Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyse the primordial role of the memory – and his counterpart, the forgetting – in the construction of identity landscape by Belgian writer Jean-Claude Pirotte. Focusing on the memory’s landscapes in Pirotte’s novel, Sarah, feuille morte, we show in what ways the personal and collective memory (Belgian as well as Lotharingian) combine and what are the terms that allow a singular recollection to join or to expand the shared memory.
