Abstract

Based on the analysis of the first year of the Hirak, the Algerian protest movement started on February 2019, the article focuses on its visual performance and on the narrative emerging from it. Banners, posters and photos highlight the Hirak's specific attempt to give a new meaning to the discourse about the Algerian people and its unity. Particular attention is given to the visual performance of Algerian diversity exemplified by the deployment of the Amazigh flag during the protests. The flag became more than a cultural symbol and represented an instance of freedom and a manifestation of the people's will to escape traditional hetero-definitions of belongings and identities.

Hirak。阿尔及利亚抗议活动中多样性的视觉表现

本文基于对从2019年2月开始的阿尔及利亚抗议运动Hirak第一年的分析，重点关注其视觉表现和从中产生的叙事。横幅、海报和照片凸显了Hirak为阿尔及利亚人民及其团结的话语赋予新意义的具体尝试。特别注意的是阿尔及利亚多样性的视觉表现，在抗议期间部署阿马齐格旗就是例证。这面旗帜不仅仅是一种文化符号，而且代表了自由的实例，表明了人们摆脱对财产和身份的传统的异性定义的意愿。

期刊介绍： PArtecipazione e COnflitto [PArticipation and COnflict] is an International Journal based in Italy specialized in social and political studies. PACO houses research and studies on the transformations of politics and its key players (political parties, interest groups, social movements, associations, unions, etc.), focusing in particular on the dynamics of participation both by individuals acting in conventional ways, and by those who prefer protest-oriented repertoires of action. Special attention is also paid to the dynamics of transformation of contemporary political systems, with an eye fixed on the processes of democratization besides on the spaces opening to the new forms of governance both at local and sub-national, and supra-national level. All are inscribed in that complex phenomenon represented by the trans-nationalization of social, political and economic processes, without neglecting the nation-state dimension. The journal emphasizes innovative studies and research of high methodological rigor, treasuring of the most recent theoretical and empirical contributions in social and political sciences.
