صورة الجزائري في مخيال الآخر

Abstract EN

This article, entitled revealing the image of the Algerian in the writings of the other "Western", tries to identify the ideology behind his speech, which contributed to the formation of what looks like a mental "reference" among the French in particular and Europeans in general about the land and the Algerian man and more echoed it in their subjects where they put facts about it and gave their opinions about it and described its "strange" appearance in the hope of reproducing it on the civilized European scale.

in view of the invention and facts that these images represent, it is certain that they do not negate the dialectic between the self and the other.

here, the feature of comparative literature emerges in the knowledge of the personal experience of French writers and the West in general about Algeria and their relationship with its people and how they transferred its images in their literature to their individual and collective selves.
