Abstract

The thesis describes the work of Isabelle Eberhardt, a travel writer who explores Algeria and Tunisia between 1897 and 1904. The establishment of the original edition of her texts presents several problems considering that quite a number of publishers modified them. The analysis of the editions that are available today and the consultation of manuscripts retained in the Archives nationales d'outre-mer in Aix-en-Provence, allowed to obtain some helpful clarification on this subject, even if the situation remains delicate. Isabelle Eberhardt travels to the islamic Maghreb with the intention of living in Algeria for good, in the desire to construct her new identity, write publishable texts, learn more about local traditions. The diversity of projects means that there is a personal involvement as well a literary and scientific intention. The research method used by our writer during her journeys has been investigated and summerized by the alternation of engagement and estrangement. Eberhardt's poetics is equally clear and it is based on the valorization of the lieu's vitality as well as on the definition of an existential and living space. The texts are the product of a formation process knowledge-based and with a literary purpose. They have been analyzed with a critical and interpretative approach. Isabelle Eberhardt's experience and the values that it promotes make possible a rapprochement with the studies exploring connections between literature and geography.

La thèse étudie l'œuvre d'Isabelle Eberhardt, écrivaine-voyageuse qui explore l'Algérie et la Tunisie entre 1897 et 1904. La définition de l'œuvre originale demeure difficile étant donné que plusieurs éditeurs ont modifié les écrits d'Eberhardt. Une analyse des éditions disponibles et la consultation des manuscrits conservés aux Archives nationales d'outre-mer d'Aix-en-Provence ont permis de donner des éclaircissements à ce sujet, bien que la situation reste délicate. Isabelle Eberhardt voyage au Maghreb dans le but de s'établir en Algérie pour toujours, construire sa nouvelle identité, écrire des textes à publier et connaître les traditions locales. La variété de ses projets fait en sorte que sa démarche ait des implications personnelles, littéraires et scientifiques. La méthode de recherche mise en place par notre écrivaine au cours de ses voyages a été approfondie et résumée dans l'alternance entre participation et éloignement. La poétique eberhardtienne résulte également claire et elle se base sur la valorisation de la vitalité du milieu ainsi que sur la définition d'un espace existentiel et vivant. Les textes sont le résultat d'un riche processus de formation, de connaissance, d'écriture et ils ont été analysés à partir d'une interprétation critique et théorique. L'expérience eberhardtienne et les valeurs qu'elle encourage permettent de rapprocher l'écrivaine aux études concernant le rapport entre la géographie et la littérature.
