    Decentering western postmodernism
    (university of Oum-El-Bouaghi, 2015) Annab, Fadwa; Achiri, Samya
    Arabic literature has emerged amazingly in the last few decades. It has crossed the lines of traditional representations. However, it is still detached from the universal literary movements. More recently, arabic works have been excluded from postmodernism as a movement despite that the latter has agitated every part of this world. This dissertation examines the existence of postmodernist entities in the work of the algerian writer Ahlam Mosteghanemi Nessyane.com [Forgetting.com] (2009). This work is consciously chosen because it seems to celebrate the same western postmodernist literary techniques. The major objective behind this study is to investigate the existence of an arabic postmodernist literature. It also aims to prove that Arabic Literature is able to create delightful works which carry excellence at both levels: the local and the universal. After unveiling the outstanding properties of contemporary Arabic literature, the major target would be to provoke the desire for more researches about Arabic literature. In order to accomplish the previously listed points, this dissertation will be divided into three chapters. The first one is a theoretical base about postmodernism in general, including the Arabic one. The second one explores the literary postmodernist techniques in Nessyane.com. The final part will throw light on the relationship between politics and literature in the late Arabic literature in an attempt to denote the results of such tight relevance. In the final analysis, this dissertation comes to develop a notion that the politically motivational concepts which surround the Arabic literature have eventually pushed the Arabic individual to appeal revolution and insurgency.

    The Nation of Islam and Elijah's message to the blackman in America
    (university of Oum-El-Bouaghi, 2015) Annab, Fadwa; Filali, Bilel
    This dissertation presents a comparison between the nation of Islam as an organization and the basic standards of Islam as religion. This comparison stands at the level of ideologies and principles. In order to achieve that, it examines the different views of the Nation of Islam through one particular book of Elijah Muhammad that is Message to the Blackman in America (1965). This dissertation aimed at knowing the difference between this organization and the well-known principles of Islam. Many scholars argue that the ideologies of this organization are not compatible with the conventional frame of Islam as a religion. In other words, elijah, the leader used a this organization as a cover for his personal interests. Hence, this dissertation attempts to investigate this particular point. More, it aimes at erasing the opaque questions which surround this topic. There is however a particular focus on the ideas of Elijah considering that he calls for certain issues which profoundly differ from the ones of the traditional Islam. The final analysis comes to prove that in spite of the wide influence of this organization and Elijah, it cannot be considered as a reliable reference to the traditional Islam.
