Abstract / Description of output

Drawing on the anthropological theory of Arnold van Gennep and Victor Turner, the article will explore the recurrent references in the work of Darrieussecq, NDiaye and Redonnet to liminal locations, times, characters and conditions and will show that analysis of this allusional pattern not only sheds light on the role played by the fantastic in their texts, but also permits more precise identification both of shared thematic preoccupations and of personal priorities and inflections.
