Abstract
Cet article aborde les personnages de l’oeuvre de Modiano à partir du concept de «paria», pris non seulement comme synonyme de juif, mais aussi comme synonyme d’étranger, dans le but de, d’une part, mettre en évidence les rapports entre ces personnages et les temps et espaces européens évoqués dans les textes, et, d’autre part, faire remarquer que ceux-ci ont une valeur exemplaire en ce qu’ils évoquent un élément fondamental de l’identité européenne : le fait que, dans la période de l’entre-deux-guerres, elle a été reconstruite et remodelée par des flux migratoires internes permanents.
Highlights
«paria», taken as a synonym of jew, and as a synonym of foreigner, with the aim of, on the one hand, highlighting the relationships between this characters and the European times and spaces recalled in the texts, and, on the other hand, prouving how the latters have an exemplary interest in the sense that they evoque a crucial element of the European identity: the fact that, in the interwar period, it was remade and rebuilt by the internal and permanent migration flows
Y si, en fin, se convierte en refugiado, en proscrito, ya no hay cobijo posible en ningún lado: su vida se transformará en una huida permanente, en un angustioso «à bout de souffle»
Desgajados del contexto de las relaciones de clase de su propio país –ni burgueses ni proletarios, ni pequeños burgueses ni campesinos–, existen solamente en relación consigo mismos (Arendt, 2009: 155)
Summary
«paria», taken as a synonym of jew, and as a synonym of foreigner, with the aim of, on the one hand, highlighting the relationships between this characters and the European times and spaces recalled in the texts, and, on the other hand, prouving how the latters have an exemplary interest in the sense that they evoque a crucial element of the European identity: the fact that, in the interwar period , it was remade and rebuilt by the internal and permanent migration flows. En este artículo se propone una reflexión sobre la condición de parias de los personajes de Modiano, y se estudia la posibilidad de incluir dicha condición en la categoría más amplia de lo europeo: el personaje del paria sería, entonces, una figura característica de la literatura no solo modianiana, sino también europea.
