African Literature : A Tool for Societal Correction An Afrocentric Study
No full textContemporary societies around the world are facing numerous societal phenomena, the future consequences of which are potentially alarming and worrisome if left unchecked. Consequently, the need for societal correction for a better future has become imperative, and this change can be achieved through various means.
This study argues that African literature can be used as a powerful tool to achieve the desired change. It aims to demonstrate how African literature meets the criteria for societal correction by examining paradigms and moral stances on issues affecting society, using a textual and interpretive analysis of selected literary works (Blood Petals is a novel by Kenyan writer Ngugi wa Thiong’o). This study is based on the premise that African literature offers an opportunity to reconnect with the roots that have contributed to the preservation of the specificities of traditional culture, without compromising the overall progress of modern society. Given literature’s potential for social change, a reading culture must be revitalized and encouraged, particularly among the alpha generation, who are both the victims and the benefactors of this practice, as they offer models of psychological correction and guidance.Les sociétés contemporaines dans le monde entier sont confrontées à de nombreux phénomènes sociétaux, dont les conséquences futures sont potentiellement alarmantes et inquiétantes si elles ne sont pas maîtrisées. Par conséquent, la nécessité d’une correction sociétale pour un avenir meilleur devient impérative, et ce changement peut être réalisé par divers moyens.
Cette étude soutient que la littérature africaine peut être utilisée comme un outil puissant permettant d’atteindre le changement souhaité. Elle vise à démontrer comment la littérature africaine remplit les critères de correction sociétale en examinant les paradigmes et les positions morales sur des questions qui affectent la société, à l’aide d’une analyse textuelle et interprétative d’œuvres littéraires sélectionnées (Pétales de sang est un roman de l’écrivain kenyan Ngugi wa Thiong’o). Cette étude part du principe que la littérature africaine offre une opportunité de renouer avec les racines qui ont contribué à la préservation des spécificités de la culture traditionnelle, sans compromettre le progrès global de la société moderne.
Compte tenu du potentiel de la littérature pour le changement social, une culture de la lecture doit être revitalisée et encouragée, en particulier parmi la génération alpha, qui est à la fois la victime et la prometteuse de cette pratique, vu qu’elle offre des modèles de correction psychologique et d’orientation.

Contemporary African Literatures Under Tension : A “Tokenized” Werstern Gaze ? The Case of Algerian Writer Kamel Daoud
No full textKamel Daoud has become a globalized author. His authorial figure, increasingly polarized between his homeland and his host space, makes him a controversial writer. Indeed, the Algerian writer is often criticized for adopting a discourse in line with the host literary field, in this case France, thus adapting an authorial stance adjusted to the ideas and ideals of the coveted literary space. In turn, the host field offers the Algerian writer the media coverage necessary for his literary and social recognition, which is often criticized for being conditioned by symbolic expectations. His posture, which oscillates between criticism of his own country and a discourse adapted to the French intellectual space, raises the question of his possible tokenization. In this article, we propose to analyze the mechanisms of the literary and social recognition of the writer Kamel Daoud from the tokenist prism, through his discourses within his work and outside of itKamel Daoud est devenu un écrivain algérien et africain globalisé. Sa figure d’auteur, de plus en plus polarisée entre l’espace d’origine et l’espace d’accueil, fait de lui un écrivain controversé. En effet, il est souvent reproché au romancier algérien d’adopter un discours en adéquation avec le champ littéraire d’accueil, en l’occurrence la France, adaptant dès lors une posture auctoriale ajustée aux idées et idéaux de l’espace littéraire occidental. À son tour, le champ d’accueil offre à l’écrivain algérien la médiatisation nécessaire à sa reconnaissance littéraire et sociale, à laquelle on reproche souvent d’être conditionnée à des attentes symboliques. Sa posture, qui oscille entre la critique de sa propre contrée et un discours adapté à l’espace intellectuel français, soulève la question de sa possible « tokénisation ». Dans cet article, nous proposons d’analyser les mécanismes de la reconnaissance littéraire et sociale de l’écrivain Kamel Daoud sous le prisme tokéniste à travers ses discours dans son œuvre et à l’extérieur de cette dernière
Nulle part dans la maison de mon père by Assia Djebar A Traveling Gaze between Two Worlds : The Contradictions of a Life With a Cathartic Effect
No full textThis article examines Assia Djebar’s novel Nulle part dans la maison de mon père by looking at how it draws on implicit oppositions between ideas, objects and people that appear throughout the pages. We would like to show how these oppositions, which are often confused with contradictions, can become instruments for exposing deep psychological conflicts that are symbolized by complicated relationships between the author and others. It is interesting, in our opinion, to consider the role of autobiographical writing in the writer's reconciliation with a past that is both tormented and silent.Le présent article propose d’interroger le roman Nulle Part dans la maison de mon père d’Assia Djebar en examinant comment elle s’appuie sur des oppositions implicites qui apparaissent au fil des pages entre des idées, des objets ou des personnes. Nous aimerions montrer comment ces oppositions, qui se confondent souvent avec les contradictions, peuvent –elles devenir des instruments de mise à nu de conflits psychologiques profonds qui se symbolisent par des relations compliquées entre l’auteure et autrui. Il est intéressant, à notre sens, d’appréhender le rôle de l’écriture autobiographique dans la réconciliation de l’écrivaine avec un passé tourmenté et silencieux à la foi
Doctoral Supervision and Representations of those Supervised From Collective Imagination to Effectual Behavior
No full textThis article aims to identify the factors that contribute to the construction of social and professional representations that doctoral students make of the supervision practices of their thesis directors. Representations are understood here as what reflects the desire in the image that the doctoral student has of his supervisor. Some of these practices force several Algerian doctoral students, in particular those in the humanities and social sciences, to interrupt their doctoral adventure with requests to add years beyond three years, to temporarily stop or abandon. This encourages us to question the influence of the interpersonal and professional relational behaviors of thesis directors on the construction of the social and professional representations of Algerian doctoral students and on their professional decisions.Cet article vise à identifier les facteurs qui contribuent à la construction des représentations sociales et professionnelles que se font les doctorants des pratiques d’encadrement de leurs directeurs de thèses. Les représentations sont entendues ici comme ce qui reflète le désir dans l’image que l’encadré a de son encadrant. Certaines de ces pratiques obligent plusieurs doctorants algériens, en particulier ceux des sciences humaines et sociales à interrompre leur aventure doctorale par des demandes d’ajout des années au-delà de trois ans, d’arrêt temporaire ou de l’abandon. Cela nous incite à nous interroger sur l’influence des comportements relationnels interpersonnels et professionnels des directeurs de thèses sur la construction des représentations sociales et professionnelles des doctorants algériens et sur leurs décisions professionnelle
Prepositions in the French of Moroccan Arabic-Speaking Students Analysis of Errors and Linguistic Interferences
No full textThis article explores syntactic errors, particularly the use of prepositions, made by Arabic-speaking Moroccan students in their written productions in French. Through an in-depth analysis of linguistic inter-ferences and the challenges encountered, it examines the causes of these errors based on recognized linguistic theories, such as Krashen’s input hypothesis and Selinker’s concept of interlanguage. The study highlights the importance of adapting the teaching of French syntax to meet the specific needs of these learners, incorporating innovative pedagogical approaches to enhance their language proficiency.Cet article explore les erreurs syntaxiques, notamment l’emploi des prépositions, commises par les élèves arabophones marocains dans leurs productions écrites en français.À travers une analyse approfondie des interférences linguistiques et des obstacles rencontrés, il examine les causes de ces erreurs en se basant sur des théories linguistiques reconnues, telles que l’hypothèse de l’entrée de Krashen et le concept d’interlangue de Selinker. L’étude met en lumière l’importance d’adapter l’enseignement de la syntaxe française pour répondre aux besoins spécifiques de ces apprenants, en intégrant des approches pédagogiques innovantes pour améliorer leur maîtrise de la langu
Textbook and Photography An Ethics of Gaze and Reflexivity
No full textTo what extent can a simple photograph accurately and objectively compose a framework for interpreting the “great events” in human history that school textbooks pass down from generation to generation? What kind of freedom of interpretation is available when the gaze of a subjugated conscience awakens to reflexivity, contemplation, and meditation under the magical influence of the charms of black and white photography? Between subversive power and object of truth, between testimony and “confession”, photography arouses as much covetousness as suspicion. There is no point in digging through the archivesDans quelle juste et objective mesure, une simple photographie peut-elle composer une grille de lecture des « grands événements » de l’Histoire des hommes que les manuels scolairestransmettent de génération en génération ? Quelle sorte de liberté d’interprétation se donne à saisir lorsque le regard de la conscience subjugué s’éveille à la réflexivité, à la contemplation, à la méditation sous l’effet magique des charmes de la photographie en noir et blanc ?Entre puissance subversive et objet de vérité, entre témoignage et « confession », la photographie suscite autant de convoitises que de suspicions. Inutile de remuer les archive
Attachment Patterns as a Predictor of Self-compassion in Mothers of Autistic Children: A Field Study of Some Centers and Clinics in the State of Ouargla
Get PDFThe current study aims to reveal the nature of the relationship between attachment patterns and self-compassion among mothers of autistic children. This is in addition to knowing the possibility of predicting compassion in particular through the attachment patterns of the study sample. This is done by asking the following questions:
1- Is there a correlation between the patterns of attachment and self-compassion among mothers of autistic children?
2- What is the most common attachment pattern for mothers of autistic children?
3- What is the level of self-compassion for autistic children?
4- Is it possible to predict self-compassion through the attachment pattern of autistic children’s mothers?
We validate the hypotheses using the descriptive correlational approach.Two tools were used (the scale of adult attachment patterns prepared by Abu Ghazal and Jaradat (2009), the self-compassion scale prepared by Neff (2003) and translated by Abdel Rahman and others) on a sample of mothers of autistic children consisting of forty (40) mothers of autistic children.
After processing the data statistically, the results of the study hypotheses were as follows:
1- There is a positive correlation between the pattern of attachment and self-compassion among mothers of autistic children.
2- Mothers of autistic children are characterized by a high level of secure attachment pattern.
3- Mothers of autistic children are characterized by an average level of self-compassion.
4- Self-compassion can be predicted by the autistic children mothers’ attachment pattern.
These results were discussed and interpreted in light of the theoretical heritage and previous studie
REGARD SUR LES PARCOURS DE LA STEPPE ALGERIENNE : UNE REVOLUTION AU RYTHME DE DEVOLUTION - CAS DE LA REGION DE M'SILA -
Get PDFThe main objective of this contribution is to establish a diagnosis of the steppe rangelands in theM'sila region. Field investigations in 11 representative areas revealed that the pastoral environment is under theinfluence of a degradation spectrum negatively impacted by the combination of several factors causing animbalance at several levels. The rangelands are being systematically cleared, accelerating the spread of thedesertification phenomenon, while the nomadic farming system, based on hoarding (storing sheep on the hoof),is leading on the one hand to an overloading of pastures and on the other to strong pressure on grazing. Giventhis alarming situation and the fragility of the steppe ecosystem, a new strategy is needed, based on rational useand efficient management of pastoral areas. In other words, opt for an integrated and participatory approach.This is what the present study, a synthesis, attempts to highlightLa présente contribution dont l’objectif principal se veut se veut établir un diagnostic relatif auxparcours steppiques à travers la région de M’sila dont 11 zones représentatives ont fait l’objet d’investigations deterrain révélant que le milieu pastoral se voit sous l’emprise du spectre de dégradation impacté négativement parla conjugaison de plusieurs facteurs causant par la même un déséquilibre à plusieurs niveaux. En effet lesparcours sont systématiquement défrichés, accélérant ainsi l’extension du phénomène de désertification, alorsque le système d’exploitation nomade, basé sur la thésaurisation (stockage du cheptel ovin sur pieds) entrained’une part une surcharge des pâturages et d’autre part une forte pression sur la vaine pâture. Devant cettesituation alarmante outre de la fragilité de l’écosystème steppique qu’une nouvelle stratégie s’impose dès lors ens’appuyant à la fois sur une rationalité en matière d’exploitation et une gestion efficiente des espaces pastoraux.Ce à quoi la présente étude, type synthèse, tente de mettre en évidence
