ABSTRACT. In this paper I am particularly interested in exploring the political nature of Duras’s films, plays, and fiction, the exotic space of her characters, the flexibility of the fictional view in her literary narratives, and the relevance in her cinema of the viewer’s function as dynamic creator. The findings of this study have implications for the heterogeneous character of Duras’s fiction, the complex intertextuality of her texts, the outstandingness of topics like segregation, marginality, desire, and insanity in her work, and her intensifying disbelief with regard to ideas of identity, knowledge, and communication. pp. 146–152
