IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION THROUGH BILINGUAL AMAZIGH- DUTCH DIGITAL DISCOURSE
Résumé
Despite the precarious and marginal socio-political position of the Amazigh
languages, an explosion of hybrid – in form and content – cultural
expressions has been occurred in recent years. Now more than ever, these
languages function as a central source for constructing and reconstructing
the Amazigh group identity, a process in which literacy and electronic
media play a significant role. One of the most far-reaching and all encompassing
media is the Internet. It allows individuals and groups to create new discourses and contexts:
digital interactions. Therefore, this article examine how identity is (re)constructed in digital interactions on Amazigh
websites, and more precisely Dutch-based Amazigh websites since
they are most advanced and regularly updated. Moreover, these websites
show a high level of creativity, related to the large presence of Amazigh
people in the Netherlands who show a keen interest in the preservation and
promotion of their cultural tradition and identity.
