Resumo
Poetry, politics, and ethnography have been intimately linked in Algeria's Kabyle Berber region for over a century. This article examines two entextualizations of a related Kabyle poem: one recorded by French colonel Hanoteau in 1867 and the other unearthed by Kabyle scholar and cultural activist Mammeri in 1980. By analyzing the relationship between metapragmatic discourse and metapragmatic function in each poetry collection, the article shows how Berber culture has been variously configured as an object of ethnographic knowledge.
