Culture spots, conflict spots in La Conquérante (1943) by Roberta Brasillach

Der Band enthält die Abstracts ausschließlich in englischer Sprache.

In 1943, Robert Brasillach wrote a novel entitled La Conquérante. It was intended to be a fictional eulogy of French colonial pioneers in Morocco in 1912. Given his commitment to Vichy’s wartime policy of collaboration, the novel turned out to be an epitaph for the loss of asignificant part of the French Empire. This article proposes a taxonomy of places and spaces in the novel, together with an analysis of their function and how they interact with the characters. It introduces a new concept of isotopias, or fictional transformations of places in literature. It concludes that, although written in the ‘mode’ of possession, the novel proved paradoxically to be the swansong of a new and dispossessed mother-country.
