I am particularly interested in what I want to call Contemporary Algerian Literature (Francophone and Arabic literature), post-postcolonialism, and globalization. My research also pays close attention to the new forms of writing in Algerian literature, as well as literary analyses beyond the Post-colonial and Francophone qualificatifs.

My thesis investigates the contemporary Algerian literature in the aftermath of the black decade.  It focuses on the mouvance of the Algerian narrative towards new literary visions and seeks to go beyond postcolonial representations of the Algerian novel. in other words, this work focuses specifically on the dynamics of globalisation theory in Algerian contemporary literature, and the impact of globalisation theory on the representation of the past.
