« Littérature mineure » et symbolique de l’affirmation dans un roman d’expression amazighe, « Ass-nni » de Amar Mezdad

“Minor literature” and symbolism of affirmation in an Amazigh novel, “Ass-nni” by Amar Mezdad

Abstract

The This article explores the scriptural manifestations of the symbolic relationship of Amazigh literature with “minor literature” through a novel by Amar Mezdad. It questions the way in which the figure of the minor is expressed in relation to the major, or the dominant, and the quest for self-affirmation in different dichotomies. The study tends to show that implicitly, through symbolic representations, involving language, the feminine condition and the symbolism of first names, we can read the condition of literature of Amazigh expression which refuses the qualifier "minor".
