ABSTRACT. The Ambivalence of Memory in Moroccan Prison Writings: The Case of Tazmamart. The prison literature produced by survivors of the Tazmamart prison in Morocco is a moving testimony to the dehumanizing conditions of imprisonment. Whether in the form of testimony or fiction, this literature, which liberates speech and breaks the silence on a dark page of human rights in Morocco, reserves a special place for individual and collective memory. In this article, we propose to analyze the ambivalence of prisoners′ memories. Firstly, we show that memory is represented as a source of mortifying pain that must be got rid of. Secondly, we show how memory played an important role, and constituted the vital space for resistance and survival.
Keywords: Tazmamart, literature, memory, pain, resistance, testament.
