Folklore and Narration: A Language of Affirmation and a Space for Continuity

This study, entitled "Popular Heritage and Narrative as a Language of Affirmation and Conti-nuity," seeks to explore the presence of popular heritage in contemporary Algerian narrative dis-course through various novelistic expressions. This heritage carries different meanings that trans-form it from merely being an act tied to the past into a present cultural phenomenon through which self-identity and national identity are affirmed amid the intermingling of popular and civilizational cultures.
