L’écriture de Malika Mokeddem : une écriture de la métamorphose
No full textThe reader attentive to the novels of Malika Mokeddem cannot fail to spot the impressive link between humans and nature. The author’s fiction creates its own laws and invents a universe where language is no longer used as a means of description but as a tool to symbolically say a fusion between its different elements. The space of the dune amply brushed in the novels has captured our attention since it metamorphoses and changes status: sometimes affective/ maternal, sometimes seductive. As for the symbolically painted sea, has an emotional dimension since it has often been synonymous with substitute for the absent mother.
We will try, in this article, to highlight a writing in metamorphosis and to understand its different manifestations through the analysis of the explicit and implicit words of the author in her stories. The use of Bachelard’s work will therefore be of great support to explore the proposed avenues.The reader attentive to the novels of Malika Mokeddem cannot fail to spot the impressive link between humans and nature.

THE AUTHORITY OF THE TEXT IN POSTMODERN THOUGHT
No full textAbstract : It is no longer possible to assert the existence of absolute certainty in the interpretation of things (interpretation of texts, interpretation of existence in general), especially with postmodern thinking (with hermeneutics, deconstruction and other approaches), as it has become useless to provide final or neutral interpretations, because turning to the past (the past of the text, or the past of the author) is only to the extent that it makes us understand the present based on the previous conception, and we must then go beyond this framework to a broader horizon than it, since time does not repeat itself twice: we mean by that the time of writing, and because the horizon of the interpreter is constantly changing, and that experiences are ultimately living and continuous experiences - including the experiences of readers and interpreters - and that the coming of "writing" is the coming of "play", and therefore, the text has been brought down from its height - from its sacred rank - to become an endless game of meanings.

Ethos and Humanism of the Threshold at Malika Mokaddem From Revolt to Restorative Oblivion
No full textWhen literature manages to transcribe the feelings of each and every one of us, it fulfills its highest mission: to make individual experience a shared human experience. It is precisely this humanistic vocation that the work of Malika Mokaddem achieves, where personal narrative becomes an act of recognition and transmission. This article explores the development of ethos and humanism in the work of Malika Mokaddem, based on a detailed analysis of her novel Je dois tout à ton oubli(2008). In line with the trend of extreme contemporary, this formula, forged by Michel Chaillou and theorized by Dominique Viart, refers to writings that since the 1980s have focused on thinking about the fractures of today’s world: erasure of landmarks, shattering of identities, hybridization of forms. The writing of Mokaddem evolves from revolt towards reconciliation, from cry to appeased voice. This study, based on the examination of the poetics of forgetting conceived not as an erasure, but rather as a restorative action, highlights the change in the link with memory, language and the other. The author therefore reformulates the role of the writer-witness as a vector of humanity, building an authentic threshold humanism based on mobility, oral expression and mutual recognition. The article demonstrates that, in Mokaddem’s work, writing transforms into a gesture of discreet resistance and personal redefinition. Hence the term ethos in our title, where forgetting paves the way for a philosophy and an ethics of reconciliation and resilience.
 
Patriarchy and Women’s Resistance in Lauraine’s Hanberry A Raisin in the Sun (1959) and Malika Mokeddem ‘s The Forbidden Woman (1993).
No full text56p. ; 30cm(+CD-Rom)We examined the issue of patriarchy and women's resistance in Lorraine Hansberry's A
Raisin in the Sun (1959) and Malika Mokeddem's The Forbidden Woman (1993). In the two
chapters devoted to each issue, we borrowed theoretical concepts, namelySimon
DeBeauvoir’s Otherness in her Second Sex (1949) ,and Chela Sandoval's Differential
Consciousness in her Methodology of the Oppressed (2000), to highlight how women from
different backgrounds endured patriarchy and how some fought for gender equality and
against traditional gender roles. In the first chapter of our work, we focused on the ways in
which women were marginalized and inferiorized, while in the second chapter, we revealed
how some women fought back against the different systems of oppression in various ways
within their communities, and that in both of the works. The study of the two works allowed us
to see that the Afro-American author Lorraine Hansberry and the Algerian francophone
author Malika Mokeddem, despite the different racial and societal backgrounds, similarly
portrayed the experiences of women in patriarchal societies and also their journey of
resistance
Groupements à chêne vert et étages de végétation en Algérie
No full textThe current evolution of the vegetation level notion allows to suggest an acceptable typology of altitudinal zoning of mediterranean mountains vegetation.
Being admitted that each chorologic region have a particular distribution, the author determine thermic limits of vegetation levels in algerian holm oak. These limits vary in function of the three great geographical sectors of Algeria : Westerner, Central and Oriental. In this geographical context, a bioclimatic and dynamic classification of the holm aok grouping is tried in thermo, meso and supramediterranean levels.L’évolution actuelle de la notion d’étage de végétation permet de proposer une typologie acceptable de la zonation altitudinale de la végétation des montagnes méditerranéennes.
Etant admis que chaque région chorologique possède une zonation particulière, l’auteur établit des seuils thermiques pour définir des étages de végétation dans l'aire du chêne vert en Algérie. Ces seuils varient en fonction des trois grands secteurs géographiques de l’Algérie : occidental, central et oriental. Dans ce contexte géographique, un classement bioclimatique et dynamique des syntaxons organisés par le chêne vert, au niveau des étages thermo, méso et supraméditerranéens, est tenté.Dahmani-Megrerouche Malika.

Diversité biologique et phytogéographique des chênaies vertes d'Algérie
No full textAfter abrief overview on the floristic richness of the algerians holm oak groves, the author consider respectively the analysis of the biological and phytogeographical diversity.
This study is led of manner to stress by the crude and real specter utilization, modifications of the flora along a dynamic gradient : forest-preforest-scrub-grassland.
The former translate into a progressive thérophytisation in relationship the péjoration of the general climate but equally with the luminous climate induced by the degree of training opening vegetable. To the phytogéographie plan, despite the maintenance of a certain rate of endémisme, the tendency is to the standardization and to the trivialization of the flora linked to the extension of pluriregionals elements.Après un bref aperçu sur la richesse floristique des chênaies vertes d'Algérie, l’auteur envisage respectivement l’analyse de la diversité biologique et phytogéographique.
Cette étude est menée de façon à mettre en évidence, par l’utilisation de spectres bruts et réels, les modifications de la flore le long d’un gradient dynamique : forêt-pré-forêt-matorral-pelouse. Celles-ci se traduisent par une thérophytisation progressive en relation avec la péjoration du climat général mais également avec le climat lumineux induit parle degré d'ouverture des formations végétales. Sur le plan phytogéographique, malgré le maintien d'un certain taux dendémisme, la tendance est à l'uniformisation et à la banalisation de la flore liées à l'extension des éléments plurirégionaux.Dahmani-Megrerouche Malika.

L'observatrice, indigène ou invitée ? Enquêter dans un univers familier
No full textThe Observer: a Native or a Guest? Taking a Survey in a Familiar World. This article is concerned with the circumstances in which a survey is taken in a familiar world: the group of "Moroccan" families of the company owned housing estate where the author grew up. In contrast to most exotic situations encountered by ethnologists, performing the survey was characterised by gradually achieving a distance the world being studied. The importance attached to the "reputation" of people and of the neighbourhood - a form of capital eminently vulnerable to discredit and indiscretion - explains the people's reticence towards the survey and an intrusion which is not controlled by the group. The way the researcher finds a place in the douar and the unfolding of the survey process reveal the importance of kinship categories for conceptualising social relationships. The forms of popular and petit-bourgeois and more broadly the relationship between the group and the outside, are found to be given an ' additional . interpretation by the inhabitants terms of an opposition between Arabs (Muslims) and gaouli (pagans).■ Malika Gouirir. L'observatrice, indigène ou invitée? Enquêter dans un univers familier Cet article s'intéresse aux conditions de réalisation d'une enquête dans un univers familier, le regroupement de familles « marocaines » de la cité patronale dont l'auteur est issue. A l'inverse de la plupart des situations exotiques rencontrées par les ethnologues, le déroulement de l'enquête se caractérise par une distanciation progressive d'avec l'univers étudié. L'importance accordée - à la «réputation» des personnes et du quartier, forme de capital éminemment sensible au discrédit et aux indiscrétions, explique les réticences à l'enquête et à l'intrusion dans le groupe non maîtrisée : par ce dernier. La manière dont le chercheur retrouve une place dans le douar et le déroulement de l'enquête révèlent ; la prégnance des catégories de parenté pour penser les relations sociales. Les formes de sociabilité populaire et petites-bourgeoises et plus largement les relations entre le groupe et l'extérieur se trouvent sur-interprétées par les habitants selon; une opposition Arabe (musulmans)/gaouli (païens).Gouirir Malika.

Allegories of Format: A Media History of Gottfried Keller's Unlikely Oeuvre
No full textAllegories of Format examines the significance of format to the literary oeuvre of the nineteenth-century Swiss author, Gottfried Keller (1819–1890), best known for his 1855 novel, Green Henry (Der grüne Heinrich). Malika Maskarinec understands format as the organization of a media object's relationship to a world of objects and persons; format orders a text's contents or, in the case of literature, what it represents. Maskarinec focuses on three formats of growing prominence in nineteenth-century media culture: the collected-works edition, the document, and the periodical. The analysis demonstrates that different fictional worlds, characters, and plots in Keller's literary output allegorize the problems that specific print and paper formats pose to literary ideals of literature as an art form and to ideals of creative authorship. As Allegories of Format shows, attending to format allows for false antitheses inherited from the nineteenth century to be dismantled—between high and trivial literature, between the singular artwork and mass media products, and between creative literary works and the supposedly uncreative writing practices of office work

Errance existentielle, mémoire du corps et langage primordial dans N’zid de Malika Mokeddem
No full textThis article explores a phenomenological outlook in the work of Algerian writer Malika Mokeddem. Such an approach departs from the standard scholarship on this author and proposes a wide-ranging alternative to postcolonial studies. The themes of nomadism, language of origin and corporeal expression are investigated through the lens of Merleau-Ponty’s “chair” and the pairing notions of “parole parlante” and “parole parlée.” A strong case study can be made with her novel N’zid (2001), which exploits the amnesia of the female protagonist sailing alone on the Mediterranean Sea, castaway from human interactions and without clues of her whereabouts. Inside and outside worlds meet up as she embarks on a silent journey to her innermost self and physical fantasies. Through uninhibited drawings and by reminiscing sensual flashbacks, she soothes her impaired memory and seizes back her blurred identity.Cet article explore une perspective phénoménologique dans l’œuvre de Malika Mokeddem. Une telle approche s’écarte de la critique habituelle sur l’écrivaine algérienne et propose une alternative aux analyses postcoloniales. Les thèmes du nomadisme culturel, de la langue d’origine et de l’expression corporelle sont investis à travers le prisme d’une « chair » merleau-pontienne avec les notions de « parole parlante » et « parole parlée ». Un cas d’étude peut être mené dans le roman N’zid (2001), dont la protagoniste féminine, dérivant sur un voilier en Méditerranée, est frappée d’amnésie sans aucun indice sur ses allers et venues. Les mondes intérieur et extérieur se rencontrent alors qu’elle s’embarque pour un périple silencieux vers son moi intime et ses fantasmes physiques. À travers des dessins décomplexés et des flashbacks sensuels évocateurs, elle corrige sa mémoire altérée et recouvre une identité occultée
