Abstract: | This article compares the functions of rituals in the novels of Abdelkebir Khatibi and
Tahar Ben Jelloun (La mémoire tatouée, Harrouda, L’Enfant de sable, La Nuit sacrée). The aim
of the study is to show that Abdelkebir Khatibi and Tahar Ben Jelloun represent the traditional
rituals of the body as elements of a hybrid language (corpslangue). This “language tattooed on
the body” expresses the plurality of the North African culture and the contradictions of Moroccan
society. It shows the Moroccan individual torn between the loyalty to tradition and the need
for transgression. |
