On roots and uprooting. The themes of roots and uprooting have a long history in the political discourse on cultures and nations. The metaphor of the roots that tie people to places in a «national» or even nationalistic «metaphysics» contributes to «pathologizing» situations of exile, migration and movement as «uprootings» and situations of moral rupture. Bourdieu's and Sayad's appropriation of the figures of roots and uprooting, previously used in conservative discourse, enables them to sketch the portrait of a culturally unified Kabylia such as it was before the war. The conduct of the field study in exceptional conditions of wartime is accompanied by a disvaluing of the notion of «pure» Kabyle culture, which is made into and restricted to an object of «structural nostalgia» - a modern form of social memory widely shared by Bourdieu and his informants. After colonization, the Kabyle house thus became a sort of testimonial to a bygone feature of cultural identity even to the extent of fuelling nostalgia for «a time before time» in the Berber cultural movement. notion of «pure» Kabyle culture, which is made into and restricted to an object of «structural nostalgia» - a modern form of social memory widely shared by Bourdieu and his informants.
