البعد الرمزي في الأسطورة الشعبية
“أسطورة عروس المطر نموذجا”
This study aims at analyzing the legend of the Bride of the Rain (Tislet n Anzar), it through its definition and classification, by adopting the symbolic analysis method in order to clarify its meanings and connotations, and decipher its symbols: the symbolism of women – the symbolism of water – the symbolism of rain…
This, and the importance of this myth that the Amazigh man has preserved – despite the decline in its circulation today – has been reached through the rituals that he still practices whenever drought arrives and the sky stops precipitation. We also realized the difficulty of its topics, and the difference of classification criteria used by researchers and studies.
Keywords: Folk Legend, The Legend of the Rain Bride (Tislet n Anzar), Symbolic Analysis, Symbols and Semantics.
