This tormenting beloved — this Hayat who is a correlative of the East Algerian city Constantine, and by extension of the homeland Algeria — captivates, in the words of Hoda Wasfi, “by writing the self through the nation, by the double voice of body and language, and by combining the techniques of fictionalised tue with documentation, thus blurring the frontiers of genres and creating intertwining meanings”. Mosteghanemi at Beirut Book Fair The publishing house Albin Michel translated some of her work in French: Although the ahlqm Dhakirat Al- Jasad is specifically Algerian in its setting with the action moving between Paris and Constantine and occasionally Tunis, its significance could be felt anywhere in the Arab World or in the Third World. Hayat, on the other hand, meets someone who knew her father, whom she rarely met as he was involved in the clandestine struggle intimately, msteghanemi who could tell her about him and what he was like, going beyond the national icon that he has become in the eyes of his family and his moateghanemi.

Mustaghanmi, Ahlam (1953–) Ahlam Mustaghanmi (Ahlem Mosteghanemi), a prominent Algerian author, is probably the world's best-known arabophone woman novelist. PERSONAL HISTORY. Mustaghanmi was born on 13 April 1953 in Tunis. Her parents were from Constantine, a historic city in eastern Algeria, which they left in 1947, moving to Tunisia following Mustaghanmi's father's release from prison by French colonial authorities. Her father, Mohammed-Cherif Mustaghanmi, was an Algerian nationalist and had been arrested following the Sétif demonstration and massacre of 8 May 1945 (Algerian civilians in the city of Sétif participating in a parade marking the end of World War II in Europe demonstrated for Algerian independence and were set upon by French police and settlers, who killed thousands, including Mohammed-Cherif's brothers). In Tunisia, Mohammed-Cherif resumed his activism, making his home a meeting place for Algerian nationalists before the war of independence (1954–1962) and for freedom fighters during the war years. After independence in 1962, Mohammed-Cherif took prominent positions in the government of Ahmed Ben Bella. When Ben Bella was ousted in a 1965 military coup that put Houari Boumédienne into the presidency, Mohammed-Cherif became very ill. Suffering from an acute nervous breakdown, he spent most of his time in a psychiatric clinic in Algiers where Ahlam visited him at least three times a week. He was unable to comprehend or accept the political conflicts of postcolonial Algeria, which turned former comrades into rivals aiming to eliminate each other. Disillusioned and resentful, Mohammed-Cherif died in 1992, as Algeria was embarking on a decade of civil war and terrorist violence. Ahlam Mustaghanmi attended primary school in Tunis and high school in Algiers. Her love for Arabic literature and language was stimulated by her father, who, despite his vocation as a French teacher, had his children learn Arabic, a language he himself had been unable to acquire under French rule. Because of her father's condition, she helped to support her family while still in high school by working for Algerian radio. Mus-taghanmi broadcast a radio program, Hamasat (Whispers), on literature and music, and at the University of Algiers, where she studied Arabic literature, she was one of the first Arabized graduates in the country in 1971. Two years later she published her first collection of poems, 'Ala Marfa' al-Ayyam (On the harbor of the days), dedicated to her father (who was too ill to appreciate it) for whom, in her own words, she writes in Arabic. In 1982 Mustaghanmi earned a doctorate in the social sciences from the Sorbonne in Paris with a study of "L'Algérie, femme et écriture" (Algeria, woman, and writing). In her thesis she proposes that Algerian men must become liberated and emancipated before women can aspire to such ideals. She harshly criticizes the National Union of Algerian Women (UNFA), and calls its members "a gathering of ugly and frustrated women." During her student years in Paris Mustaghanmi met George Rassi, a Lebanese journalist, whom she married and with whom she lived in Paris and, after 1994, Lebanon. Marriage and motherhood consumed all her time for some years. Later she made a tentative return to writing through her contributions to Hiwar (Dialogue), a magazine edited by her husband, and al-Tadamun (Solidarity), an Arabic magazine published in London.

It would not have been possible without my chair, Carol Bardenstein, who helped shape the project from its inception. I am particularly grateful for her guidance and encouragement to pursue ideas that others may have found too far afield for a “literature” dissertation, while making sure I did not lose sight of the texts themselves. Anton Shammas, throughout my graduate career, pushed me to new ways of thinking that I could not have reached on my own. Coming from outside the field of Arabic literature, Megan Sweeney provided incisive feedback that ensured I spoke to a broader audience and helped me better frame and articulate my arguments. Samer Ali’s ongoing support and feedback, even before coming to the University of Michigan (UM), likewise was instrumental in bringing this dissertation to fruition.

  • The Embodiment of Algerian Trauma As Injury in Literature and Film: Two Female Voices from Memory in the Flesh and Rachida
    International Journal of Language and Literature December 2018, Vol. 6, No. 2, pp. 6-10 ISSN: 2334-234X (Print), 2334-2358 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/ijll.v6n2a2 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/ijll.v6n2a2 The Embodiment of Algerian Trauma as Injury in Literature and Film: Two Female Voices from Memory in the Flesh and Rachida Dr. Lamiaa Youssef1 Abstract This paper explores the depiction of trauma and exile in an Arabic novel and motion picture set in the 80s and 90s in Algeria. Through the experiences of the protagonists in Ahlam Mosteghanemi‟s novel Memory in the Flesh and Yamina Bachir-Chouikh‟s film Rachida, the article examines the body as a site and record of trauma and exile, where loss is experienced at both national and individual levels. Through the damaged bodies of men and women, these works demonstrate the disintegrating effects of the Algerian civil war. Keywords: Algerian women, trauma, civil war, body as canvas 1. Introduction Sociopolitical trauma has been a part of Algerian history as a French colony from 1830 to 1962, and as an independent nation from 1962 until the present. The War of Independence was followed by a relatively peaceful period, which ended when changes in governmental authority and widespread corruption brought about a civil war. Riots started in 1988 due to dissatisfaction with the ruling party, the National Liberation Front (FLN). During the Dark Years from 1991 to 2002, Algeria was thrown into turbulence by fundamentalism and terrorism.

  • L'écrivaine Ahlam Mosteghanemi Sollicitée Par L
    Culture / Culture Artiste de l’Unesco pour la paix L’écrivaine Ahlam Mosteghanemi sollicitée par l’agence onusienne ©D. R. La romancière algérienne Ahlam Mosteghanemi a été sollicitée pour devenir “Artiste de l'Unesco pour la paix” et son “Messager de la paix” pour une durée de deux ans, a-t-on appris, samedi, de source de l'agence onusienne. La directrice de l'Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (Unesco), Mme Irina Bokova, a invité la femme de lettres algérienne à associer étroitement ses activités à celles de l'organisation pendant toute la durée de ce mandat. Le choix de l'Unesco s'est porté, a ajouté la même source, sur une des romancières arabes les plus influentes et les plus vendues dans le monde, qui s'est distinguée par son travail en faveur des droits de la femme, du dialogue interculturel et de la lutte contre la violence. Née en 1953 à Tunis, Ahlam Mosteghanemi se fait connaître d'abord en animant à la Radio nationale une émission quotidienne consacrée à la poésie, alors qu'elle est encore lycéenne. Elle a publié son premier recueil de poésie en langue arabe en 1973, Ala marfaâ al ayam (Au havre des jours). En 1982, elle obtiendra son doctorat en sociologie sur le thème de l'image de la femme dans la littérature algérienne à la Sorbonne. En 1993 alors qu'elle s'est déjà installée au Liban, elle publie Dhakirat el djassad (Mémoires de la chair), un roman à succès vendu à plus d'un million d'exemplaires et qui en est à sa 19e édition.

  • Contemporary Arabophone and Francophone Algerian Literature and Its National and Transnational Conditions of Production
    1 Power and Publishing: Contemporary Arabophone and Francophone Algerian Literature and its National and Transnational Conditions of Production by Miss Karima Bentoumi A Thesis Submitted to the University of Portsmouth In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY April 2020 2 Abstract This thesis explores the relationship between Algerian fiction writing and its conditions of production. It examines how these conditions of production shape both literary careers and novels’ thematic concerns. It assesses the possibilities and limitations of the existence of an “Algerian literary field” within a transnational context in which Algeria is an economically minor cultural player. The evolution of the relationship between art and the market is studied across the longue durée – i.e. since the first Algerian novels were published at the start of the twentieth century to the present day. Particular attention is paid to a new generation of Algerian authors – mostly in their late 30s – writing today, whom have hitherto not been the subject of academic study. This is alongside the analysis of the careers and work of internationally well-known contemporary authors Kamel Daoud, Yasmina Khadra, Boualem Sansal, Waciny Laredj and Ahlam Mosteghanemi, who owe part of their success to the creation of literary personas, and notably the persona of the post- colonial “translator” of Algeria to non-Algerian audiences. The majority of existing academic studies focus on Francophone fiction publishing. Arabic-language fiction and publishing has tended to be understudied. This thesis brings together the study of Arabic-language literature with that of French-language literature to offer a more complete study of the Algerian publishing scene.
