Forms Of Citizenship In Algerian Cinema

Abstract

In this paper, we address the topic of citizenship from the perspective of cinema, which leads us to define the concept of "citizenship" which expands to many fields of knowledge, so that we can approach it cinematically, where citizenship is a moving concept that has been formed historically through interaction and conflict between the individual and the state in order to obtain civil and political rights to reach full citizenship, and we will address the anatomy of the subject of cinema, which is a form of artistic expression. This is done by placing cinema in the context of citizenship in its broadest sense. What concerns us, therefore, is the following question : What are the features of citizenship in Algerian cinema ? How did you think about the relationship between the individual, his culture, his land and his country ? To answer these questions, we must start with the following key question : Are there really manifestations of the values of citizenship in Algerian film?
