A Transitioning from Patriotism to Cultural Loyalty Investigating Algerians’ Group Dichotomy on Facebook الانتقال من الوطنية إلى الولاء الثقافي دراسة انقسام المجموعات الجزائرية على فيسبوك
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article explores how Algerians shifted their sense of patriotism from the state to their Culture to assert their cultural identity. It examines the psychological and sociological patterns of group division that breed animosity between citizens, drawing on theories from Anderson and Bader. To conduct this research, we analyzed comments made by young adults on Facebook posts about the inauguration of Shashonq 1st's statue in Tizi-Ouzou in January 2021 and Chaouali's comments on Algerians' Arabness in the Arab Cup in Qatar 2021. This analysis highlighted the number of self-identified cultural groups and the reasons for the cultural dichotomy in Algeria.
