تجليات الاغتراب في رواية سيدة المقام لواسيني الأعرج

Abstract

This study examines the manifestations of alienation in their various types, as embodied in Waciny Laredj's novel ""Sayyidat al-Maqam"" (The Lady of the Maqam). The thesis aims to analyze how Laredj expresses specific types of alienation, including psychological, social, cultural, political, and religious alienation, by extracting relevant phrases and texts within the novel's intricate structure and complex characters. Employing a descriptive-analytical methodology, the study deconstructs and categorizes narrative texts into these types, seeking to uncover the underlying causes of the feelings of detachment and isolation experienced by the characters, as well as the repercussions of these feelings on their destinies and behaviors. The study concludes that the novel presents alienation not merely as an individual state, but as a multifaceted phenomenon deeply rooted in the post-independence Algerian historical and social context, thus serving as a mirror reflecting crises of identity and belongin.
