Temps, lieux et modalités d’une attente dans les écritures autobiographiques Maḥmūd Darwīš et Fadwā Ṭūqān

The time of waiting provides an interesting prism through which to reread the autobiographical writing of two Palestinian authors, Mahmud Darwish and Fadwa Tuqan. For them, this existential dimension is experienced on two levels, between participation in a collective history, inflected by anxiety and frustration for a state that is never born, and reflection on their human and individual experience as Palestinian writers beyond the limits of political involvement.
