Full textThe present research aims to describe the Idebbalen poetry, from Kabylian singer-poets through Si Lbachir's repertoire, a poet born in 1861 in Lower Kabylia and deceased in 1930. The scope of the study is to give a better description of this poetry in terms of aesthetics. If only one approach is being considered and if description is geared to a sole and unique aspect related to the materiality of the texts does not render much as it happens to be of oral nature. Only a global and multi-disciplinary approach can therefore be relevant and comprehend thoroughly the oral characteristics of the poetry studied here. As it is understood here aesthetics covers both the repertoire - a coherent set of texts with their thematic, poetic, and metric contents) - and what it is upstream and downstream the work proper. It means that on the one hand it covers the anthropological conditions that have resulted in birth, amplitude and longevity of the repertoire, the author's social status and the conditions of his wok and, on the other hand, to pursue continuity to poetry in general, and keep the heritage alive in particular, the action of various successive audiences have continuously exerted on the poet, and the different functions they have assumed to disseminate it from generation to generation

Full textThis research is concerned with the relationship between society and religion in Kabylia with reference to the tradional trend and the reformist movement. The study further explores the changes in the areas which fall under the sway of reformist movement. For example, we wanted to question issue of Kabyle éducation in the first half of 20th Century. In this repect, the first thirteen chapters have been extended to two others chapters. These two chapters highlith the political struggles and Identity protest in Kabylia and focus on the intellectual and cultural elites who led them in the period between 1940 and 2001. This additional part is tightly linked to the other chapters as it extends the bounds between local and global issues, involving the crisis of modernity and the effects of modernization, and last, the nature of relationship between individual and his own self. Beside, we wanted to raise and treat the issue of social and political mediations starting from the analyis of recent and recurring protests in Kabylia

Full textBased on a survey done in 2005 in Lower Kabylie (Algeria) among 500 households, this PhD analyses the relatioship between vulnerability on the labour market and poverty. This analysis on the labour market in this area, brings out four segments corresponding to different levels of protection, and identifies some characteristics in the segmentation process. Poverty was estimated by applying the two main approaches : monetary and non monetary. Poverty is to be found mainly in rural areas, in big households whose heads of family are uneducated and among unemployed people and workers. The strength of the link between vulnerability on the labour market and poverty changes according to the adopted welfare approach. With a non monetary approach, the vulnerable segments are unquestionably the poorest, wheras with a monetary approach, this result only holds within a similar employment status. Going beyond this causal relationship between vulnerability and poverty, this research work integrates vulnerability in the poverty concept itself as a characteristic among others. The anti poverty policy in Algeria must take this reality into account and therefore put an end to the measures generatig insecure and instable jobs

Full textIn this work on the production and the agents of production in kabylie, the author has made a collection of oral texts spanning an important period of algerian history (16 th to 20 th centuries) and including a very wide range of themes : the so called legitimate genres linked to religious life or civic life and the minor "genres", more centered on profane society. The examples chosen have to do with islam in its orthodox dimension. The "taqsit" form celebrates the official religion and the contrast with the small "dikr" poems whixh are about the popular religion and are the work of the "khouans" (confreres). In the so called "minor" form the izlan (songs) predominate. These are the two main axes of the corpus which strongly marked production until around 1950. After that period, the author deals works linked to the contemporary period the emigre poets (cherif kheddam) and the present day poets influenced by french colonial's school (ait menguellet)

Full textCcna [ʃ:na], is a female traditional Kabylian poem sung publicly at weddings in the area of Ighil n Zekri in Tizi-Ouzou, Algeria. It mainly deals with women’s socio-emotional conditions in rural communities. Although it is similar to other poetic types in the kabylian oral tradition, this poetry has specificities and a meaningful originality, from the point of view of its performance context as well as from the functions it ensures within the producing societies. Indeed, ccna ceremonies lead to the creation of a virtual space of communication and conflict management that deserves an in-depth study. This research project is built around a corpus translated and annotated, its study necessarily implies an approach, both literary of the texts and anthropological (actors, conditions of the creation, dissemination and reception)

Full textIn kabylia, to have children is for women the conquest of the space and the present, the speach, the only way possible against the masculine domination. The childbirth have a religious and a mystic dimension arrosing the mystery, the fascination, the jealousy and the fear. After desperate struggle against "evil-eye" and diverses perils lead by popular knowledge, socials representations, belief and local mythology, the child'll survive, shaped and guided, in his first steps, by the leaven angels. But the state, confronted to big socials and economics problems, decide to control the births. Thus, the state penetrate the society breaking all community solidarity. In these forces relationships (men/women, locality/state. . . ), the children become the first ostages. However, they have their own opinion if they wouldn't be considerated like the banality of the innumerable
Hammi, Arab. "Tamurt : un paysage emblématique et représentatif : la cas des proverbes kabyles." Thesis, Besançon, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013BESA1008.
Full textThe term Tamurt in the Berber (Amazigh) culture is endowed with many acceptances : it habitually designates a set of people possessing the same identity, a region or territory structured by the same language, and the same origin ; it is also related to the land, landscape or space and to what is present in the same entity : the values, traditions, or systems of organization.The Kabyl proverbs illustrate this polysemy in a good way and they still at this time and age have their entire place in the every day life of the inhabitants of Tifrit Nait Oumalek village situated in the Akfadou Mount near Tizi-Ouzou . The monography that we have realised supported by a survey that associates in situ observations, semi-directive interviews, and questionnaires suggests to clarify, through the analysis of the processes of transmission and identification, the relations with tradition and modernity.The rereading of the Mohandien poetry and that of the more contemporary writings of Mouloud Feraoun, Mouloud Mammeri, or Ait Menguellet enriches the discussion and permits to better apprehend the question of orality, symbolism, and intergeneration dynamics
Ahmed, Zaïd Chertouk Malika. "Contribution à l'étude de la toponymie villageoise kabyle." Paris, INALCO, 1999. http://www.theses.fr/1999INAL0015.
Full textToponymy is one of the least explored fields in the Berber studies. Only fragmental studies and some scare but substantial contributions were previously undertaken ; the latter are often incomplete. So, we considered that it is necessary and interesting to bring off a research on this subject. Our work is a contribution to studying toponymy of Kabylian villages. 3376 toponyms are analysed ; they are collected from 28 investigated points which are distributed throughout Kabylian area. The analysis is carried for all the Berber language levels : firstly, for phonetic level, then, for synthematic, morphological and syntactic levels, lastly for the lexical and semantic levels. Linguistic, thematic and spectral models are suggested for the structure of Kabylian village toponymy. The analysis allowed to strengthen some assumption about the underlying unity of the Berber language in one hand ; in another hand, it brought about clarifications in phonetic changes and in some accidents which affect some monematic junctions in Kabylian area. It allowed identifying and inventorying recursive morphological schemas and synthematic constructions on which is based the production of the Kabylian village toponymic structures. Study of lexical and syntactic aspects showed the extreme wealth and accuracy of the Kabylian village toponymy. A strong contingent of fixed terms are taken in. Their reactivation will be a good tool to limit neological creating in a future planning process of the Berber language. In another way, we concluded that the Kabylian village toponymy did not show important divergences relatively to the actual Kabylian language. These are some results that e got in this exploratory work. In future, it will be necessary and important to take up new studies on the socio-economic, historic and anthropological aspects of toponyms in order to complete this work

Full textUntil the middle of the twentieth century, Kabyle literature was essentially oral and was mainly expressed in the poetic genre. If tales, fables, legends and other mythical narratives were another way by which the Kabyle people expressed their genius, it remains that poetry was the matrix of their culture and the receptacle of their history. The Kabyle poetry, more than an art that has to transfigure reality, has the role of rendering this reality, interpreting it and clarifying it to give meaning to the historical and political events.The object of our research is to start from the earliest poetic production as it came to us by the collections of Adolphe Hanoteau (1867), Amar-Ou-Saïd Boulifa (1904), Belkacem Bensedira (1887) Jean Amrouche (1988) and the considerable sum established by Mouloud Mammeri (1969, 1980, 1989) in order to examine the cultural horizon of Kabylia through the study of its oral poetry

Full textThis work is essentially devoted to the study of industrialization in the kabyle region of Algeria. Economic development is assessed through the implantation of light industry and issues of land use planning that arise on a regional scale. This thesis includes an introduction presenting the economic and social characteristics of the region and the framework in which the study is conducted. The first section is an analysis of regional industrial policy, of industry siting, including a case study in a specific economic context of the "household appliances complex" in the main town of tizi-ouzou, and lastly of the effects of industrialization at several levels : demographic, social, economic, educational, sanitary, cultural facilities. Infrastructure is also examined : road and rail networks, housing, water and gas supply. The last two sections, building on the first, examine in general terms national industrialization policy, planning and organization of space, and lastly land use planning policy, regional imbalances and problems of space

Full textThis monography (2 volumes, 572 pp. , with a cassette containing seventeen vocals and two instrumentals-drums) gives an inventory of circumstances when music intervenes and of the songs that are linked to them. Those songs, almost exclusively sung by women, are never taken up by amateur or professional musicians. The thesis begins with a foreword, in which the author explains his motivations, in introduction bearing on written sources, sound recordings, fieldwork, methodological motivation, the village and its structures (village space, family relationships, sex discrimination and mutual respect relationship), and indications on the strophic notation used for words and synoptic notation used for tunes. The dissertation is divided into eight chapters dealing with ethnographic, lexical, poetical and musical data, and one chapter is devoted to itinerant and professional musicians, those chapters bear an birth, marriage, love, sung contest, lullabies, entertainment, death and war, they are followed with a musical analysis (poetry metric, scales, musical forms and functional notes), a conclusion, a bibliography -containing 101 references-, and a musical glossary with 217 entries

Then, we reconstitute the ideal-type of the kabyle village organization at the time of french intrusion. We mainly focus on the modelling of political and legal systems. In the second part, we analyse historical changes. This part is made of mine chapters, each of them corresponding to a fraction of the two centuries we have studied. Besides this chronological study, a gepgraphical one leadus to highlight the internal diversity of the greater kabylia and to show the differential impact of phenomena induced by the french colonization and by the post-colonial politics

Full textThe Cattle egret, Bubulcus ibis, is a species in full world expansion in its geographical distribution as well as in the dynamic of population. In Algeria, the species was formerly bred only on a narrow littoral tape and in some sites of eastern high table bands. Since the 1990 years, this Ardeidae tends to colonize new areas and the dynamic of its population had known a considerable stride in its old distribution area. In this thesis, we present mainly data on nearly four years of study (1996 - 1999) concerning the biology of B. Ibis in the Soummam Kabylie (Béjaia, Algeria) where the species bred only since 1993. Our investigations are particularly related to the actual dynamic of population (variation of the wintering and breeding populations, feeding activities, man-bird relation), to the breeding biology (choice of the heronnery site, choice of the nest site, chronology of installation, breeding success, territory behaviour at the time of the nest building,. . . ), also related to the mortality and its causes and to the trophic ecology (qualitative and quantitative description of the food of adults and young chicks, feeding variation according to the trophic needs and different ages, preys selectivity). In addition to this regional approach, this study was supported by an update of the phenological statute of B ibis in Algeria through a national survey carried out in 1999. This step enabled us to point out the new wintering areas and the new breeding colonies established during the years of 1990. Aspects related to the species expansion and its conservation is discussed in the light of all regional and national results and the aim is to enrich our knowledge about the causes of the world expansion of the Cattle egret

Full textIn Kabylia, a society with a male-domination patriarchal tradition, women have employed for many centuries a set of indirect practices, defined in the literature as « counter-powers » (Lacoste-Dujardin, 1985, 2008). Through several processes, they looked as they have always defied the dominant authority by exercising magical practices, adapting to the norms and values of society, but also, by their mastery and subtle use of the art of speech. Female term of abuse, as an act of language, is one of the strategies used by kabyle women to exert their power in an indirect manner on the dominant society, constituted by the men.Most of the research work that focused on the issue of insults in Kabylia has been conducted by anthropologists who analyzed it in its ritualized aspect (Aït-Ferroukh, 1999, Rabia, 1988) or by linguists whose reflections were conducted essentially on the semantic criterion in relation with the worldview and society (Mebtouche-Nejai, 2012). In the anthropological perspective that interests me, the insult will be apprehended as a set of social acts with consequences (Laforêt and Vincent, 2004), rather than as a category of deprecating speech, hence the need to take into account its pragmatic value in the dimension of the harm caused or suffered or the insulting effect (Larguèche, 1983, 1993, 2004, 2009) which is necessary for its comprehension.Based on the typological specifics of female insults, I will try to show, from an essentially pragmatic perspective, in a male-dominating society where the speech is codified, how the insult, as a linguistic transgression, allows women to exert their power indirectly. Examining these processes will help to identify the stakes of feminine power and to see at what extent the insult can be used as a counter-power

Full textThis work proposes a semantic reading of Pierre Bourdieu's scientific discourse. Drawing on interpretative semantics as a theoretical model, this research uses a series of investigations of a corpus classified according to the sociologist's empirical fields. This classification allows having four sub-corpus which correspond to the Kabylia, colonial Algeria, the peasant Bearn and contemporary France. Relying on the hypothesis of the social transformation, the semantic description shows that the global corpus can be read as a dialectical sequence articulating three periods: the world before the transformation (Kabylia), the world during transformation (Algeria, Béarn) and the world after transformation (France). All along the research, a variety of interpretive and inter-textual processes are highlighted within and among the different parts of the corpus

Full textAlgeria knew under the French colonization the constitution of a new urban reinforcement via the creation of "centre européens de peuplement" (European centres of settlement) this research study aims at the release of the general process and of procedures related to the projects of the creation of these centres, knowing these projects were affiliated to precise programs (systems) or following a specific logic guided by opportunities and facts. It is then essential to raise in their historical and geographic context the multiple political, institutional, administrative and technical structures involved in the colonization projects. It appears that behind an homogenous work representing the urban reinforcement, a territorial action far from the monolithic and linear phenomenon for a succession of attempts intimately related to the context in which it fit. The Kabylia of Djurdjura a rocky mountain ground, densely populated and opposed to the extensive needs of colonization has concentrated and amplified the fragmentary action of a territorial colonization between 1857 (late date of conquest) and 1899 (the official date closing the settlement in the region) will constitute for us an excuse to reconstitute in real time the process, the procedures, the actors and their projects

Full textThe ability of the natives to maintain control of their cultural references and parctices in a colonial situation was characterized in Kabylia by resistance to assimilation in the culture of the colonizer. This is illustrated by the chain of precursors in the construction of cultural identity which emerged even before the independence of Algeria. Tracing its genealogy requires studying the different contexts, methods and actors in the development of cross-disciplinary knowledge: from the travellers of the 18th century, the interpreters and officers from the Bureaux arabes, the marginal scholars from the University of Algiers, the primary school teachers and administrators, to the ethnographers of the colonial period and the first French-speaking Kabyle writers. The “Kabyle myth”, in the words of Ch. -R. Ageron and widespread in the scientific community, does not ultimately explain the representation of native otherness found in monographs of the colonial archives which contradicts the supposed assimilation of a region to the French administrative organization. The Kbyle woman was also an issue in the contradictory dbates within the Kabyle elite. The analysis of the various modes of reappropriating knowledge, from the Orientalist period with the inception of the University of Algiers, dedicated to language and ethnography, to the native literature after world war II, sheds light, byond the colonial and postcolonial violence, on the singularity of the manufacturing of an invention of self which exceeds the ideal native transmission of a regionalist culture
Ait, Ferroukh Farida. "Ethnopoétique berbère : le cas de la poésie orale kabyle." Paris 3, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994PA030182.
Full textThis thesis startswth an over-view of the question and lingers over the ethnographic stage as an empiric experience which lays the collected texts, the informer and the searcher as objects of analysis. The poeticcs of reception is first caught as an enunciative situation which confronts the interpreter and his auditory with the searcher during his survey. The analysis of the performance assembles the investigation of the principle aspects of emotion, gesticulation, vively voice and silence. The memory structure appeals to the mnemonic process. Aleqqemor "the verse recurrence", for instance , gives kabyle poetry continual creation. The poetic discourse, articulated through various canals, is backed-up by a long incursion in the world of the invisible, which structures the kabyle systel of representation, as it is, in the same way, narrowly associated to a founder authority around two emblematic figures : si mohand and cheikh mohand. The analysis of the textual forms or "oratology" brings out various poetic genders endowed with a three-based structure, sometimes with an incipit and an excipit, which constitute archi-writing. Topology, inextricably associated with the tropological aspect, underlines the pattern of the eroticised garden and the metaphor which gives an impetus to writing of desire and delight

Full textIn colonized Algeria, the law of March 23, 1882 established the civil status of "lndigenous Muslims of Algeria" by requiring all Algerians to have a surname. The Kabyles perceived the civil status system as a process intended to file and dominate them. This has resulted to this day in the coexistence of two systems of nomination, nomination by the patronymic name of the colonizer and the Algerian administration which took over, (Lacoste-Dujardin, 2005) and nomination based on kinship according to Kabyle culture. The question of our thesis is the following: what are the psychological strategies put in place by the Kabyle population to succeed in making the two systems of nomination coexist? Our research approach is part of a grounded theory methodology (Glaser and Strauss, 1967; Charmaz, 2014). We conducted 24 life story interviews (Bertaux, 2006) and four focus groups (a total of 43 participants) in the Kabyle language in Tizi-Ouzou (Algeria). During this stage, that of analysis and discussion, the complementarist approach (Deveaux, 1969, 1972) was central. Our results highlighted six theorizing categories that explain the psychic and group processes that allowed the coexistence of naming according to local culture and French naming in our research population. The feeling of injustice and non-recognition of their family history as well as an attack on their psychological integrity and that of their ancestors, according to our analysis, reinforce the feeling of pride and the cuit of loyalty to the founding myth of the lineage with mechanisms of repression, shared representations, ideals, identifying markers linked to agreements and disagreements on reappointment. This created unconscious pacts, contracts and alliances. These common mechanisms remain distinct in the intrapsychic sphere and in 1 the group universe

Full textEconomic modernization in algeria has been state techno-bureaucracy's doing. Voluntarist and selective, it is conflicting with social and cultural logics of this society. The crash of energy rent from 1986 onwards sharpens this conflict and shows the failure of this modernization. The example of kabylia proves that political and economic voluntarism of central power has stirred up suspicion from the population. Kabylian political and cultural malaise is a direct consequence of this situation. The lesson which can be drawn is that no stable work if social expectations and deep realities of society are not taking into account

Full textThis study is a dialectometric analysis of Berber dialects of Kabylia. This work includes a sample of 168 Kabyle dialects spread across the Kabyle territory. The analyzed corpus includes 130 entries (lexemes and phrases) collected in each of the varieties considered. We opted for the Levenshtein method to calculate the distance between the variants. We chose the algorithm of Ward's Method for grouping varieties. We tested three methods to calculate the distance between the sounds: the binary method, the Euclidean distance and the Manhattan distance. The analysis of the results allowed us to show the dialect continuum in Kabylia and classify Kabyle dialects into five mains areas

Full textThe Miocene igneous activity in Lesser Kabylia includes a ~130 km-long EW-trending lineament that extends along the eastern Algerian margin from Kabylie de Collo to Ouest-Edough-Cap de Fer area. It includes mostly medium-K to High-K calc-alkaline plutonic and volcanic rocks. In the studied area, these magmatic rocks crosscut and/or overlie the inner zones of the Maghrebides represented by basement and Kabylian cretaceous and Numidian flyschs nappes. New U-Pb dating on zircons and K-Ar ages on whole rocks and separated minerals document a 17 Ma onset for the post-collisional K-rich calc-alkaline magmatism. These Upper Burdigalian ages obtained on the Bougaroun pluton are the oldest presently identified for Krich calc-alkaline rocks in the whole 1200 km-long EW trending magmatic belt located along the Mediterranean coast of Maghreb. However, according to new K-Ar ages, magmatic activity started in Ouest Edough zone at ~16 then persisted intermittently in the two studied areas at ~15.5 Ma, 14-13 Ma and stopped at ~11 Ma, with the emplacement of mafic and felsic dykes in Kabylie de Collo. In addition, we measured older (Upper Oligocene) Ar-Ar hornblende ages of 27.0 ± 3.0 Ma and 23.3 ± 3.2 Ma on LREE-depleted gabbros outcropping at Cap Bougaroun sensu stricto. According to our new geochemical and isotopic data, we distinguish two sources for magmatic rocks in the studied area: a depleted mantle source which could represent the ambient asthenosphere still not modified by the subduction processes at the time of emplacement of the Upper Oligocene LREE-depleted gabbros. The latter could be related to the Upper-Oligocene rifting before the back-arc crust formation in Algerian basin or to dyke systems or gabbroic intrusions crosscutting the stretched Kabylian continental crust. An enriched mantle source modified by a subduction component (melt or fluid) escaping from a northward-dipping subducted Tethyan oceanic lithosphere. The enriched mafic magmas are believed to come from this metasomatized mantle and are genetically related to the differentiated rocks through crystal fractionation and assimilation of large amounts of crustal lithologies, during their ascent through the African continental crust. We propose a tectono-magmatic model involving an Early Miocene Tethyan slab breakoff combined with delamination of the edges of the African and Kabylian continental lithospheres. At 17 Ma, the asthenospheric thermal flux upwelling through the slab tear induced the thermal erosion of the Kabylian lithospheric mantle metasomatized during the previous subduction event and triggered its partial melting. We attribute the strong trace element and isotopic crustal signature of Bougaroun felsic rocks to extensive interactions between ascending mafic melts and the African crust underthrust beneath the Kabylie de Collo basement

Full textThe anthropo-imaginary approach of the body in the Berber feminine poetry hears to recall the manner to name the body, to represent it and to symbolize it in the literature oral from Kabylia and Maghreb. This approach is original for the notably western reader because it allows him to discover the conditionings of the body bound to the space often closed in Berbérie. The body is landed in its relation with the values, the beliefs and the traditions bound to the idea of beauty, to eroticism and to the forbidden celebrated by the song and poetry. The rituals, the habitus, the tattoo enters for many in this codification of the body and the desire. The imaginary around the body recalls the sensitive intelligence of the body, as her expresses itself in the culture and the traditional feminine production. The woman as actor and agent of the social change recites the body and succeeds in existing through this one that she presents by fragments in her texts drawn of the oral tradition. The body is considered in the context of aesthetics of the relation. It is mediating between the individual, the collective, the conscious, the unconscious, the song and the society. Its problematic is put in an infinitely open poetic territory to the measurements of the time and the space. Indeed, we interrogated the body in aspects that explore it within poetry sung feminine anonymous in relation with its anatomical places, its psycho sociological aspects that reveals it as fantasmatic and libidinal body, a hallucinatory body, where pictures, dream, dreaming, emotions make us the demonstration about a body that depends on the pent-up primordial of a topic, which doesn't want to isolate itself of his own flesh

In fact, we have analyzed the village solidarity system and the informal networks around which funds and networks are mobilized and structured, such as the networks of emigrants established abroad and organized in community associations. It is from this socio-economic context of the village communities of Kabylia, characterized by the embedding of practices of solidarity financing in the socio-cultural values and the self-organization of the villages that we posed the problematic of their operation and the interest of their institutionalization in organizations of social and solidarity economy in general and solidarity finance in particular like the community banks and inter-village cooperatives at the scale of the Wilaya. In other words, we have raised the issue of the professionalization and institutionalization of village banks as a factor likely to strengthen their sustainability and effectiveness in the financing and management of the collective goods of Kabyle villages

Full textThe Miocene igneous activity in Lesser Kabylia includes a ~130 km-long EW-trending lineament that extends along the eastern Algerian margin from Kabylie de Collo to Ouest-Edough-Cap de Fer area. It includes mostly medium-K to High-K calc-alkaline plutonic and volcanic rocks. In the studied area, these magmatic rocks crosscut and/or overlie the inner zones of the Maghrebides represented by basement and Kabylian cretaceous and Numidian flyschs nappes. New U-Pb dating on zircons and K-Ar ages on whole rocks and separated minerals document a 17 Ma onset for the post-collisional K-rich calc-alkaline magmatism. These Upper Burdigalian ages obtained on the Bougaroun pluton are the oldest presently identified for Krich calc-alkaline rocks in the whole 1200 km-long EW trending magmatic belt located along the Mediterranean coast of Maghreb. However, according to new K-Ar ages, magmatic activity started in Ouest Edough zone at ~16 then persisted intermittently in the two studied areas at ~15.5 Ma, 14-13 Ma and stopped at ~11 Ma, with the emplacement of mafic and felsic dykes in Kabylie de Collo. In addition, we measured older (Upper Oligocene) Ar-Ar hornblende ages of 27.0 ± 3.0 Ma and 23.3 ± 3.2 Ma on LREE-depleted gabbros outcropping at Cap Bougaroun sensu stricto.

Full textOne fundamental question has guided the approach adopted in this thesis: how did the referent relating to Kabyle identity become an important and relevant analytical factor in contemporary Algerian political history and radical, pro-independence nationalism? The Kabyle referent relates here to divisions and conflictual aspects that brought fractures and suspicion within the PPNMTLD party and then the FLN/ALN. These “ingredients”, which are part of political struggle, look place in the specific socio-historical and sociogeographical context of Algerian nationalism after 1945 in Algeria -especially in Kabylia - and also in France. The end of World War Two favoured the emergence of new organisational forms within the PPA. A new generation came through carrying fresh questions concerning how the party functioned, the plan for an uprising but also the definition of the Algerian nation. These important considerations contained questions that divided the party politically and which were then transformed into antagonism based on “identity” due to the polemical appropriation and political manipulation of classificatory categories such as language, ethnicity, region, nation: the 'Berber crisis'. The period of the Algerian war of independence showed how Kabylia became a pivotal region in the liberation struggle and enabled its leaders to play key rates at the head of the FLN / ALN and to be perceived as “hegemonic” in how the war was run, thereby exasperating the anti-Kabyle feeling amongst their rivals

Full textAlgeria is among the countries that undergo a significant risk in terms of forest fires, it loses an average of 30 000 ha of its land cover annually. This figure shows, in itself, the forest fire risk level in this country and raises a concern about the consequences of this hazard in the longer term. To identify current and future environmental issues, we decided to study the effect of fires on forest ecosystems and Algerian highlighting current trends. In this perspective, we have chosen as a case study the forests of maritime Kabylia (Algeria North) experiencing relatively high frequency of fires and a significant vulnerability for several years now. The study is to trace the evolution of the fire risk in this forest area and highlight the morphological, structural and floral changes that have occurred there over time, but also to analyze climate change and occupation space by man. This, to capture the future impact of climate change and social behavior on the evolution of the Algerian forest and attempt to outline possible scenarios to anticipate risk situations

Full textThe thesis focuses on internal tourism in Algerian society, by focusing on spatial effects. The study area is the coastal strip which extends in the western part of Kabylia, on both sides of the small town of Azzefoun. The first tourist flows to its tourism development, although we are at the beginning, the region that was long remained rural is now being sudden and intense urbanization, giving a new frame to the occupation of space, with new forms of production of the built environment. The factors causing this urbanization are multiple and they are generated especially since the area became a prime destination for tourist populations, primarily by national and emigrants for vacation stays, especially in summer. Many signs show that tourism is the main factor in the new forms of land use and production and organization of the frame, which appear today throughout this coastal region of Azeffoun.These signs of tourism in the new way of designing and occupy the space today in the coastal area of Azeffoun is spot on multiple planes. First, in the choice of installation sites: the construction of a significant number of tourism infrastructure - hotels, restaurants, tourist homes, tourist rental houses, second homes. Preference is given to the construction on large plots, easily accessible by road, not far from the seaside with splendid views, and possibly the sea -. Then, the architectural image that characterizes the region today recalls that own many tourist areas in coastal areas. New buildings are distinguished by the geometry of the facades where we see setbacks game in the volume with large windows. The use of new building materials, particularly those used for ornaments (cut stone, glass, tiles, wood, etc.). Generalization of the large terraces, balconies, loggias and tile roofs. Then again, functionally specialization of interior spaces can be seen (bar kitchen, lounge, bathroom, etc.) in residential homes. Finally, outdoor areas where buildings are typically constructed gardens, mini-playgrounds, or swimming pools. This is so for us, through this thesis, demonstrate the ability of tourism to the transformation of this coastal region of Azeffoun, mainly in terms of land use, production and organization of the built environment

Full textThis doctoral thesis focuses on the internal structure and external relations of the Berber Identity Movement in Algeria, and the transition from a cultural and linguistic claim to autonomic and political demands. The Berber militants want to approve the precedence of the existence of the Amazigh people on its territory. These indigenous peoples are present in all the countries of North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa and the Canary Islands. The Algerian Berbers are different. Indeed, the Berber mobilization, especially the Berbers of Kabylia, moved from a claim of increasing the value of their culture and language to a political protest which aspires to autonomy and selfdetermination of the Kabylia area.To achieve to an objective and epistemological explanation of the Berber specificity in Algeria, we will analyze the Amazigh’s situation in Maghreb countries. We will use a comparative approach that will help us to understand the Amazigh’s challenge in the past and the present. We opted for comparison because we assume that the human and social sciences have constructed their scientific perception of the world through paradigms and comparative branches: comparative politics, comparative law, comparative sociology, etc. We also believe it’s important to compare to understand political and social realities. This idea, initiated by Emile Durkheim, has made comparison one of the indispensable mechanisms of humanities and social sciences.The studies on minorities and indigenous people’s rights are more present in the humanities and social sciences, with more multidisciplinary. We mean that the study of each minority or indigenous group requires a complementary fusion of all the humanities and social sciences fields, for a better comprehension of the individual and collective human realities.Our political-legal analysis, which requires a multidisciplinary treatment, includes historical insights, as well as economic, geographical, ethnological, sociological and anthropological notions, which are necessary for a better understanding of the Algerian and Berber identity question

It is in the context of a debate on the cultural industries and their influences, as well as on the process of reconfiguration of traditional local identities and cultures in contact with the modern world stands for integration or not the world order. Between tradition and modernity, the meeting between the cultural industry and the so-called local cultures we often return to the dimension of global / local raised or imposed by globalization. This and beyond its hegemonic aspects involved in the emergence of a cultural and identity symbol of the hybridization process combinison between modern and non-modern based on dichotomies fascination / repulsion, loans / discharge integration / élimiation that deployed in ever precarious resolution arrangements. Transnational media streams appear likely as a major factor in the interior of the process where the question and understand if such dipositifs produce "cultural homogenization" or permetent conversely, «d 'enrich» cultures and local identities «external input»?

Full textThe central problems of my thesis consist of the anthropological study of the Berber theatre of Kabylian expression through the “adaptations” of Mohia. It devotes the explicit conditions which allowed the emergence of the work of the author and what characterizes it : interculturality, orality, contemporaneity. Underlining the emancipatory and reforming fact theatre of Mohia with regard to the traditional kinds, our approach evolves to an analysis of the facts anthropological, sociological and ethnographic of theritual one. She proposes an interdisciplinary scientific method of the syncretic phenomena. Initially, she studies the Kabylian ritual in her syncretic forms, and restores the original fragments which justify the “laic” dimension of the modern theatrical show. In the second time, it reconstitutes by the fact of the revolts of the populations autochtones, only visible fact of the Kabylian social history (often in opposition between the writings of the foreign military chiefs and the collective memory), of the ethno-dramatic scenes. The principle is to be able to look in the ethno-scene a logic in the evolution of the Kabylian social history. The characteristics which rise from the ethno scene joins again with the work of Mohia, analyzes his report with Kabylian sociology, its cultural anchoring, its presence in the Kabylian theatrical assembly and her contribution in the reform of “Kabylian suitability” through the actors known as “frontier runners of word”. All the process of this research is subordinated to discussions, with anthropologists of ground, to which my contribution contributes of one effective participation to the social life, militant and artistic of the Kabylian world

Full textThe Babors are a mountain range located in eastern Kabylia in northeastern Algeria. Two languages are spoken there, Djidjelli Arabic and Tasahlit. Tasahlit is an Amazigh language, the oldest language family known in western North Africa. Djidjelli is a variety of Arabic that emerged as a result of the first wave of Arab-Muslim conquests in North Africa (7th-9th centuries). This thesis explores the history of contacts between these languages from the Islamic Golden Age to the present day. It describes linguistic features inherited from contact and aligning them with current knowledge of language contact typology with the aim of establishing historical sociolinguistic scenarios. At the micro-local level, this research takes into account both the geographical factor and the various historical strata, relying on data from five varieties collected in the field. It describes the current sociolinguistic situation, especially the various levels of bilingualism, in order to reconstruct the historical power relations between communities and their languages. One of the points of interest in this study is the types of contact involved between genetically related and typologically close languages (Aikhenvald 2007, Hickey 2007).The results of this research have allowed us to distinguish different strata, periods and types of contact in the Babors. Historical data suggest that the spread of Arabic is linked to the history of the Amazigh dynasty of the Koutamas, particularly to the return of Arabized Koutamas armies to eastern Kabylia. A gradual change of language from Amazigh to Arabic, marked by long periods of bilingualism, led to the spread of numerous transfers from substratic Amazigh to Djidjellii Arabic. Tasahlit, on the other hand, has the status of a language maintained after extensive and unequal contact with Arabic, the language of prestige and conveyance. Depending on the language studied, we observed variations in the types of transfers from Arabic. These variations are correlated with differences in economic and politico-military relations with neighboring Arabic-speaking groups. It has not always been possible to assert the directionality of the contact phenomena described, some of which fall within the framework of linguistic convergence

Full textThis dissertation aims to take stock of the work of Marie-Louise Taos Amrouche (1913-1976), in its capacity to speak out, engage politically, and write multiple identities. Acontextualized and historicized socio-cultural analysis is favored in order to bring out newaspects in conjunction with other research on women’s voices in writing. I hope to show howthe development of Amrouche’s career, how she began writing and her arrival into the Frenchliterary scene, is crossed by obstacles tied to constraints related to her origin and her gender.An intersectional approach allows us in particular to (re)think different types of dominationsuch as race and gender discrimination, according to themes of plural identities, withoutinternal hierarchies, and to take an up-to-date approach to mechanisms of oppression and thewriting subject’s capacity for strategies of resistance.Pioneer of writing on sensitive subjects of her time, Amrouche is not only a writer but also asinger of traditional Berber music. I intend to show the interrelatedness of song and writingand their mutual translating of the same call to find an agreement between the “indigenous”woman’s need to speak out from under colonization, the search for Berber origins and the roleplayed by Christian and French heritage. I thus shed light on the way in which Amrouchebecomes a hybrid subject resulting from the many identities created out of colonial andpostcolonial History: she refuses to choose between multiple identities, not wanting to sell offone in exchange for another. The search for an im/possible agreement thus emerges as thepreferred metaphor characterizing her struggles and her writing

Full textThis thesis presents a sociology of the construction of a Utopia in a berbérophone province of Algeria, Bejai'a. The case study in question concerns the revalorisation of a local and national patrimony, undertaken by a group of mathematicians (GEHIMAB, Groupe d'Études sur l'Histoire des Mathématiques à Bejaia au Moyen Age). The analysis attempts to account for the consecration of the group that originated this enterprise, via an understanding of the trajectories of the actors. It locates the project in the objects upon which it works, the personalities in which it is invested, and the strategies which it follows. The approach adopted is sociological, but several disciplines contribute to the argument. The first part of the thesis presents the theoretical approach and sociological method employed. The second presents a sociology of the actors in question. The third part deals with the discovery of a manuscript library and the uses to which it, and its contents, are put, demonstrating both the status of written knowledge and lettered learning, and the symbiosis that existed between the written and the oral.
