    Intellectuals and Revolution : A Critical Study of Frantz Fanon’s A Dying Colonialism (1959)
    (Université Mouloud Mammeri Tizi Ouzou, 2025) Tahenni Dassine; Hamadache Inas
    This dissertation explores the role of intellectuals in anti-colonial resistance through a critical reading of Frantz Fanon’s A Dying Colonialism in the light of Antonio Gramsci’s theory of cultural hegemony and organic intellectuals, engaging with key concepts such as counter-hegemony, ideological and symbolic reconfigurations, postcolonial theory, and Marxist thought. By analyzing how Fanon portrays the Algerian War of Independence as a space of both political and cultural transformation, this study highlights how revolutionary change emerges not only through violence but also through symbolic reconfigurations. Drawing on Gramsci’s concepts, the dissertation examines how intellectuals whether doctors, women, or community actors serve as catalysts for collective consciousness and cultural resistance. The study argues that Fanon’s revolutionary vision aligns with Gramsci’s framework, demonstrating that decolonization requires the dismantling of colonial ideologies and the construction of new, libratory identities through active intellectual engagement. Ultimately, this work reveals how culture becomes both a site and a weapon of resistance
