The Poetics of Narrative and the Problematic of Reader Reception In the Contemporary Amazigh Novel

Amazigh Novel represents a relatively recent literary phenomenon within the Maghrebi cultural landscape. Its emergence came later than that of other genres such as poetry and the short story, largely due to linguistic, cultural, and historical factors—most notably the marginalization of the Amazigh language and its exclusion from formal education and institutional knowledge production. In recent decades, however, Amazigh novels have increasingly appeared as powerful expressions of collective memory, cultural identity, and the lived experience of Amazigh communities. This study seeks to explore the poetics of narrative in contemporary Amazigh fiction by analyzing the aesthetic and stylistic structures that define its literary specificity, while also examining the dynamics of reader reception as a space where creative experience intersects with cultural consciousness. The research further investigates how meaning is constructed and how narrative imagery evolves within the framework of reception theory, thereby offering a critical reading that situates Amazigh fiction within the broader Arab-Maghrebi literary field.
