The French suburbs and its search for its own identity through literature
Szturcová, Ivona-Marie ; Janišová, Míla (advisor) ; Šarše, Vojtěch (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to capture the picture of French suburbs by means of two novels selected from the urban literature. Both novels were written by authors who live in the suburbs, who perceive it "from the inside" and who proclaim their depiction as a real which is contrary to the media reflections which is pronounced to be inaccurate. Thus, the key question results from this friction - what does the real picture of French suburbs look like and why is it incompatible with the the media picture? Our point of departure are the French riots in 2005 that were in some ways crucial and without parallel. The selected novels were both published in 2006, immediately after the riots, and at the same time, they are both set in the presence; therefore, they react to the current events. Both novels were intentionally chosen to reflect the suburbs at the same time.
