Returning to the source text helps reactivate the reading-writing circuit by weaving backward links between eras and cultures. But, if the literary nature of this choice lies in managing and reworking the temporal and spatial frontiers that words can establish concerning the ontological tensions of the creator, the guarantee of the uniqueness of the generated work is thus called into question. Why and how to rewrite a first text then? This gamble becomes increasingly problematic when the original work appears only through the sleeping form, that is, an underground structure capable of emerging intermittently to avoid the drifts of the narrative. The analysis of this device in Boualem Sansal questions the strategies of history rewriting to update it without falling into ideological traps.

Abstract
Returning to the source text helps reactivate the reading-writing circuit by weaving backward links between eras and cultures. But, if the literary nature of this choice lies in managing and reworking the temporal and spatial frontiers that words can establish concerning the ontological tensions of the creator, the guarantee of the uniqueness of the generated work is thus called into question. Why and how to rewrite a first text then? This gamble becomes increasingly problematic when the original work appears only through the sleeping form, that is, an underground structure capable of emerging intermittently to avoid the drifts of the narrative. The analysis of this device in Boualem Sansal questions the strategies of history rewriting to update it without falling into ideological traps.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
