Ussnan is an international scientific journal published by the Centre for Research in Amazigh Language and Culture, situated in Béjaïa, Algeria. It provides, biannually, a publication space devoted exclusively to the Amazigh domain in all of its manifestations through a plethora of diverse specialisations and fields including: language, Tamazight didactics and metalanguage, Amazigh civilisation, literature, arts, and Amazigh heritage, terminology, translation along with automatic Amazigh language processing. Ussnan offers expertly chosen material. Tamazight is given precedence over materials written in French, Arabic, and English. Its biannual publication will have a Varia section and be open to proposals for special issues for conference proceedings or other topical publications. It will also not preclude special editions. As long as Tamazight remains at the centre of scientific interest and the proposed studies are original, unpublished, and adhere to the standards of academic writing, Ussnan gladly accepts proposals for articles from the scientific community, from seasoned or beginner researchers, from Algeria or elsewhere. Ussnan is an open access journal, entirely free to publish, with a reading committee. It evolved because of a deep-seated, passionate desire to provide Tamazight and other scholars in the field-especially PhD students—with a platform for scientific publication that would solely be beneficial to them.

Ce numéro de Ussnan traite de la thématique théâtrale, particulièrement du théâtre amazigh, et plus précisément de la transécriture/adaptation comme processus de passage d’une écriture à une autre, avec ce que ce passage suppose comme enjeux culturels, au-delà de la double notion de fidélité/infidélité. Tout un colloque a été consacré à cette thématique au Centre de recherche en langue et culture amazighes (CRLCA), tenu dans le cadre de la treizième édition du FITB (festival international de théâtre de Bejaia). La rencontre a traduit le besoin de la communauté scientifique à prolonger et approfondir la discussion autour du concept de l’adaptation et de son substitut, la transécriture, et de réfléchir davantage sur la complexité et la pertinence des concepts. Par un bouquet d’articles, qui se complètent par leurs approches distinctes et les disciplines différentes de leurs auteurs, ce numéro de Ussnan apporte des lectures croisées de choix sur la complexité de la transécriture/adaptation et sur les opportunités qu’offre ce processus pour servir l'identité amazighe.
