Abstract

Lately, postcolonial criticism has not only opened a worldwide branch to francophone literatures, but has also allowed to study women's texts at the junction of postcolonial theor y and feminist theor y. The hereby ar ticle offers an approach of some Mag reb women writers from the postcolonial feminist theor y perspective and from the «nomadic subject» stated by the feminist philosopher Rosi Braidotti. After a reflection on women writing and the discourse of identity resulting from it, I will analize thoroughly Malika Mokeddem's writing as a representative of a path; real or f icticious path, the writing symbolizes on one hand the revolt, the escape but on the other hand it also gets a vital aspect, turning out to be an exile and errant territory, metaphor of existential nomadism mentioned by Braidotti. Inside women's texts, I'll situate Malika Mokeddem's texts as a reference of a new women writing: between feminity and magrebinity we attend at the deconstruction of stereotypes of gender and at the reinterpretation of the Woman subject.
