Rethinking “Moroccan Personality”: Historical Grounding And Interpretation In Ṭayeb Biad’S Al-Šakhṣiyya Al-Maġribiyya: TaʾṢīl Wa-TaʾWīl, Taoufik Ait Bouchgour

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

This article offers an academic discussion of Ṭayyib Biyāḍ’s al-Šakhṣiyya al-Maġribiyya: Taʾṣīl wa-Taʾwīl (Tīṭwān, Editions Bāb al-Ḥikma, 2024), arguing that the book reframes a highly politicized identity question into a historical problem open to critical inquiry. The discussion highlights three main analytical operators: (1) space (al-insān wa-al-maǧāl) as a key to understanding circulation, borders, and social recomposition; (2) the longue durée as a safeguard against essentializing “personality”; and (3) the use of historical thresholds—baṣmat al-islām (the imprint of Islam) and ṣadmat al-ḥadāṯa (the shock of modernity)—together with the notion of al-izdiwāǧiyya (duality) to interpret contemporary tensions. In dialogue with classic …

The Development Of Soft Skills In Teaching Practices (Case Study: Teaching French As A Foreign Language), Oumaïma Hantat, Malika Rafiq

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

Most research define soft skills, as opposed to technical skills. In fact, they are generally related to social, personal, professional and communication aspects. From the outset, the transversal dimension of these skills is important. In this sense, extrapolating these competencies to the educational field - especially in foreign language teaching - is necessary to make the actional perspective work. This article treats the integration and development of soft skills in a pedagogical context. Indeed, this study focuses more specifically on the integration and developmental methods of these skills in the approaches adopted by teachers of French as a foreign language …

The Characteristics Of Iḍāfa In Arabic: A Syntactic Approach, Fatima Yahyaoui

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

This paper examines the structural specificities of the iḍāfa construction in Arabic. We propose an in-depth syntactic analysis of the nominal iḍāfa construction where the head (the mḍāf) is a generic noun, what Arabic grammarians call "maʿnawiyya iḍāfa". Our goal is to identify these constructions' characteristic features and study the relationship between the head and the complement.

The Representations Of Medea: The Art Of Reinventing Oneself In Medee Cherie By Yasmine Chami, Abdelhalim Ziti

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

Médée is the eponymous heroine of Médée chérie, a novel written by Yasmine Chami. She is Moroccan, born in Tangiers. Despite the fact of being a well-known sculptor, Médée keeps her professional success in the background of her responsibilities as a mother and wife.

During their transit at the airport of Orly in Paris, going to Australia, Ismaïl vanishes to continue “alone” his journey. Hence, Médée enters a state of emotional paralysis. A number of days pass before she leaves the room of the hotel …

Teaching And Reception Of The Complete Literary Work In Moroccan High Schools: What Motivation For Learning French?, Zohra Etalibi, Oumaïma Hantat, Malika Rafiq

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

The teaching/learning of French at the qualifying secondary level is essentially based on the study of the complete literary work for all sections. It is true that the literary text remains an important document for learning the language, but it is worth mentioning that students/ learners tend to have a lack of motivation during reading sessions. This leads us to wonder about the causes of this emotional disengagement towards reading. In this perspective, we are questioning what relationship could be between the use of the literary medium in class and the decline in motivation to learn French ? Why are …

The Feminine Body: A Search For Self-Assertion In Tourya Ouledhri's Let My Body Tell You…, Mohamed Bassim

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

The female body is used and invested in the Moroccan novel of frensh langage from an identity perspective that highlights the process of self-affirmation. The female story makes it the core of its plot to lay the foundations of a new emancipating vision to define the nature of the emblematic relationship between the female body and the claim for independence. Therefore, the female body becomes an object of writing, a means of expression and above all a decisive element in the process of self-realization. Writing is therefore seen as a weapon in the fight against the subjugation of the female …

Female Singing In The Khouribga Region: A Range Of Themes, Soukaina El-Loussi, Zahra Zaid, Souad Moudian

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

This article explores traditional women's singing in the Khouribga region, a key element of Moroccan intangible heritage. Transmitted orally, it serves as a means of expression, allowing women to share emotions and thoughts. The study analyzes songs related to marriage, circumcision, and mourning, highlighting five main themes: women, men, hospitality, parental blessing, and sorrow. While rooted in a patriarchal society, these songs act as a tool for cultural transmission and identity affirmation. The article emphasizes the need to preserve this oral heritage amid social transformations.

Dysfunctional Interpersonal Communication In Professional Contexts, Ayoub Dehbi

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

In this article, we have presented an overview of the communication process, formulated a definition of communication and examined its central elements: process, transaction, symbols and (shared) meaning. We also examined the debate on intentionality. We briefly reviewed the history of the field of communication to understand how its diverse origins in rhetoric, psychology and elocution support the diversity we find in the field today. As communication is not always positive, the ways in which it can be destructive were noted. Finally, because of these destructive results, communication can never be discussed without an examination of ethics and, therefore, three …

Making Meaning: Representations, Learning, And Contemporary Imaginaries, Nadia Kaaouas, Taoufik Ait Bouchgour

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

This issue explores meaning-making in contemporary societies by foregrounding representations, learning, and cultural imaginaries. Across digital media, cultural practices (including orally transmitted traditions), literary studies, pedagogy, and linguistics, the contributions show how oral, written, and visual forms of expression shape social relations, construct identities, and rework inherited cultural patterns. Literature is approached as a space for self-reinvention; schooling as a laboratory for skills and learner motivation; and linguistic analysis as an essential tool for the circulation of knowledge. Complementarily, heritage-oriented perspectives emphasize that the viability of cultural practices depends on ongoing transmission across generations.

Semiological Analysis Of Visual Representations Of The Female Body On Instagram, Hassan Baha

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

On digital social networks and Instagram in particular, female influencers mainly use images to communicate with their audience. A form of visual communication that allows them to enter a process of digital self-presentation. On Instagram, the female influencers in our sample are depicted as perfect, slim body and attractive. These images can impact women's perception of their own bodies and self-worth. A visual/virtual representation that can encourage women to seek an unrealistic physical perfection maintaining, in order to achieve this ideal, a set of stereotypes that persist in the social imaginary. In this present project, we will study the images …
