Abstract

enThis master thesis examines the creation and movement of identities, whether personal or literary, in Emmanuelle Bayamack-Tam's Je viens (2015) and Arcadie (2018). It is divided into four parts, beginning with a precise analysis of each character and concluding with a more general commentary on the novelistic genre revisited by the author. The sources used to understand the functioning of identities are literary as well as psychoanalytical, sociological or anthropological. The intention of this dissertation is to open up literature to the human science and allow an analysis of contemporary literature. The first part focuses on the question of the body and on its implication in identity, the second focuses on the relationship to others, the third seeks to question the ritual sequence within the studied works and the last one reflects on the existence of a trans form of novel literature. This research primarily attempts to target Emmanuelle Bayamack-Tam's contemporary literature as possessing a fluid gender identity, both in its characters and in its writing.
