Abstract
Since the late 1980s, artistic and literary creation in Morocco has been defined by an aesthetic and formal hybridity, operating through a fusion of traditional heritage and the imperatives of modernity. This "metis" production, marked by multiculturalism and the use of new technologies, deconstructs academic canons to generate multidisciplinary works (visual arts, literature, digital media). In literature, this heterogeneity manifests as the fragmentation of genres, the interpenetration of orality and literacy, and a heterolinguism (code-switching between French, Arabic, and English) that reflects a multipolar identity. Faced with the pressures of globalization, this dynamic of cross-breeding (métissage) is not a mere juxtaposition of codes, but a strategy of cultural resistance aimed at rehabilitating an authentic and decentralized identity, transforming text and image into spaces where the endogenous and the universal coexist.
