Algerian Haiku between Application and Reception

Abstract

The Algerian poem in its process goes beyond the classical formand takes changes on both the formal and the substantive levels,which control the free poem, the poem and the prose. After theAlgerian poet know these two stages, he continues to spread theAlgerian poem by weaving new tributaries and opening them to differentmodes of expression, in forms, contents and rhythms thatmatched the challenges of each stage. Besides, he looks for othertechnical spaces to be in addition to the Algerian poetic discourse.That is why his poetry tends to be new, short and concise whichare modernistic poetic manifestos based on semantic and artisticintensification. As a poet , he keeps pace with the reality of the livingage, characterized by speed and abbreviation and short formsof poetry : the poem of chisra, hymn, nectar and haiku. The latter,of Japanese origin and environment, flourishes in its first phase inthe 17th century at the hand of Matsu Basho (1640-1694), the firstfather of such a genre .
