Abstract: By applying the ecopoetic approach to Rachid Mimouni's L'Honneur de la tribu, one realises that the descriptions of the landscapes have only been studied at face value by critics. Indeed, summing up the work as an opposition between a traditional utopian state and a state of traumatic forced modernity leaves out the ambivalence of the qualifications of this space and hides the staging of the story of a failure, that of a tribe incapable of adapting to its environment, whatever it may be.
