Le Poète Honoré Par Les Siens Et Ignoré Par Les Officiels: Toute L L’Algérie profonde / Ouest Malek Alloula enterré à Oran Le poète honoré par les siens et ignoré par les officiels La dépou ille du défunt a été rapatri ée ce samed i à l'aéro port d'Es-S énia à Oran. ©D. R. C’est à partir du domicile mortuaire à St-Hubert que s’est ébranlé le cortège funèbre, suivi de véhicules et d’un bus du TRO transportant des comédiens. L’écrivain et poète Malek Alloula a été enterré au cimetière de Aïn El-Beïda, à Oran, samedi 21 février, où repose son frère Abdelkader Alloula depuis 1994. Une grande foule a tenu à accompagner l’auteur à sa dernière demeure, en présence de son frère Kamel, de ses cousins, de ses proches parents, des membres de sa famille et de ses amis. La dépouille du défunt, décédé mardi dernier à Berlin à l'âge de 78 ans, a été rapatriée samedi dernier à l'aéroport d'Es-Sénia à Oran. C’est à partir du domicile mortuaire à St-Hubert que s’est ébranlé le cortège funèbre, suivi de véhicules et d’un bus du TRO transportant des comédiens. Des personnalités appartenant au monde de la culture, des hommes de théâtre, des comédiens, des artistes de tous bords ou de simples anonymes sont tous venus rendre un dernier hommage à l’auteur de Petit cireur mon frère. Le froid piquant du mois de février donnait un air de tristesse à cette fin d’après-midi hivernale. Kamel, le frère de Malek, inconsolable, était soutenu par Noureddine Boukhatem, le maire d’Oran. Il était à l’enterrement à titre personnel, pour, dira-t-il, “assister à l’inhumation de Malek Alloula, mon ami d’enfance de M’dina J’dida”. Une façon de signifier son mécontentement face à l’absence des officiels locaux et centraux. Mais qu’à cela ne tienne, tous ses amis étaient rassemblés autour de Malek Alloula, qui a été enterré à côté de sa grand-mère Alloula Messaouda (1885-1971). Parmi les présents, Jalila, fille d’Assia Djebar, et son époux qui ont tenu à faire le déplacement de Cherchell à Oran, le frère d’Assia Djebar, Mohamed Bensalah, auteur et universitaire, Azri Ghaouti, directeur du TRO, et Benamar Mediene, écrivain. Abdelkader Belkaïd, comédien qui avait côtoyé le monumental Abdelkader Alloula, a affirmé que le décès de Malek Alloula constitue une “perte majeure de repères pour toutes les générations”. Pour Bouziane Benachour, dramaturge et écrivain, actuel directeur du quotidien El-Jomhouria, Malek Alloula est “avant tout un grand poète et un excellent nouvelliste qui ne s’est jamais éloigné de son pays en restant trop attaché à la terre et au terroir”. Malek Alloula, né le 13 novembre 1937 à Aïn Témouchent, était un écrivain algérien de langue française qui a poursuivi des activités éditoriales à Paris depuis 1967 où il vivait et travaillait. Après la ville d’Oran qui l’a vu grandir, Malek Alloula avait fait des études de lettres modernes à la faculté d’Alger, ensuite à la Sorbonne à Paris où il a soutenu sa thèse sur son auteur de prédilection Denis Diderot et le XVIIIe siècle. Il est l’auteur de plusieurs recueils de poésie (Villes et autres lieux, Rêveurs/Sépultures, L’Exercice des sens, Mesures du Vent, L’accès au corps et Les Festins de l’exil). Son premier poème Petit cireur mon frère lui fut inspiré par la proclamation, en 1963, par le président Ahmed Ben Bella, interdisant l’activité du métier dégradant de cireur. La dernière œuvre du défunt était un roman-photo intitulé Paysage d'un retour publié en France, en collaboration avec le photographe Pierre Clauss (2010.) K. R-I..

  • France & Its Others -- Syllabus DRAFT7
    France and its “Others:” Race, Nation, and Identity in (Post)Imperial Society History and Literature 90EL, Fall 2020 Monday/Wednesday 12:15-1:15 pm EST, via Zoom Instructor: John Boonstra ([email protected]) Office hours: Monday 1:30-2:30 pm EST and by appointment, via Zoom Description of Course: In a controversial—and bestselling—recent novel, Michel Houellebecq imagines France’s government and society taken over from within by Muslim extremists who impose Sharia law. Fears of internal “colonization”—by Muslims, immigrants, Jews, Americans, and various “Others”—are nothing new in French history. Yet, by tapping into the growing influence of the anti-immigrant extreme right in French politics over the past several decades, the popularity of Houellebecq’s novel raises a number of provocative questions for contemporary French—and global—society: how has a country premised on the “equality” and “fraternity” of all of its citizens continued to exclude religious, ethnic, and racial “Others?” And, perhaps more perplexingly, how did what was once a global empire—whose reach extended from the South Pacific to the Caribbean, from North and sub-Saharan Africa to Southeast Asia—become so anxious about being “colonized” within Europe itself? Most proximately, how did the violence of France’s colonial wars—in Algeria and Indochina especially—and the tumult of postcolonial migration shape the fears and fantasies of national and imperial identity? This course will address these questions by taking a longer and wider view of the (post)colonial experiences of twentieth-century France. Surveying works of history, politics, literature, anthropology, and film—from Sartre and de Beauvoir to Houellebecq and Sarkozy, Ousmane Sembène and Frantz Fanon to Azouz Begag, Linda Lê, and Alain Mabanckou—we will seek to understand how the perceived dangers of invasion drew on and departed from the ambiguities and insecurities of imperial power.

He was born in Jerusalem.He was an American citizen through his father. Said‟s father was a Palestinian who soldiered in the US army in World War I.Said‟s father was granted US citizenship for his military services. After the War in 1919 Said‟s father moved to Cairo and established his stationery business.

II Abstract This thesis deals with the representation and misrepresentation of gender in both colonial and post-colonial literatures. This has been done by examining a number of novels authored by Algerian and French writers. The latter were born in Algeria, like Albert Camus and oth- ers. The aim is to show that oftentimes the representation given of gender, especially during the colonial period, was a distorted image, and subsequently object of sharp criticism. This thesis highlights the enterprise not only women but also a number of men embarked on to reassess this image and in so doing give new dignity to gender. A number of writings penned by to name a few, Mohamed Dib, Mouloud Feroun, Mouloud Mammeri, Kateb Ya- cine, Assia Djebar and Djamila Débêche among others were examined.

  • Severed Images: Women, the Algerian War of Independence and the Mobile Documentary Idea Siona Wilson City University of New York
    International Journal of Francophone Studies Volume 21 Numbers 3&4 © 2018 Intellect Ltd Article. English language. doi: 10.1386/ijfs.21.3&4.233_1 Severed images: Women, the Algerian War of Independence and the mobile documentary idea Siona Wilson City University of New York Abstract Keywords During the Algerian War of Independence (1954–62), conflicts over the mean- Algeria ing of appearances, particularly in relation to the bodies of Algerian women, were documentary a major locus for political conflict, subterfuge and violence. As demonstrated in rape the most famous representation of the war, Gillo Pontecorvo’s widely celebrated silence film La bataille d’Alger (Pontecorvo, 1966), the strategic use of the veil and unveiling of unveiling was the mechanism that produced the Algerian woman as insur- women gent. What the eyes (or camera) saw was not always to be believed and nor was visual appearance akin, in any straightforward way, to truth. Drawing on key historical examples, including La bataille d’Alger, Marc Garanger’s Femmes algériennes 1960 (1960) and Assia Djebar’s 1979 essay ‘Regard interdit, son coupé’, as well as Zineb Sedira’s contemporary film installation Gardiennes d’images (2010), this article proposes a theory of the documentary image in light of the political complexities over vision and appearance that have continued to haunt the historical representation of Algerian women. Placing an empha- sis on the circulation of images and the mobility of meaning, the argument stresses communities of political belief rather than visual truth in establishing documentary meaning. Résumé Pendant la guerre d’indépendance algérienne (1954–62), les conflits à propos de la signification des apparences, notamment en relation du corps des femmes algé- riennes, ont été un lieu majeur de conflit politique, de subterfuge et de violence.
