Abstract

This article explores the concepts of interculturality and multiculturalism, emphasizing their interactions and implications in postcolonial contexts. Interculturality promotes dialogue and understanding between cultures, while multiculturalism values the coexistence of these cultures within the same society. Literature, particularly immigration literature, provides a space for exploring intercultural dynamics by analyzing experiences of exile and identity redefinition. Through Tayeb Salih's novel Season of Migration to the North, the article examines how migratory narratives interrogate colonial legacies and cultural transformations. The reflection focuses on how these narratives reconfigure notions of belonging and otherness while revealing the tensions and resistances inherent in migratory experiences.

Cet article examine les notions d'interculturalité et de multiculturalisme, en mettant l'accent sur leurs interactions et leurs implications dans les contextes postcoloniaux. L'interculturalité favorise le dialogue et la compréhension entre cultures, tandis que le multiculturalisme valorise la coexistence de ces cultures au sein d'une même société. La littérature, en particulier celle de l'immigration, offre un espace d'exploration des dynamiques interculturelles, en analysant les expériences d'exil et de redéfinition identitaire. À travers le roman Saison de la migration vers le Nord de Tayeb Salih, l'article explore comment les récits migratoires interrogent les héritages coloniaux et les transformations culturelles. La réflexion se concentre sur la manière dont ces récits reconfigurent les notions d'appartenance et d'altérité, tout en révélant les tensions et les résistances inhérentes aux expériences migratoires.
