The study aims to reveal the presence of both tangible and intangible heritage within the narrative structure, while also examining the incorporation of folk, religious, and mythical heritage into the contemporary novel. These heritage elements are artistically reconstructed in a manner that reflects and serves the concerns of society. The research is based on the descriptive-analytical approach through textual reading and symbolic analysis.otherIsmail YabrirHeritage SymbolsFolk HeritageTangible and Intangible HeritageContemporary Algerian NovelThesis
