The Image of the Ego through the Narration of History in Henry Churchill's Biography of Emir Abdelkader
No full textAbstract: This study aims to highlight the image of Emir Abdelkader in the writings of others, through the book “The Life of the Prince” by Henry Churchill, in which the author explores the details of the life of Emir Abdelkader, and recounts different details of his struggle during the resistance against French colonialism, after his surrender and moving to his voluntary exile, where he stayed there for the end of his life.In addition to providing an overview of the difference in the form of the portrayal of Emir Abdelkader between what is contained in this book and some French colonialist writings. We found that the author presented a more objective picture of the Emir's personality, closer to the reality of objective historical details, and away from the fanaticism of French writers governed by their colonialist inclination. Therefore, this work poses a fundamental question: How was Emir Abdelkader portrayed through his biography in the book The Prince's Life by Henry Churchill? What was the image of Algerians in the shadow of the Emir's life and biographical details during and after the resistance against French colonialism?

Abdelkader Lagtaâ and his conceptual exercises in Poland, 1972-74
No full textThis article focuses on conceptual practices by Moroccan artist Abdelkader Lagtaâ, whose early 1970s work, created as a part of Polish conceptual milieus in Łódź and Warsaw, remains undocumented in art-historical scholarship. The author rediscovers Lagtaâ's practices as part of conceptual strategies in Eastern Europe and discusses his work in relation to Okwui Enwezor's article "Where, What, Who, When: A Few Notes on 'African' Conceptualism." The author argues that while Enwezor and, later, other scholars, including Olu Oguibe and Salah M. Hassan, critique the work by African conceptualists to and through conceptualist strategies prevalent in Africa and the West, Lagtaâ's work was almost entirely situated in the linguistic, performative, new media, and mail art experiments characteristic of Eastern Europe. While the work of conceptual artists from the African continent identified by Enwezor remained on the margins, outside of international and noninstitutional artistic circuits, Lagtaâ's work was an intrinsic part of the early 1970s collective experiments and transnational networks of artistic exchange between Eastern Europe and other geographical regions
De vertaler als (co-)auteur? De Italiaanse vertaling van Abdelkader Benali’s De Langverwachte
No full textThis contribution seeks to analyse the complex and fascinating translation process of Abdelkader Benali’s award-winning novel De Langverwachte (Vassallucci 2003) into Italian. Due to a combination of professional and personal circumstances, Benali gave the Italian translator Claudia Di Palermo the total freedom to edit the novel. For example, the Italian translation, La Lunga Attesa (Fazi 2005), underwent an editing process in which, among other things, the number of chapters was reduced from 58 to 47. In the analysis, the profiles of the author and the translator will first be outlined. Subsequently, the most important reasons for the editing process will be explained on the basis of an interview with the translator. Finally, the four translation strategies are explained by referring to Di Palermo’s personal notes. These are: separation, merging, deletion and addition
Understanding Employers’ Perception of Employability Skills and Career Development in Morocco
No full textResearch into employability issues is currently receiving considerable attention. In Morocco, a significant number of employers are satisfied with the skills of their newly hired employees. However, other employers express their dissatisfaction with the newly hired workers and believe that they lack some of the most basic skills needed for successful employment. The present paper proceeds by providing a systematic review of employability skills from the perspective of employers. It aims to research the gap between employers’ requirements of graduates and their actual skills with particular focus on employers’ perception. The participants in this study are 20 employers from three sectors, primary education, banking and tourism in the region of Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco. The instrument used for data collection is an on-line questionnaire. More specifically, the study reported that a majority of respondents perceive innovation and creativity as fundamental employability skills. In light of the results, the study recommends that universities should make great efforts to ensure that they are equipping their graduates with employability skills as identified in the industry
Major Choice & Employability in Morocco: English Major as a Case Study
No full textThe present paper aims to examine the factors that impact students’ choice of English Studies as their college major. Many variables are tested such as gender, age, university, degree, effect of media, employment status, etc. The study explores the employment status and the job opportunities offered to English major graduates in the Moroccan job market. To this end, the bivariate analysis was adopted to analyze quantitative data that was collected through an online survey of 444 students from different universities in Morocco. The quantitative analysis was completed by the results of a qualitative investigation, based on an inductive approach, through three semi-structured interviews. The findings suggest that students choose English as major because they enjoy the learning of the language, and because they think it offers better job opportunities. Another major finding is that the stream background does not affect students’ integration in the Moroccan job market.The present paper aims to examine the factors that impact students’ choice of English Studies as their college major.

Analysing Author Self-citations in Computer Science Publications
No full textIn scientific papers, citations refer to relevant previous work in order to underline the current line of argumentation, compare to other work and/or avoid repetition in writing. Self-citations, e.g. authors citing own previous work might have the same motivation but have also gained negative attention w.r.t. unjustified improvement of scientific performance indicators. Previous studies on self-citations do not provide a detailed analysis in the domain of computer science. In this work, we analyse the prevalence of self-citations in the DBLP, a digital library for computer science. We find, that approx. 10% of all citations are self-citations, while the rates vary with year after publication and the position of the author in the list as well as with the gender of the lead author. Further, we find that C-ranked venues have the highest incoming self-citation rate, while the outgoing rate is stable across all ranks
Association des Oulemas : une tendance de l’islam politique algérien (Epoque d’entre les deux grandes guerres)
No full textThe article presents how Algerians’ national awareness was born. At that time, the country was still a French colony (a department belonging to a metropolis). The author mentions two important figures: Abdelkader ibn Muhieddine and Ben Badis, both of them are important when the process of rousing Algerians’ Islamic and national awareness is taken into consideration. Abdelkader and Badis were ulamas; Islamic intellectuals who tried to rouse Algerians by restoring importance of their language and culture. They did not want to rouse political awareness in people, but rather identity coming from moderate Islam. Moderate Islam was supposed to be the basis of resistance against “making the country more French” and at the same time depriving dignity. The author quotes fragments of Ben Badis’ reply directed to Ferhat Abbasa (who represented Members of Parliament compliant with France). The reply is of a great value when Algerians’ national liberation movement is taken into consideration.The article presents how Algerians’ national awareness was born.
