Abstract

In 1946, equipped with his Rolleiflex, Dib, at a young age, took photographs of Tlemcen, his hometown. In 1994, he published his book Tlemcen or Places for Writing, a text marked by nostalgia and love for his city and country. His photos are to be found alongside with his older texts in a personal book. The reader is located between a present and a past semiologically made up by two distinct, but complementary strains: image and text. This article studies how photography is inscribed in the work of Dib, and how it is located at the very heart of both his literary and nostalgic concerns. In his work the intertext, once it has become an autotext, is a way to live out nostalgia.
