Cultural memory stakes between representation and subversion In the novel assir ashamss by Hamid Abdel Qader

Abstract

The research examines the problem of cultural memory in the contemporary Algerian novel, to find out whether it is imagined on the act of remembering as an act of resistance to erasure and forgetting, but from a specific angle, which senses the direction of the post-colonial novel towards embracing other dimensions of memory, namely history, politics, ideology, and post-foresight and modernity trends, in order to formulate its confrontational discourse. In reviewing the colonial discourse or the discourse of modernity, other elements were absent that would have been more enriching in the analysis and criticism of the colonial discourse, including cultural memory.
