La mémoire par les mythes ou la ré-écriture des mythes
Salah Stétié et les mythes méditerranéens
Abstract
In the Mediterranean French-speaking literature, Salah Stétié, the erratic poet with cosmopolitan destiny, embraces the eastern and western banks of the Mediterranean and becomes the perfect mediator between the East and the Occident. On the other side of the Mediterranean, the Memory acts like a catalyst and it fixes the imaginary of the poet who wishes only the Return. Therefore, it is this desire that works out, constructs and illuminates the way the poet operates a true reflection on the memory and the identity through the evocation of the myths and the mythical figures. By a kind of re-actualization of the memory, the myths bridge the world, the country. The author wants to find the union between the man and the world and from his state of exile, he raises questions about his place in the universe. By its dual mythical membership, the Eastern and the Western one, Salah Stétié is also capable to use this ancestral antiquated background which strengthens with its personal capital contribution. In a progressive creative dash, the poet devotes the myth and invents his own myths which propose immutable and eternal values. The renewal and the reformulation of the myth make it possible that the poet restores his perennial and universal dimension.
