L’organisation sociale d’un village kabyle en mutation : pour quelles approches anthropologiques ?

Abstract

Our proposal questions the new anthropological approaches that are likely to capture today the forms of social organization of a permanently changing Kabyle village. More than a century of anthropological studies on the village world in Kabylia, the methods multiply and reproduce between the approaches inherited from Western anthropology (colonial and professional) and those indigenous. Indeed, the complex nature of the social structures of the Kabyle village, both in the past and in the contemporary era, has exposed new perspectives and new anthropological paradigms.The interest of our reflection is to try, starting from the practical examples of some villages of Kabylie of today, to place in an anthropological perspective the dynamic dimension of their social organization.
