French orientalism in Algeria and the mechanisms of cultural alienation - Arabic is a mode

Abstract

 Orientalism is generally an intellectual, cultural, scientific and cultural phenomenon that seeks to monitor and study everything related to the East and the Islamic East in particular and to draw its different features among western peoples. Therefore, many schools have emerged that have been active in this field, most notably the French school, as it has been the strategic centre since ancient times, i.e. the Middle Ages to this day. France has striven to develop this movement, as an active force in its expansionist colonial policies and a factor of cultural and intellectual domination of the target civilizations and peoples of the East, and this stems from the historical background that dominated French memory, with the Italian orientalist Michelangelo 1886-1940 saying that the phenomenon of orientalism and colonialism is two sides of the same coin: the alienation of homelands and control of their material and human potential, and the problem that imposes itself in this context: How did French orientalism use language as a mechanism to achieve its colonial goals? This is what this research paper will answer, God willing
