Résumé : A brief short story in Arabic, «Astir: kirat al-raqs» (Memory of the dance), is characterized by its hybridity and by an innovative textual history. It is the result of a collaborative, evolving writing process (écriture), both African and Arab, at one time Sudanese and Palestinian, male and female, narrative and lyrical. Published online in 2002, by the Sudanese novelist Khalid Uways under the title Astir qissa qasira lam taktamil (Aster: an unfinished short story), it was completed a year later by the Palestinian poet Dunya l-Amal Ismail, who, while retaining a thematic and stylistic coherence, establishes her own imprint, adding (for instance) Dhakirat al-raqs as a subtitle.
