Hybrid thinking in the work of Tahar Ben Jelloun

Through the theory of hybridity we have been able to shed light on some of the works of Tahar Ben Jelloun an internationally renowned author. First by highlighting what is related to the linguistic hybridity that underlies Ben Jelloun''s work. Then the question of genres by clarifying the presence of genres (tales rihla and legend) and their characteristics in the text. Finally we have undertaken a reading of the two texts in the light of the theory of cultural hybridity as thought in the work of Bakhtine and Alphonso de Toro.
