المرأة الشاوية ذاكرة الأوراس

Abstract

Our interest in studying the Chaoui woman stems from the continuity of our philosophical inclinations through the dialectic of (spirit and body), which prompted us to expand the scope of research and reflection by attempting to understand the woman in the field of urban anthropology, which combines the self/inhabitant and the urban space to which she belongs within the process of social change in the Aurès region within the duality of (the constant and the changing). We are also intrigued by the symbolism of the name of the woman in the Chaoui popular culture, “the daughter of gunpowder,” which reflects the reproduction of the Chaoui cultural perception that embodies for us the unity of the common sense of society in the Aurès region, with the aim of preserving the social order in the urban space, which does not require modifying the social structure within the field of symbolic conflicts between the dominant cultures of origin, and how the environment affects the construction of the collective imagination through the authority of the logos of the daughter of gunpowder, which works to bequeath the entire society in the Aurès region, and to establish the memory of the Chaoui habitus through the memory of her body in the urban space.
