nothomb) whose works share a number of recurring themes and
features  notably a preoccupation with questions of identity and alterity. Overall  the study
highlights the diverse ways in which these questions of cultural identity and alterity emerge
as a dominant theme throughout the corpus  viewed through a series of literary and cultural
frameworks which bring together perspectives both local and global.
