Les figures féminines dans Des rêves et des assassins de Malika Mokeddem

Abstract

The woman holds a special place in Algerian society. It is primarily grandmother , mother, sister and
wife ... the statutes that confer regarding rights, legitimacy , in the sense that it is possible to rub the woman saw
that the right promulgated by social or religious law. This is what was for long the relationships between men
and women, because in these conservative societies, women represent the honor of the tribe, its purity is the
guarantor and that of his family, his home. This is why it is subject to so many restrictions and confinements.
The rise of religious radicalism and fundamentalism, saw appear new forms of deprivation that relate
exclusively women. Considered a reincarnation of the devil, because of the temptations it brings , it will be
relegated to a lower than man , lord in every sense of the dark creature whose only value lies in its offspring
status. But the problem in the advent of the "new religion» is Algerian society itself, because in these 90 years,
women from Independence or born at that time took an important place in nation building. Fighter weapons
equally alongside their brothers in the bush, their status in the early years of freedom, has changed
dramatically. They are not only mothers or sisters but above all women. They invest the street, privileged rights
and working to build a democratic country where they think they have the place they deserve .The women we
will paint a picture in the following pages , meet these criteria, but some have another "advantage" , that of
being in these times of hatred facing Algeria, abroad and more particularly in France . These are women who,
for the most part, followed their husbands during the war, or who immigrated after independence in search of a
better life for themselves and their children
