Algerian Women In Social Media: A Critical Look At Their Representation On The "femme Algérienne" Facebook Page

Authors : Tair Moufida .

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to discover how Algerian women represent themselves in social media. by referring to critical analysis of speech theory, we propose three hypotheses: - there is a correlation between the language used and the values held by Algerian women; - correlation between the origin of the speech and the level of women's empowerment expressed; - the orientation of the audience is contingent upon the degree of authenticity or alienation in the representation. The outcomes are that language is not inherently tied to value, women use language without disconnecting from their values, the origin of the speech has a moderately positive connection to empowerment, and audience orientation is strongly correlated with authenticity and alienation of the content. The research was based on a representative sample of publications from the "Femme Algérienne" Facebook page.
