The Desert From the Margin to the center in the Contemporary Algerian Novel, Timimoun's Novel as a Model

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the developments in narrative discourse, emphasizing its flexibility and ability to evolve through the new questions it raises. It focuses on the movement of the desert from the periphery to the center, following a period when the city, with its contradictions and bourgeois character, dominated the global and Arab literary scenes. Algerian literature today has made a significant shift, breaking free from conventional writing forms and striving to align form with content. It has succeeded in presenting the desert in a new light, surpassing the stereotypical portrayal it once received in classical literary traditions. Timimoun is one of the novels that uses the desert not merely as a static, spatial setting but as a vibrant cultural, civilizational, and human heritage worthy of attention. The desert is positioned as a central theme, not only in the narrative but also in the real-life quest of the Algerian individual for salvation and self-affirmation, after struggling with disorientation and experiencing the pain of loss in a city that left him feeling empty, lost, and fragmented.
