Vol. 1 No. 01 (2024): Djamel Allam : une œuvre plurielle à interroger

The plural work of Djamel Allam was examined, on September 12 and 13, 2023, by researchers and teacher-researchers from several university and research establishments in the country to highlight the capacity of sung poetry to say and to be said. The Center for Research in Amazigh Language and Culture made it possible, in the first national conference of its kind, to place at the center of reflection the work of Djamel Allam in its aesthetic-artistic dimension, but also poetic, to understand the effort of creation and grasp the depth and interstices of the text. Between what we can listen to or what we can read, research has this ability to give body and meaning to what is not always palpable and perceptible. This led, for example, to invoke the theory of polyphony to identify the implicit and the voices that carry it in songs, explore their universal dimension, focus on their linguistic characteristics in the light of sociolinguistics, and humorous, satirical, ironic and derision expressions, propose songs for school programs and engage in a poetic reading of the narrative songs of Djamel Allam. We also did not fail to take a closer look at the multilingual particularity of the work and the traditional Kabyle soul which inhabits and animates it. Several levels of analysis are engaged around a multidimensional work which draws from the crucible of literature.
