La littérature, terre d’asile : du voyage à l’exil. Il s’agit d’étudier le thème du voyage à travers différents genres narratifs. L’analyse des textes de plusieurs auteurs de langue française permettra de montrer que ce motif littéraire a des origines géopolitiques et historiques diverses, comme la colonialisation, les guerres, les flux migratoires, sans pour autant s’y réduire. En effet, la thématique est aussi en lien avec l’acte même d’écrire et avec le rêve.

Literature, a land of refuge: travel and exile. The theme of the travel will be studied through different fictional genres. The analysis of texts written by French language authors will underline the importance of the subject. This central literary motif has several geopolitical and historical origins: colonialization, war, migratory flow… but is not totally restrained by those causes. We will show that this topic is also linked to writing itself and to the creative process.
