Alžirski rat za nezavisnost (1954. – 1962.) bio je jedan u nizu dekolonizacijskih ratova koji su zahvatili afrički i azijski kontinent u 20. stoljeću. Nakon poraza francuskih kolonijalnih snaga u ...Indokini pokrenut je oružani ustanak protiv francuskih vlasti i u Alžiru. Fronta nacionalnog oslobođenja (FLN) bila je glavna politička snaga koja je vodila oružanu i političku borbu s ciljem potpunoga osamostaljenja od Francuske. Rad nastoji prikazati uzroke i tijek Alžirskoga rata za nezavisnost koji je izazvao krizu u francuskome političkom životu, odnosno dati pregled najvažnijih političkih zbivanja koja su dovela do proglašenja Alžirske Republike 1962. godine.
In this text, the author discusses the complex relations between the writing
of history and literature, the challenge of which becomes especially pressing
within so-called post-structural theoretical ...accounts. What is at issue is that
the twentieth century recorded a move toward the postmodern, which, no longer
“imprisoned” by history, problematizes the relation between events from
the past and historical facts as products. Yet this does not mean that we are
left with a nihilistic stance rendering the writing of history impossible or that
logical conclusions and archival research are rejected, rather it emphasizes the
variegation of social space, which is no longer comprehended as containing
one history, one theory or one narrative text. Thus history is viewed as a kind
of literary account. Moreover, it is observed that literature is less misleading
because it implies its own rhetorical status. Such a redefinition of epistemological
perspectives opens the possibility of destabilizing monolithic historical
perspectives, especially in the struggles for decolonization, which includes the
wider processes of revising gendered language, self and cultural community,
but also the problematization of gender, or the status of women in history. In
this case, the author emphasizes that time can only be presented if it is ascribed
some characteristics of space. Thus, instead of privileging time and history, an
emphasis is placed on geographic and spatial imagination.
