Abstract

This article approaches the question of the practices of membership in the Constantine identity, by means of Nachra, which distinguishes itself as a therapeutic rite for the women of the big Constantine's family's, called Belidiyates, as well as a rite of passage, for those that do not possess a patronymic recognized in the register City-dwellers. Through the ritual way which we are going to propose, we can observe the cultural images, which establish the therapeutic act, and the onomastic representations which characterize the differencessteps of this process. We studied this phenomenon through an anthropological approach, and we think can considered to be an identity mirror, which reveling look on oneself, where we handled the symptoms which, reveal the ritual practice, andits spiritual, symbolicside, andevenmusical.
