Analysis of Conjunctive Cohesion Errors in Students’ Compositions: The Case of the Department of English at Tizi-Ouzou University
(Mouloud MAMMERI University of Tizi-Ouzou, 2010) YACINE Djamal
Cohesion in writing is widely explored by different researchers. However, to date, cohesive errors in writing, according to our knowledge, have not been investigated thoroughly. Hence, this study is an attempt to analyse conjunctive cohesion errors in students’ compositions. It seeks mainly to analyse one hundred expository essays written by third year students of the Department of English at the University of Tizi-Ouzou during the academic year 2007/2008. In analyzing these essays, we aim mainly to identify conjunctive cohesion errors that these students have made in their compositions and the impact of these errors on the coherence of their essays. To achieve these goals, particular reference is made to Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) classification of conjunctive cohesion and to error analysis procedures. To identify these errors, students’ essays were segmented into orthographic sentences. Then, they were analyzed. The results of the present study showed that these students have made 135 conjunctive cohesion errors in their compositions. These errors are classified into four major categories. The first category comprises errors deriving from the misuse of conjunctive connectors. This one is divided into four minor categories and twelve sub-categories. The second major type includes errors resulting from the superfluous use of connectors; the use of connectors when they are not required. The third category deals with conjunctive cohesion errors deriving from the omission of connectors when they are needed. The last major category deals with the overuse of connectors. In addition, this study revealed that these errors have an impact on the coherence of the analysed essays. Therefore, according to these results, students of the Department of English at the University of Tizi-Ouzou need an explicit teaching and learning of the use of connectors appropriately.
The Visions of Africa and Africans in Timothy Holmes’ David Livingstone Letters and Documents 1841-1872 And Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness
(Université Mouloud Mammeri Tizi-Ouzou, 2015) BOUCHOUARE Zahia
The study of David Livingstone Letters and Documents 1841-1872 and Joseph Conrad‘s Heart of Darkness has led to the following results. Livingstone carried the govemment afar the impérial idea while Conrad evaluated its implémentation. Livingstone’s idea or vision of Africa was looked at from three main perspectives, geographical, spiritual and anthropological. Similarly, w lead Conrad’s from the same perspectives. The linkages that we established between the two writers in relation to their view of Africa were not of the order of similarities but also of différences. These différences of ideology were explained in terms of the gap between theory and practice. What Livingstone called “mission civilizatrice” that aimed at bringing light of Christianity and civilisation to Africans is regarded as Eldorado Exploring Expédition by Joseph Conrad carrying buccaneer motives. These expédition leaders were products of the nineteenth century Europe when science and material dominated religion and moral values. Conrad managed to give the reader the resuit and implémentation of ideas and théories launched and developed by nineteenth century famous persons like David Livingstone. The Myth of the Dark Continent is one of the important issues that led to colonialism. Geographically speaking, the African continent was viewed, respecting the myth, as a “Dark” one which needed light spatially and spiritually. In other words, Africa needed a European intervention to clear up the territories and build up stations in order to establish order in the continent and its inhabitants. The latter was described as “children” and “savages” that required to European patemalism and conversion into Christianity to elevate their status. This is not the case with Conrad. Indeed, for him, penetrating the African continent and going up the Congo River was like “travelling back to the earliest beginnings of the world” (Conrad, 1990:183). It is inhabitedby “créatures” still walking “ail four” and also by cannibals that were capable of restreint despite days of hunger facing the white man’s endless appetite to get and possess more. Despite his ambiguous position to colonialism, Conrad wanted to say that any European intervention or colonialism is done by “robbery and violence”. The colonisation launched in Africa by David Livingstone came to disastrous results not only on the colonised but on the coloniser as well. It is a way to say that colonisation is economically bénéficiai but morally destructive.

The Representation of Jews and Muslims in Hollywood Movies: A Comparative Study of Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List (1993) and Edward Zwick’s The Siege (1998).
(Université Mouloud Mammeri Tizi-Ouzou, 2014) MEZIANI Mourad
The present dissertation is concerned with the analysis of the American representation of the Jews and Muslims respectively in Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List (1993), and Edward Zwick’s The Siege. The study focuses on Hollywood recollection of the memory of the Holocaust, and its formulation of the Muslims as ‘terrorists’. It also examines Hollywood role in shaping the American public consciousness around global major issues such as genocide and terrorism. Hollywood contends its engagement with the political sphere through its representation of the Jews as America’s ‘victimized others’ and its portrayal of the Muslims as America’s ‘demonized others’. I have argued that both the ‘victimization’ of the Jews and the ‘demonization’ of the Muslims serve America’s ongoing process of Americanization of the world. I define Americanization as America’s will, through the appropriation of the Holocaust and terror, to project its fundamental values and expand its cultural, political and ideological influence worldwide. In other words, Americanization considers America as an omnipresent possibility which, through its assimilation of universal values as its own, aims at integrating the world into the American way of life. Furthermore, it implies America’s moral, political and ideological responsibility (commitment) towards the defense and promotion of its founding ideals as part of its universal mission as articulated in its Manifest Destiny. The latter, represents the core of the American mythological identity and character which finds its perfect expression in America's unconditional support of Israel, and its blatant involvement with Arab-Muslim world. Israel represents an ideal view of America as a promoter of justice, whereas the Muslims as the consecration of America as proponent of freedom, promoter of democracy and peace.
Queen Elizabeth I in Selected Movies: A Barthesian- Historicist Approach to Modern British Myth
(Université Mouloud Mammeri Tizi-Ouzou, 2015) TERKI Nassima
The present research paper is entitled Queen Elizabeth I in Selected Movies: a Barthesian-Historicist Approach to Modern British Myth. It highlights the way Queen Elizabeth I’s biography has been adapted and updated by filmmakers since the end of World War II. To look at the representation of this Tudor Monarch, I throw light on selected snapshots taken from four selected biographical films: The Virgin Queen (1955), Mary, Queen of Scots (1971), Elizabeth (1998) and Elizabeth: the Golden Age (2007) with the use of Roland Barthes theoretical framework developed in Mythologies (1972), Image- Music-Text (1977) and Elements of Semiology (1986).The analysis of selected snapshots in the films shows that this Tudor Queen is depicted as a heterogeneous character. She is associated with very different political social and cultural values. The different representations are drawn to adapt her image to the circumstances of the film’s production
and release. Finally, her image is used to help the nation readjust itself to face the different the challenges of post-Empire Britain.
