حفريات الموروث الشعبي في القصة الصحراوية الجزائرية : مقاربة في "حائط رحمونة" 1 للقاص عبد الله كروم

Abstract EN

The engagement of popular tradition in the general framework of the structure of the narrative – with all its historical loads, the richness of the narrated popular with regard to the early Tuati man’s daily experience and his mythical and symbolic tales (which he adopted as explanation for some universal phenomena) – constitutes a rich material for the narrator from which his self is inspired, and which he shares with others.

The historian’s rigidity and discipline, and his skepticism and questioning of everything – and he is all excused for that – make him uninterested in popular culture when recording history.

This is so because popular culture relies mostly on oral tradition, and the mythical and legendary narrated.

Then comes the writer, with all his imagination, to get inspired from those popular cultures to build his creative texts.

This shows the importance of literature and its celebration of the popular tradition.

Despite the scarcity – if not the rarity – of Algerian Saharan fictitious narratives, some young creative writers have engaged in this field.

For instance, Abdallah Kerroum’s collection of tales Rahmuna’s Wall is considered as the first fictitious text which established narrative fiction writing in the province of Adrar.

This text tries to touch experimentation and build the narrative text through popular tradition This modest paper is an attempt to approach popular tradition, and decorticate the narrative structure of the collection, in order to extract deposits of popular culture of the Tuati community that the storyteller tried to portray in his narrative fiction.
