Re-voir le paradis perdu : Distorsions, amnésie, silences, et… nostalgie de Quand l’Algérie était franÇaise

Pages 45-53 | Published online: 18 Jan 2012
 

Abstract

My article analyzes a 2006 documentary titled Quand l’Algérie était française. The documentary, which aired for the very first time on French television channel M6, and is directed by Serge de Sampigny, purports to offer a totally new (hi)story of French Algeria. I argue, however, that Quand l’Algérie était française is nothing but a nostalgia for a lost paradise; an attempt to recreate a world that never existed outside the paradigm of the documentary's narrative.
