اللامنتمي و التقوقع على الذات و الذاكرة : الأنساق المضمرة في رواية "أربعون عاما في انتظار إيزابيل" لسعيد خطيبي

Abstract EN

Many Algerian literary works are still inherent to the colonial era and the postcolonial one, still digging up the past looking for being questions and self-knowledge.

the novel that is concerned with this research paper details the self's struggle that does not feel the sense of belonging and refuses to admit the distortions that threaten its existence.

this is because it did not find the way to face, but, rather, chose to escape to the past to justify its actions and set aligned to the character that has nothing to do with it.

the end Isabelle Eberhardt fights Joseph's blackish existence, hating all that ties him to Algeria.

then, why did Joseph talk in the novel ? what did he want to say ? how did he shape colonial and pre-extremist Algeria through his voice ? did he lay hands on the crisis background, or did he adopt a ready stereotyped conception, damning fundamentalism with no identification of its causes ?.
