Lecture de La maison d'Alexina de Mehdi Charef. Lieux, conflits et maux/mots des autres

The volume restores the senses of the discourse of this novelist, who has incorrectly been collocated into the 'beur' category.Through the analysis of the narrative enounciation and of the negative ways ,especially of the unspeakable , deriving from temporal and spatial and most of all objective and linguistic relations, what is also taken into consideration in M.C's novel is the activity of entering and the scholastic recovery of teenagers with Algerian origins in the seventies: to the characters , children and teen agers, the scholastic place reproposes the same differences and the same uncomfortableness they are living in the Parisin suburbs. The teengers have poured their familiar and cultural past and their being foreign to it into a different way of dialogic block or into violent physical reactions, which starts with un uncorrect usage of the official language. After the 'moment of silence', connected to the past, and characterized by a communicative crysis, the concern focuses into an enounciative analysis that is won by the protagonist who is able now to rebuild himself by writing.
