LITERATURA MODERNA Y (SUB)DESARROLLO EN EL ÁFRICA NEGRA THEOPHILE AMBADIANG "A people are truly free when they control all the tools, all the instruments, all the means of their physical, economic, political, cultural and psychological survival. In short, when they control the means and context of their integrated survival and development." (Ngugi wa Thiong'o (1993: 78)). "How does a writer function in such a society? He can of course adopt silence or self-censorship, in which case he ceases to be an effective writer. Or he can become a state functionary, [..] and once again cease to be an effective writer of the people. Or he may risk jail or exile, in which case he is driven from the very sources of his inspiration. Write and risk damnation. Avoid damnation and cease to be a writer. That is the lot of the writer in a neo-colonial state." (id., págs. 72-73).

“El arte de hacer ficción sobre el proceso de evolución del orientalismo literario occidental en la cuentística de Ahmed Ararou.” Hispania 96.1 (2013): 2-16 (Lead article)

A través de la cuentística de Ahmed Ararou, escritor marroquí que se expresa en castellano, este ensayo propone deconstruir la naturaleza de un nuevo paradigma de formación de identidades culturales marcadas por la hibridación de elementos semióticos: intertextualidades, palimpsestos y deconstrucciones tendientes a la elaboración de un discurso crítico y subversivo que se apropia de los "cánones literarios clásicos", recodificándolos en el marco de la contemporaneidad y biografía del autor-narrador y su localización cultural. Se trata de un proceso de escritura que rechaza identificarse con unos pocos rasgos culturales definidos y determinantes para considerarse producto de influencias múltiples y de múltiples pertenencias. De esta manera, en este ensayo se analiza el espíritu renovador que le propina este escritor periférico a las letras castellanas con el afán de crear un nuevo discurso ficcional sobre Occidente, el mismo Oriente y, esencialmente, sobre ese espacio intersticial que está dado geográfica y mitológicamente por la Europa mediterránea, el norte de África y el mundo árabe-musulmán.
