World Languages and Cultures professor of French and Italian Anna Rocca publishes a chapter entitled “Azza Filali et les interférences créatrices” in a book titled Hybridations et tensions narratives au Maghreb et en Afrique subsaharienne, Peter Lang, Germany.
The book collection is edited by Daniel Delas, Khalid Zekri, and Anne Begenat-Neuschäfer. Rocca’s chapter aims to explore the characteristics, the perspective and the function of the hybrid politics in Tunisian society as represented in Azza Filali’s Ouatann (2012) and Les Intranquilles (2014).
Rocca argues that narrative tensions are produced by ruptures of societal and family belonging in the afterwards of the Revolution, against which characters fight to avoid social exclusion and emotional and physical numbness. Creative interferences are strategically used as an alternative space of reflection in order to envision new forms of understanding, collaboration and production.
