Approche géocritique du paysage salé dans la littérature diomienne

Laburpena

In Le ventre de l’Atlantique (2003), Celles qui attendent (2010) and Impossible de grandir (2013), Fatou Diome presents a literary “ego-geography” linked to the identity and landscapes of the Saloum Delta. The female link with the landscape becomes the central axis of this study, while analysing the symbolic and linguistic representations that generate paradigms of meaning according to the position that the salty substance occupies in the convergence between nature, culture, space and memory. If, for Michel Collot (2014), literary geography is the expression of a concrete, affective and symbolic relationship that links, according to this research, women to the landscape, geocriticism will allow us to shed light on the salty topos in the Senegalese female imaginary.
