Quand l’Histoirese fond dans un paysage remémoré: l’écriture de la mémoire et de l’oubli dans Sarah, feuille mortede Jean-Claude Pirotte

The purposeof this article is to analyse the primordial role of the memory –and his counterpart, the forgetting –in the construction of identity landscape by Belgian writer Jean-Claude Pirotte. Focusing on the memory’s landscapes in Pirotte’s novel, Sarah, feuillemorte, we show in what ways the personal and collective memory (Belgian as well as Lotharingian) combine and what are the terms that allow a singular recollection to join or to expand the shared memory.
