- PublicationOpen AccessLa transposition de Dante et de Béatrice aux enfers du camp de Drancy à travers L’anus du monde de Daniel Zimmermann.(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones., 2018) Arráez, José LuisAbstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the intertextuality of Dante Alighieri’s Vita nova in Daniel Zimmermann’s L’Anus du monde. This fictional account of the Holocaust depicts François Katz, a Jewish university student who is an atheist and a deported bourgeois. As a result of his deportation experience, which we interpret as a journey of initiation, Alighieri and his work, are considered by Katz as a human and literary reference. Following this perspective, we will show the transfiguration of Dante and of Béatrice in François and Myriam, which will help explain the psychological transposition of the bourgeois courting mirrored by Zimmermann in the concentration camp environment. Furthermore, we have focused our attention on the intertextual presence of Cantique des cantiques and of Talmud. This transtextual approach will allow us to explain the stylistic choice of the novelist whose intention is to avoid any type of parodic interpretation of historical referents.
