Abstract

Ahmed Youssef tackles the concept of ‘throne text’, which takes into account all quotes and semiotic attributions enclosing any narrative work. He evokes the experience of Algerian novelist Waciny Laredj, particularly in his Al-Amir. He concludes that his ‘throne text’ pivots on two major trends: one is poetic, the second is narrative. He finally comes to conclude that Laredj’s writings are imbued with ideology, which makes them not only creative examples enriching the novels’ polyphonic dimension, but also wide spaces for various critical views that recall Bakhtine’s dialogism.
