The image of Algerian women on Facebook: from stereotypes to cynicism a semiological study of the image of women on Facebook pages

Abstract EN

This study aims at identifying the image of Algerian women and their representations on social networking sites, specifically Facebook, among users.

Is the image of women drawn by society in social reality different from those that circulate on social networking sites? Social networking sites have formed a new world for Algerian women in terms of their presence and interaction.

Has this contributed to presenting a different image from the stereotypes that prevailed in our society? To answer this question, we have chosen a set of pictures circulating on Facebook pages.

The audience interacted with them, using the semiological analysis of the image.

Key words: Algerian women, facebook, image, the image of women, social networking sites, Stereotypes
