Item IDENTITY ISSUES AND RACIAL INTERACTION IN ALEX LA GUMA’S A WALK IN THE NIGHT (1962) AND RICHARD WRIGHT’S NATIVE SON (1940)(University of algiers2 Abu El Kacem Saad Allah جامعة الجزائر 2 أبو القاسم سعد الله, 2018) Denidni, Samira; Bensemmane, M'hamed (Directeur de thèse)Focusing on two major works, Richard Wright’s Native Son (1940) and Alex La Guma’s A Walk in the Night (1962), this dissertation aims to discuss the black/white interaction and identity issues of the non-whites, in the USA and South Africa. Following the concepts of Post-Colonial theories, and relying on Hegel’s master slave dialectic and the Fanonian theories, this study examines how otherness is enacted in the inferiority complex that the dominant power exerts on the “subaltern”, and how psychological and physical oppression and segregation of the “Other” are the factors of their identity crisis. The most interesting finding was that the frustration of subject races, in Jim Crowed America and Apartheid in South Africa, has led to their downfall. It has revealed that the consequential accumulation of stress and the need for individuality lead the subject races to act with violence.Item HEROISM, REPRESENTATION AND COMMUNAL SALVATION IN WOLE SOYINKA’S DEATH AND THE KING’S HORSEMAN, A DANCE OF THE FORESTS AND THE STRONG BREED(جامعة الجزائر 02 أبو القاسم سعد الله University of Algiers 2 Abou El Kacem Saadallah, 2016) Chergui, Khadija; Bensemmane, M'hamed (Directeur de thèse)This dissertation examines how Soyinka’s vision of the relationship between the individual and society, mainly the idea of the "visceral intertwining of an individual with the fate of the community", is developed in some of his tragic plays.Soyinka's presentation of the vision of the tragic heroic self in A Dance of the Forests, The Strong Breed, and Death and the king's Horseman, is part of his project to bring about change in society and raise people’s consciousness and awareness to issues that might be detrimental to their future well-being. Throughout our study, we demonstrated that Soyinka believes that in order to release the society from what he termed in his play A Dance of the Forests"the soul-deadening habits", the chosen heroic agent that Soyinka outlines in his plays, would act as " the force of fusion between the various contradictions" inherent in his society.Item The Fragmented Soul and Social Conventions in Ngugi’s Petals of Blood and Fitzgerald’s Tender is the Night(2016) Tlemçani, Chafia; Bensemmane, M'hamed (Directeur de thèse)This dissertation is concerned with a specific type inherent in the complexity of the individual, which is the fragmented or split personality. This issue has been treated in modern literature both in the Western world and by African postmodern writers as Modern Times gave the individual a sense of displacement engendered by extraneous forces because of the rejection, namely the violence of colonization and the legacy of war. One of the modern African works of fiction dealing with this shadowy aspect of human identity is Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s Petals of Blood. In this novel, Ngugi presents an interesting, though problematic, aspect of the characters. Likewise and though emanating from different reasons and backgrounds, the modernist American novel Tender is the Night by F.S. Fitzgerald deals with a protagonist’s psychic disintegration
