In the early Eighties, a literature about the Beurs started to develop, followed a few years later by a considerable cinematographic production. In these works, men and women characters have remarkably different approaches towards their life in France and the construction of their hybrid identity. Typically, male characters are depicted as intolerant and rebellious, while female characters are most often flexible and successful in becoming integrated into French society. An analysis of issues of gender in these texts thus helps elucidate how beur female identity is constructed while opening up new perspectives on beur texts.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In the early Eighties, a literature about the Beurs started to develop, followed a few years later by a considerable cinematographic production. In these works, men and women characters have remarkably different approaches towards their life in France and the construction of their hybrid identity. Typically, male characters are depicted as intolerant and rebellious, while female characters are most often flexible and successful in becoming integrated into French society. An analysis of issues of gender in these texts thus helps elucidate how beur female identity is constructed while opening up new perspectives on beur texts.
520 $a After having defined my corpus in relationship to contemporary francophone literary production, I will concentrate on the notion of hybrid identity in postcolonial societies in order to situate beur identity. I also highlight the central role played by literature and cinema in the shaping of such identity, insofar as they have taken over the self-referential discourse produced by Beurs themselves and have provided a counter-discourse to the discourse of the media.
520 $a I will then focus on the literary and cinematic devices adopted in the texts under examination in order to describe and define beur female identity, my contention being that gender is a crucial element in the construction of beur identity. I will show how beur hybrid identity is transposed in the texts under examination, which provide effective reinterpretations of Western texts and canons that would be impossible without a deep knowledge of Western literature. Through the analysis of the use and reinterpretation of autobiographical narration, fictional narration in the third person, multivocal and polyphonic narration, I aim at proving that beur literary texts can be fully inscribed within the Western literary tradition. I will proceed in a similar manner for cinema, stressing the elements of continuity tying beur films to the colonial production as well as to the postcolonial non-mainstream production of the second half of XXth century.
