Description
Summary:Our goal in this work is to examine the process of death textualization in Assia Djebar's novel entitled Le Blanc of Algeria (1995). Thus, tracing the course in writing of the white color, we will try to clear up through this text a poetic death, which participates in the resuscitation through writing by friends of the writer, murdered during the 90’s. This poetic is also examined through the different funeral ceremonies, which seem not to be "respected" at the funeral of the three friends. These non-performed funeral rites will be treated in an ethnological perspective, allowing us to examine the correlation between these rites and the story in which they fit. All these elements allow us, finally, to identify a "Djebar's theory of literary writing" proof of the bloody period that Algerians have experienced during the black decade.
