    (university of Oum El Bouaghi, 2016) Frik, Khitem; Aaid, Salah-Eddine
    African-American literature has emerged amazingly in the last few decades. It is the body of literature produced by American writers of African descent. Self writing has been the salvation for writers to present their problems. This dissertation examined the existence of the Intricate Eternal Pride of African Americans in the comparative study between the autobiographies of Du Bois in The Souls of Black Folk, and the Autobiography ofMalcolm X by Alex Haley. This work is chosen to investigate and apply the existence of the theories of the ''veil'' and ''double consciousness''. African-American in their self writing did not face the oppressor but they create methods such as education and separatismto create their entity. This study used these theories as methods to analyze or argue that there are measurable changes and a noticeable shift in the social and psychological attitudes of the black from (19th to 20th century). The aim behind this study is to explore the solution in black writing that they project for an interracial society that would finally overcome the persistent legacy of African-Americans. The major question raised in this work was as the following: why did black become an object of intensified racial oppression? What does the race of time have to do with the time of race? Would it be conceivable for someone to see as black everything that we see as white and vice versa? Also the study argued that Islam has provided the solution for these many identities of African-American community thrive to their self determination without the corporation of the other races.

Drawing on the theoretical insights of Hawkes, Erll and Assman, the study aims to show how Khedra recalibrates cultural memory to shed light on the untold stories regarding the impact of the Algerian revolution on Les Pieds-Noirs and the native Algerians.

    (university of Oum El Bouaghi, 2016) Chelouache, Loubna; Aaid, Salah-Eddine
    This work investigates the traces of feminism in the scarlet letter. First, it explains the social and historical background of this novel that is framed by the Puritan history and its social patriarchal principles. As a Puritan and Romantic writer, Nathaniel Hawthorne depicts, first, the Puritan women, called in this research "good women". Second, he moves to another type, "Hester Woman", named after Hester, the heroine of the novel. His work criticizes implicitly the Puritan society and its treatment of women. Though, Hester is a 17th century character, she displays a rich catalogue for the Feminists allowing us to apply most of the Feminist theory.
