Abstracts

Village assemblies in contemporary Kabylia. Traditionalism from an excess of modernity or modernism from an excess of tradition? -- The minutes of village assemblies in contemporary Kabylia are used to distinguish "municipal" activities referring to a "traditional" organization and culture from those having to do with social and political developments dating since the colonial era. J. Favret has argued that the "reactivation" of traditional institutions in independent Algeria is a sign of a traditionalism out of an excess of modernity. Contrary to this thesis, this article shows that the perpetuation of village assemblies is a dynamic phenomenon to be seen in terms of this institution's development, its resources and its capacity for metabolizing social and political changes.
