Boubaker, Donia2022-06-102022-06-102014"Quêtes littéraires" 2014, nº 4, s. 164-172http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12153/3155Partly a tramp and partly an outcast, the hobo as a character in Laurent Gaudé's imagination and fiction is a multi-faceted figure, a metaphor for modern world crisis. Resorting to a sort of primitive morality, he elects to break away from a universe of exclusion, alienating individuals to the point of stripping them off of their humanity, and he ultimately becomes a hobo. His wanderings become a form of resistance to repressive normality, and the Gaudean tramp evolves into a social rebel figure.frAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/hobooutcastrebelexclusionalienationresistanceprimitive moralityinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article10.31743/ql.4584
