الشعر الشعبي الجزائري بعد الاستقلال (عوائق وآفاق الدراسة)

Résumé

After independence, Algerian folk literature was not spared the political and ideological conflicts that plagued the country. These attempts to impose control over culturally charged literary production, which could be used to delve into individuals and groups in order to dominate them, were carried out by the ruling establishment or by the elite controlling the country at the time. Folk literature did not receive much study, especially given the authorities' prohibition of historical research and their rejection of certain disciplines, such as anthropology and sociology, which could reveal the people's mentality, history, and all their daily practices, including the arts of literary expression. This led to folk literature, and particularly folk poetry—considered the most capable of expression, due to its music and rhythm, which facilitate its memorization—remaining on the shelves or on the tongues of individuals and groups, without serious study according to modern methods that would allow us to delve into it, except for a limited amount compared to the last three decades. This is what I have attempted to clarify in this research.
