أسئلة الهوية في الخطاب الروائي الجزائري المعاصر : الحب في حضرة الأعور الدجال لعزالدين جلاوجي-أنموذجا

Abstract EN

The aim of the present study is to extrapolate the manifestation of identity questions in the Algerian modern narrative discourse.

To achieve its goal, it relies upon the project of the Algerian novelist Azzeddine Djilaoudji, namely his narrative “Love in the Presence of the One-eyed Charlatan” (Translation of the Arabic: Al-Hob fi Hadrat Al-Aawar A'ddadjal).

The novel under study falls within the gender of historical novels and consists an important part of the author's project in depicting Algerian modern and contemporary history through monitoring great historical changes and pivot points that had shaped an Algerian personality, deeply rooted in its civilizational and cultural heritage and constantly steadfast in the face of French colonial cultural models that have always intended to obscure the Algerian identity.

Thus, the study attempts to investigate the functioning mechanisms of the narrative discourse, its aesthetical representations of the history, and its historical rereading according to a perspective that combines the present and the past away from the recording readings of historical events
