Border’s voices: the other Catalans of nowadays

Abstract

This study focuses on the analysis of some of the immigration Catalan literature voices’. This literature is placed between two cultures, in the border between what is known and unknown, in the margins of what its characters are and what they are not. In this vein, this literature does not narrate epics facts, but individual feats. These feats are often associated with mood, which is generated from rewriting the own personality of its characters. Thus, the work we present is an approach to otherness and it has been developed from some books of Saïd El Kadaoui, Najat El Hachmi, Agnès Agboton and Francesc Serés. All these border voices are increasingly more common, deeper, more read and therefore closer to those who one day might also be part of these margins in continuous fluctuation.
