Vertigo of a rhetorical labyrinth in the writing of Tahar Ben Jelloun

Abstract

The rhetorical figure of the disjunctive list stands out as a singular stylistic trait

in the romantic universe of Tahar Ben Jelloun. In doing so, many in this

enumerative enterprise update and mimic the labyrinthine figure. This article is

therefore interested in highlighting this entanglement, through which the

tropological rewrites the maze. By organizing itself on the model of flow and

accumulation, of the motley multitude, the list verbalizes an undeniable scriptural vertigo.through a

isparate sequence, disunited on a paradigmatic and

syntagmatic scale, the labyrinthine vein is reconstituted.
