Contents Introduction : What are "performance encounters"? -- 1. Football games and national symbols : reconfiguration of the French-Algerian border through philosophy and popular culture -- 2. Beyond hybrid identities : endless negotiations of names, religious symbols, and national identities in Assia Djebar's fiction -- 3. Linguistic encounters : Maghrebi "langualization" in francophone fiction -- 4. Encounters between historiographies : from binational archives to the art of telling "mixed memories" -- 5. Ghostly encounters : on forbidden processions and on listening to the dead -- 6. Encounters and acrobats -- Conclusion : words in passing : from Abd-el-Kebir's Smala to the reading of Atlal
Summary Looking at writers, directors, and thinkers who are linked to the Maghreb, Mireille Rosello argues that new types of encounters between the French and the Algerians have the potential to counteract the negative force of history
