and comparative literature studies in Algeria through his scholarship and institutional initiatives.
It employs a descriptive-analytical approach to examine his major works, research projects, and the academic structures he helped establish.
The core questions focus on the nature of his distinction and the extent of his influence in introducing myth, mythocriticism, and paraliterature into Algerian university research.
It also interrogates the specific features of his methodological orientation, especially his shift between historical, thematic, and mythocritical approaches.
