Résonances historiques et politiques dans L’Année de Bacchus d’El Mostafa Bouignane: vers une écriture de la résilience

El Mostafa Bouignane's novel L’Année de Bacchus explores the theft of the statue of Bacchus from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Volubilis, Morocco, to examine historical and political violence. Through alternating historical facts and existential narratives, the author illustrates how authoritarianism and trauma shape individual and collective memory, with the human body serving as a 'parchment-min' of history. The novel suggests that writing can transform resentment into resilience, offering a path toward reconciliation. Bouignane's engaged literary approach, characterized by simplicity inspired by impressionism, bridges novelistic and historical narratives while denouncing societal ills through art.
