Le Nez sur la vitre d’Abdelkader Djemaï Métaphore d’une enfance spoliée ou figuration d’une société algérienne tourmentée ?

Le Nez sur la vitre by Abdelkader Djemaï presents itself as the problematic itinerary of an unsatisfied childhood quest through the labyrinths of an Algerian city struggling to find its marks. Based on the sociocritical apparatus schematized by Pierre Barbéris and Henri Mitterand, the article questions the sudden disappearance of the child at a pivotal period in his life, as it reveals a deeper social malaise in which the contemporary Algerian subject is immersed.
