%X Le roman Le Derviche et la mort de Me a Selimovi  fait partie de ces  uvres embl¨¦matiques qui non seulement ¨¦chappent ¨¤ la codification traditionnelle des genres litt¨¦raires, mais contribuent ¨¤ red¨¦finir le statut m¨ºme de la litt¨¦rature en tant que moyen autonome d¡¯action id¨¦ologique. Lu tant t comme un   roman historique  , dont l¡¯intrigue emprunte un cadre historiquement dat¨¦ (celui de la p¨¦riode ottomane), tant t comme un   roman politique  , continuant la lign¨¦e de Kafka et de Camus, Le Derviche et la mort est avant tout une plaidoirie pour l¡¯ind¨¦pendance id¨¦ologique de l¡¯artiste. Publi¨¦ dans un climat litt¨¦raire conflictuel, o¨´ s¡¯affrontent les d¨¦fenseurs de la   litt¨¦rature engag¨¦e   (pour qui l¡¯activit¨¦ artistique n¡¯a de sens qu¡¯¨¦tant subordonn¨¦e ¨¤ un projet social et politique plus vaste) et les partisans de la   litt¨¦rature pure   (qui, pr¨¦occup¨¦s de la forme, ne se soucient gu¨¨re de la r¨¦alit¨¦ sociale et politique), le roman de M. Selimovi  vise ¨¤ red¨¦finir le rapport m¨ºme entre la litt¨¦rature et la politique en proposant des solutions id¨¦ologiques in¨¦dites sur le plan de la cr¨¦ation litt¨¦raire aussi bien que sur le plan des repr¨¦sentations identitaires. The novel ¡°Death  and the Dervish¡± is part of those emblematical works which not only escape the traditional codification of the novelistic literary genres but help as well redefine the status itself of literature as an independant means of ideological action. Sometimes read as a historical novel, which plot can be historicaly identified (the Ottoman period), other times read as a political novel, in the tradition of Kafka or Camus, ¡°Death  and the Dervish¡± is, in the first place, a speech for the defence of artists¡¯ ideological independance. Published in a climate of conflict, where the upholders of the ¡°engaged litterature¡± (those ones for whom the artistic activities have no sense if they are not subject to some vast social and political project) and supporters of the ¡°pure literature¡± (those ones who, being concerned about the form, are made heedless of social and political reality) clash, Me a Selimovi ¡¯s novel aims at redefining the relationship itself between literature and politics by proposing original ideological solutions in both the field of literary creation and of identities representations.
