- Title

- Abstract
This paper examines the importance of myth in two Francophone novels by two prominent Algerian authors, namely Kateb Yacine's Nedjma (1956) and Assia Djebar's Woman Without Sepulcher (2002). The task is to show how re-examining history from nationalist and gender perspectives became a central concern in challenging the legitimacy of the French colonial and the Algerian post-colonial authoritarian regimes. The imperative to mythologize the past, for Kateb and Djebar, will be studied under the theoretical underpinnings of Joseph Campbell's The Power of Myth (1988).
