Mémoire, identité et imaginaires dans la littérature algérienne d’expression française | C1

Step into the captivating world of the desert through the eyes of Francophone women writers from North Africa. In this 3-seminar series, Female Voices of the Desert: A Literary and Cultural Exploration, we will journey across dunes, oases, and stories to discover how the desert inspires memory, identity, resistance, and creativity. Through literature and culture, we will explore women's experiences of the Sahara, the power of storytelling, and the rich cultural heritage of a region often reduced to myth and stereotype. Join us for a fascinating exploration of voices that bring the desert to life in all its complexity, beauty, and resilience.

This class has been the best yet that I have done at AF d’Oxford. The materials are interesting, the class is friendly and supportive, and the teacher is excellent. In particular it has allowed me to focus on pronunciation and speaking.

Mon voyage heureux à Oxford (...) c’est la journée du cours de conversation (à l'Alliance Française). Mes co-étudiants sont enthousiastes, intéressants et nous travaillons bien ensembles. Notre professeure Zoé nous encourage à nous améliorer en prononciation, expression et compréhension. Son enthousiasme est infectieux.”
