108 Mobile Culture Studies. The Journal 4 2o18 Graciela Susana Boruszko | Transliteratures “…lo reconozco, y este reconocimiento arrui- na en mí el poder de conocer, el derecho de percibir, de lo inasible hace también lo indesprendible, lo inaccesible que no puedo dejar de esperar, lo que no puedo tomar sino sólo retomar, y no dejar nunca.” Maurice Blanchot (2004:23) “L’enfer c’est les autres.” Jean-Paul Sartre, Huis Clos (1962:190) We are migrant… Our world is presented to us in pluralities, in spaces not well defined, in mes- sages that circulate the cybernetic space in multiple languages, in almost simultaneous times, in a superposition of crossings of words and thoughts that represent a multiculturalism that in spite of being rambunctiously announced it is still not clearly defined.

In the first section, Shared literary spaces I will discuss the characteristics and function of the transliterary space, while on the following section Intercultural spaces, transcultural spaces I will study how the intercultural space becomes a transcultural space thus actively propitiating a transliterary exchange in an intimate “commu- nion” between the participants, to finish with the section Transliteratures where I conclude elaborating the framework of the transcultural space and the transliterary as they host the liter- ary work that I will proceed to analyze. On the second part, I will study this figurative and objective geographical and literary space in the work Amé…Rick by Ahmed Ararou and the film Casablanca. I chose this story because while it connects with the filmic production Casablanca, while conveying a new approach to
