| Summary: | Published in 2013, Le bleu des abeilles gives word to an anonymous Argentinean girl who joins her mother exiled in France. Laura Alcoba, author of this novel, lived a similar experience and is inspired by her past to tell what was then kept silent during the dictatorship (1976-1983). Over there, across the Atlantic, it was necessary to keep silence to protect oneself; here, in France, the word becomes possible. This rather complex relationship to language is perceived by the reader as a progressive growth of the protagonist; experienced at first as a constraint, it becomes a liberation. The time of the narrative is the one of a girl stuck between two times, two experiences, represented by the two languages, Spanish and French. The proposed study tries to reveal the narrative strategies which the author used to value the place of language in the identity construction of her character in exile. |
