Writing animals in literature is part of the modern quest for social justice and redefining the way we relate to each other and to our world. In this corpus, a poetics of interrelatedness between humans and non-humans and between culture and nature that celebrates multiplicity, diffrance, and disbands with any static ideology, is what allows for an ecological reading. Such an interplay underscores our shared existence in nature while also de-privileging fixities in Knowledge. This study focusses on two methods of writing animals in contemporary French-language literatures: animal narrators and interweaving presences of animals and humans. First, animal narrator storytellers in Patrick Chamoiseaus Les neuf consciences du Malfini, Alain Mabanckous Mmoires de porc-pic, and in Patrice Nganangs Temps de chien emphasize the importance of imagining animals' point of view; such work lends itself to considering perspectives of other disregarded, especially animalized, beings in societies. Secondly, in interweaving the lot of animals together with that of the humans in Stphane Audeguys Histoire du lion Personne, Marie NDiayes Trois femmes puissantes and Olivia Rosenthals Que font les rennes aprs Noel? colonized, enslaved, female, and queer identity experiences are highlighted as well as similarities in circumstances. All six works offer a mode of viewing the interconnectedness of humans and non-humans being on earth. The authors representations show the plurality of value in our world and challenge habits of oppositional thinking-imagining. Dualistic views, especially a Cartesian-inspired humanism where Man masters and possesses Nature, have served as foundational pillars for isms such as racism, sexism, and speciesism, have reduced groups, and consequently led to many modern horrors such as slavery and the holocaust. A poetics of interrelatedness in the six stories reinforces the call for a change in relations between and among beings following Derrida, to adapt to ever-changing realities in the world we share. And, on the strength of both types of approaches, as well as situated differences, the corpus of French-language literatures embodies the type of shared, relational work needed to contribute to the field of ecocriticism in ways of relating among the living world (humans/non-humans) and the world in which we live.
