Abstract

This study investigates the thematic dimensions of center and margin as depicted in Azeddine Djelaoudji's novel, 'The Ash that Washed the Water.' The paper intricately examines the dynamics between the center and the periphery, articulated through multifaceted layers within the text. The analysis is structured around three pivotal levels: initially, it scrutinizes the margin’s critical perspective
towards the center, emphasizing the inversion of traditional gender roles through the lens of a defiant female archetype resisting patriarchal authority.
