Creative Paratopy in "Nulle autre voix" by Maïssa Bey

Mohammed Rachid Beneddra

Abstract


The present article analyses Maïssa Bey’s novel Nulle autre voix [No Other Voice]. This feminist author deals with a new theme of an Algerian woman in prison, a place supposed to be only for men. Female criminality is a taboo subject in Algeria because prison represents, in a way, desocialization. A criminal is disowned by his own family for bringing dishonour. Since women represent their families’ honour in Algeria, they are treated more severely than men. This manifests itself in the novel by the paratopic elements forming a discourse that will be analysed by means of an enunciative method.
