Exile and Identity Reconstruction in the Novels by Maryam Madjidi ("Marx et la poupée") and Negar Djavadi ("Désorientale")

Magdalena Zdrada Cok

Abstract


The article is an analysis of the problem of identity present in two novels by French writers of Iranian origin : Marx et la poupée [Marx and the Doll] by Maryam Madjidi and Désorientale [Disoriental] by Negar Djavadi. The issue of exile and the reconstruction of identity in the context of immigration is illustrated on the basis of Fernando Ortiz's theory "deculturation, acculturation, transculturation". The subject of research is also the intercultural dialogue, which applies to the form of the analysed novel.
