- W3017817774 abstract "The present article puts flesh on the bones of central questions regarding “neocolonialism” and “unhomeliness” in Ahlem Mosteghanemi’s The Bridges of Constantine. In her fictional renditions of the unhomely condition, Mosteghanemi invites the reader to delve into the life of her protagonist Khaled, a veteran in the Algerian War of Independence, whose left arm was amputated after two bullets had become embedded in it. Once independence is achieved, he finds himself skeptical about his Algerianness. The novel displays an aura of estrangement seen by a protagonist striving to grapple with what Bhabha would call “unhomeliness”. The paper examines Khaled’s diasporic journey toward the metropole, wherein the politics of “home” and cultural dislocation are always at the forefront. With a special focus on the author’s esthetic dramatization of unhomeliness, the article is keenly interested in revealing the novel’s masterful mediation of the political and the national experiences through the characters’ personal ones. In other words, it stresses how Khaled’s romantic fiasco to marry the heroine “Hayat” broadens his unhomeliness, heralding an identity crisis. The article argues that Khaled’s intricate task of identity construction propels him to write a novel, where he is provided a space to undertake the uneasy negotiations between an appalling neocolonial burden and a world of utopian essences. The epistolary novel in this respect allows the establishment of a psychological refuge for unhomely self." @default.
