Burying The Past And Building A New Present

Authors : Menouer Badra .

Abstract

Assia Djebar's work explores linguistic and spiritual exile while challenging traditional notions of identity. Her complex cultural background as a Muslim raised in the Arab-Berber tradition but educated in French influences her relationship with language and creates a sense of linguistic exile. Through her writing, she embraces her state of hybridity and creative possibility, offering a unique perspective on language and cultural identity. This article provides an overview of Djebar's work, examining the complexities of her cultural identity and her preoccupation with the human condition. It highlights her challenges to traditional notions of linguistic and spiritual exile and explores how she uses her writing to construct a bridge between different cultures and languages. By examining the themes of exile, identity, and writing in Djebar's work, this article sheds light on the significance of her contribution to postcolonial literature and her place as a literary figure of global importance.
