The Anthropology of Female Writing in the Contemporary Algerian Novel: Nours Pasha by Hajar Kouidri as a Case Study

Abstract

This study seeks to highlight the specificity of female writing in the novel "Nours Pasha" –as a feminine cultural narrative filled with symbolic energy- in undermining male dominance according to the symbolic interpretive anthropological approach. 
The latter considers the novelistic discourse a cultural text containing a complex system of symbols that qualifies it for an anthropological approach according to a cycle which starts from the symbols that establish the internal system of the text to  the external textual system, passing through the various levels of the formation of the literary text. This aims to determine the anthropological position of the female ego through its narrative imagination on the one hand, and to show how the female was  able, through her narrative imagination, to dismantle the symbolic system that forms the dominant male culture on the other hand.
