Family relations and generation gap in the contemporary Algerian novel in the light of the Foucault Discourse Analysis (the novel "Alsagh Fawgh Alsagh Fi Thabute Rooyate Hilal Al Ushagh" as an example)

After the emergence of changes due to the industrial revolution and the growth of living and economic levels at the same time the relative independence of family members compared to the single core family system which generally had a head named father and all family members depended on him. The difference of opinion became what we know today as the generation gap. In the twentieth century, Michel Foucault presented a broad theory called "discourse analysis" in which he emphasized that words have different meanings in different situations. In this article, we try to examine the image of family relations in the contemporary Algerian family by examining the novel "AlsaghFawghAlsagh" by Amin Al-Zawi and examine the generation gap between family members. The research method in this article is based on a critical method and We intend to explore how and to what extent society changes affect family events and the prevailing discourse in the family within the contemporary novel. We derive in our study from the discourse analysis of Michel Foucault. Discourse for him is used to know the factors outside the text framework and their impact on the content. Perhaps one of the most important points that can be mentioned as a result of this article is the independence of family members and consequently the expression of personal positions and as a result creating differences between different generations and views, which can be said to be a constant conflict between tradition and Modernity also fuels these differences.
