Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Abstract
In Algeria, conflicts between Western and Arab-Muslim models have led to symbolically non-linear structures recalling mathematical and scientific principles. Assia Djebar seeks possible explanations for the violence of the nineties in the repression of certain political events that occurred during the struggle for independence. The gaps in the historical memory parallel Le Blanc de l'Algerie's fragmented a-chronological text.
