Abstract

In Harrouda of Tahar Ben Jelloun, the rewriting of oneself in the other is intended as a form of self-apprehension. By placing himself between two codes, different from each other by their respective referents, Ben Jelloun digs a distance from the collective ego and tries to appropriate an equivalent self that is not grounded in the community culture. Aware that the test of otherness accomplished in the signs and referents specific to the mortgaged language can dig another gap in the being, Ben Jelloun in no way slows down the effort to remain himself by negotiating the acquisition of a new identity outside the roots where his people have forged their being.
