Abstract
This thesis examines the representation of utopia in the works of Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio. Through the reference to the utopian tradition, it provides a global reading of a diverse range of writings, both fictional and non-fictional, which have hitherto proved difficult to classify as a coherent corpus. While drawing upon the imagery of the quest that has been highlighted by mythocritical, psychocritical and sociopoetical approaches, this study extends their conclusions by linking the diverse images of the quest in Le Clezio's writings to this personal quest for utopia.
