Algerian Cinema And Religious Discourse: Representation Of Sufism And Popular Rituals Between Memory And Modernity”
Main Article Content
Abstract
The themes of Algerian cinema have diversified and multiplied from its inception to the present day, addressing various aspects of daily life in Algerian society. What is particularly interesting in our study is the theme of religious discourse in Algerian films, represented primarily by the themes of Sufism and religious rituals prevalent in Algeria. Filmmakers have dealt with this theme in many of their works, as it is part of the beliefs of the Algerian people, inherited from French colonialism, following processes of ignorance and erasure of Arab-Islamic identity.
