Document Summary
Hist 465 week 22 march 13, 2017. Independent women: gender in the algerian war of independence. Masculine roles: civilized men who dominated in their homes, seen as more feminine than western men; not very powerful, yet seen as dangerous, violent, sexual at the same time, which is contradictory. What elements make this a de-colonial struggle rather than a revolution: revolution a divide within the nation; de-colonization is fighting for independence in a colonized nation, against the colonizer. 1966: commissioned by the algerian government, the film was a caution against war and further violence. Group activity comparing masculinity/femininity represented in the film compared to the readings: european masculinity, militant masculinity in film; anti-arab sentiment; nationalist; not diverse, european femininity. Independent, modern; freedom: arab masculinity, diverse representation in the film; fln hyper-violent but the film seems to criticize this violence, arab femininity, film doesn"t show how the women were punished for being involved in the.
