La Civilisation Ma Mère
La Civilisation Ma Mère La Civilisation ma mère, écrit par Driss Chraïbi, explore un seul personnage, la mère. Mais le roman, n’est pas une étude de caractère ; c’est plutôt une étude d’un pays. Le style et ton de Chraïbi varient partout dans le roman, mais la texte reste toujours plein des métaphores et sarcasme. Il y a des temps quand l’intrigue vire complètement hors de réalité, mais d’autres fois ou les circonstances sont vraiment plausibles. Chraïbi approfondie a la fois l’évolution de la mère, mais aussi l’évolution de sa famille, et le monde entier. La juxtaposition entre la mère et le père reste particulièrement palpable à travers l’histoire. Chraïbi semble utiliser l’évolution des relations entre la famille comme un symbole du Maroc entier. Mais Chraïbi choisit de maintenir l’air que l’histoire est une représentation optimiste. Il ne dit même pas que l’histoire derrière l’histoire est possible, seulement que l’alternative—l’assimilation peut exister sans la perte de sa propre culture. L’histoire a deux parties avec deux narrateurs, le premier, être et le prochain, avoir. Dans le commencement de la première, la mère n’a pas d’identité. Elle n’a pas grandit avec une famille, elle est forcée de se marier a treize ans, et même comme adulte le monde elle passe. Les lecteurs se rendent compte pour la première fois la dégrée de naïveté que la mère possède quand elle essaie d’utiliser une paire de ciseaux et une machine a coudre, « les premiers [produits de la civilisation] qu’elle eût eu a faire face. » Elle ne s’adapte pas facilement au nouvelles choses et elle n’accepte pas les conseilles que ses fils, Nagib et le narrateur de la premier partie, Loustic, ont fournit, « elle les (la machine et ciseaux) considérés avec reproche. » La mère est assez têtue, mais ce n’est jamais représenté d’une voix négative. C’est plutôt une conviction calme qui se développe partout dans l’histoire, mais toujours maintenant une présence selon le personnage de la mère. C’est

    This is an ambitious project, and no reviewer can comment on all of it with equal authority. My own background as an historian of European expansion and Asian response over the last two hundred years requires me to take most of the account of prehistory on trust - which is a drawback since Diamond asserts that most of the really important influences on modern history had already occurred before the birth of Christ. To a non-specialist, the account of human prehistory presented here seems plausible and well-founded - the argument is that, as homo sapiens evolved in Africa and migrated to colonise first Asia, then Europe, then Australia, and finally the Americas, so a technical progression from hunting to settled agriculture, and a societal progression…

    So is the past 500 years of human history, when the feudal chains began to uncoil and mass migrations to cities began, truly the parameters with which to understand the human story?

    The relationship between history and literary work is often questioned. There are four main models that have been devised to explain this. The first regards a piece literary work as universal and belonging to no time period. The model states that historical context has no significance in literary texts, and that both should remain autonomous from each other. Critics are concerned with literary texts being artefacts in themselves that surpass the possibilities of a particular time, thus the idea of specific historical context is dismissed. R.S. Crane supports this view and in an essay said history is part of “the general history of culture” whereas literature should be “imaginative works considered with respect to those qualities which can truly be said to be timeless… quite apart from any knowledge of their origin or historical affiliation” (Crane, Ronald. 1967. ‘History versus Criticism in the study of literature’, in The idea of the Humanities and Other Essays Critical and Historical, Vol.2. Chicago: University of Chicago Press). In short, this model centres around the basis that a literary work should be judged on its, as Crane said, ‘timeless qualities’ for example the quality of its linguistic features and other aspects that give a work literary merits.…

    The title for the English version of Umberto Eco's Diario Minimo is undoubtely a brilliant pick, especially because the word so much describe the kind of literature one would find in the book. Originally collected from Eco's monthly column in an Italian magazine Il Verri, these pieces of writings contain the same core of humorous and somewhat cynical swing of literary theory, anthropology, and cultural biases which I find very amusing, entertaining, and yet a little bit disturbing to read since they question many things that have ever been taken for granted.…
