Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Irvine, 2004.

This dissertation analyzes the different ways in which Algeria and Algerian identity are imagined in the work of four Algerian authors: Louis Bertrand, Albert Camus, Kateb Yacine and Assia Djebar. Although the struggle for Algeria was fought on multiple terrains---militarily, politically, culturally and critically---, from the late nineteenth century until independence (and even in the post-independence era) Algerian literature became the privileged site for the ongoing negotiation of cultural politics and the staging of the problematics of origins and nationalism. What I call "fictional" Algeria served as a nexus of discursive tension between dominant or "official" narratives that nurtured the French imperial imagination and counter-narratives (or anti-narratives, in Kateb's case) that sought to deconstruct the hegemonic discourses of colonialism and, later, of orthodox nationalism. By putting into dialogue critically analyzing and putting into dialogue not only the conflicting myths of the "colonizer," but the equally hybrid counter-myths of the "colonized" man and woman, my work reflects what Edward Said describes as a "contrapuntal reading" of the imperial experience as entangled and overlapping. As such, it is in line with anti-identitarian modes of thought that challenge the traditional view of colonial culture (and indeed all culture) as unitary and monolithic.
