Theoretical position

The sciences of literary texts is the title of the specialty of the students who have carried out their studies in the framework of the Algerian-French doctoral school: we have had different paths from each other. The vicissitudes of history have projected each of us on scientific, epistemological, theoretical and methodological choices in which each of us is involved. But the choices are ultimately determined by dogmatisms linked to theory: we have never had frank and productive debates on the options of each of us. Certainly, we lack experience, the productions are rare, the journals are managed by groups of teachers saturated by pedagogical and administrative activities at the expense of editorial work. The socio-historical conditions of university staff, like those of all employees and of all the middle classes, are extremely difficult. The high administration cannot regulate the deep crisis in which the Algerian subject (the thinking being of fact) is struggling.
