صورة الجزائر من خلال مخطوط لأشعار الانكشاريين بالجزائر العثمانية (1516-1830)‎

الملخص EN

Imagology, or imagological studies, is one of the broadest fields of comparative literature because of its concern with the other and because it is the main determinant of the type of dimension of interculturality that expresses the identity of the "self" and the "other" at the same time.

The integration of Algiers under the Ottoman rule in the sixteenth century, during a period of about three centuries with the presence of the Turkish-Ottoman element on Algerian soil, produced fertile ground for this type of literary studies.

The central point of our study focuses on the image of the Regency of Algiers contained in the corpus of poems of the Janissaries of Algiers.

The manuscript of this important corpus, translated in the past from the Ottoman into French, was translated as part of this research, into the popular Algerian dialect.

A prior thematic organization of the content of these poems made it possible to identify its three main themes namely: the image of the Algerian woman, social life, and the maritime jihad of the Regency of Algiers.

We focused our research on the analysis of the image that the Turks portrayed about the Regency of Algiers and the local population more precisely, in this double correlation between the "self" and "the other".

Thus, this study aims to identify the areas and degree of cultural interaction between these two social groups through this literary and intangible heritage bequeathed by the Janissaries of Algiers during the Ottoman period
