Women resisting terror
This article charts the roles and representations of Algerian Women as both agents and victims of violence in the War of Independence (1956–1962) and the Algerian Civil War of the 1990s in which the role of women emerged as a significant site of ideological, religious, and political struggle. This vision of Algerian Women, caught between models of participation and passivity, can be located within a long imaginary of Algerian women as exposed to …
Politics and the Police
The police massacre, in the center of Paris, of hundreds of protesting Algerians on the 17th of October 1961 has become one of the most recognized events of the Algerian War. Amid a wealth of historical and fictional works that treat the event, Jacques Panijel's Octobre à Paris has received comparatively little attention, perhaps due to the fact that it was immediately censored in 1962, denied a visa d'exploitation in 1973, and finally released i…
Terrorism and visibility in Algeria’s ‘black decade’
This article addresses the audio-visual representation of the victims of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism in Algeria in the 1990s, drawing on both historical and testimonial sources before examining Xavier Beauvois’s Des hommes et des dieux (2010). Based on a true story – the abduction and murder of a group of ex-colonial French monks– it offers a useful platform on which to interrogate the interactions of the representational and the political i…
Common Vulnerability
The question of community, and specifically Algerian female communities, informs a number of Assia Djebar's texts, as well as constituting an underlying concern in much criticism of her work. Yet, in many cases, such analyses do not align Djebar's communitarian representations with wider thinking on forms of community in philosophical and sociohistorical terms. An exception is found in the work of Jane Hiddleston, who fruitfully places Djebar's l…
