Description
Summary:Armen Lubin, Armenian writer, born in Constantinople and survivor of the genocide, exiled in France in the twenties, was Armenian novelist and became a French-speaking poet. Double passage for the author of the Clandestine traveler: passage from prose to poetry, and from Armenian into French. Echo of the traumatic passage of the banishment and the ontological fracture. Creation of a language in the language, a third territory between the ground of origin and the land of arrival - literary ground of a strange language, tinged with surrealism, making feel the inhospitable in its material for this author who spent thirty years of his life in hospitals. We will examine in what the « foreigner-becoming » of this poetry is characterized by the invention of a language, hybrid, creative, at the crossroads between étrangéisation (strange-becoming) from the homeland and the strangeness of the territory of arrival, questioning the otherness and the exile.
