Authors : Djehiche Aissa . Boukhal Miloud .

Abstract

This research attempts to consider literary translation as a means of reconciling conflictual identities; namely Algerian and French identities. In order for that a discussion of the identity of texts and translations is provided. Conflict of identities is identified through a quick review of power relations between the colonizer and the colonized. Thoughts and views about translation as reconciliation are presented. Then, reconciliation is sought through a discussion of literary translation stressing Arabic/French translation and the phenomena of writing in French as a form of translating Algerian experience, thus setting the ground for reconciliation in the broadest sense.
