摘要:I analyze Gérard Gavarry’s Hop là! Un deux trois (2001) for its depiction of a quotidien seeking to challenge spatial hierarchies, significantly set at the edges of Paris, with support from Gavarry’s energetic and subversive writing style. Hop là! exemplifies a current trend in contemporary French literature and film that explores the relationship between the quotidien and notions of space and place, especially those that consider attachment to sites one inhabits on a daily basis. Here, the depicted quotidiens unfold in spaces and places outside of the more traditional spatial categories of rural and urban and which blatantly assert a daily experience of instability, alienation, and anonymity. Beyond providing a lens into this experience, the quotidien in such texts is the tool by which characters seek to escape their discomfort. In doing so, they contest the environments in which they, as “outsiders” to certain French social and economic power structures, find themselves.
