GENDER AND COMMUNITY IN THE ORAL AND IN THE WRITTEN
Résumé
The central question addressed in this paper is how categories of gender and community affect each other (1). This question is looked at in one of the preferred fields for intellectual constructions and interpretations, that of literary narratives. The relationship between gender and community is examined in a corpus of Kabyle oral narratives and in novels written in French by women writers from Kabylia (Algeria). These genres are heterogeneous in mode of production (oral, written) and language (Kabyle, French), but they can be included in what the author calls a 'Kabyle literary space', which permits a recognition of the interactions and intersections of materials that cannot be understood, interpreted, or even enjoyed were they to belong to two discrete systems.
