Folk Text Between Epistemological Rupture and Modernizing Aspiration: Towards a Transcendent Cognitive Logic That Reformulates Academic Discourse - The Stakes of Innovation and Modernity in Algerian University Programs

Abstract

This research is situated within a sensitive and urgent academic context concerning a profound epistemological crisis facing folk texts in Algerian university institutions, where the fundamental problematic lies in the cognitive rupture that this text suffers between a system of traditional curricula whose balance has been disrupted on one hand, and the necessities of contemporary intellectual modernization and modernity on the other hand. The essence of this problematic lies in the acute gap between what current university programs offer and what contemporary reality requires in terms of advanced critical perspectives and modern analytical tools for understanding and teaching folk texts, a situation that has led to a clear methodological disorder and a decline in the quality and depth of academic discourse on these texts.

        The research seeks to achieve a multidimensional primary objective consisting in constructing a transcendent and modern cognitive logic that transcends current methodological disorders and radically reformulates academic discourse on folk text. This objective requires a comprehensive reconstitution of educational structures and curricula in a way that ensures an advanced cognitive reconciliation between deeply rooted traditional perspectives and contemporary modernist approaches, thereby raising the quality and critical depth of scientific discourse. The importance of this research transcends the narrow academic framework to reach a real social and cultural responsibility, as it contributes directly to the development of university educational programs and the reshaping of the perspectives of new academic generations regarding folk literature and its cognitive and cultural value. Furthermore, the study reflects a commitment to improving the quality of higher education and reconsidering educational policies in a manner consistent with the aspirations of Algerian universities in elevating the level of their research and academic discourse.

        The research relied on a composite and multidimensional study methodology that combines several integrated approaches: the analytical epistemological approach that deconstructs current cognitive structures and reveals the foundations of their disorder, the critical comparative approach that measures the reality of university programs against standards of global intellectual modernity, and the approach of deep textual reading that analyzes folk texts themselves using modern analytical tools. This methodological composition allows for exploring the problematic from multiple angles and providing comprehensive and balanced solutions.

        The fundamental terms of the study revolve around several cognitive axes: epistemology as the study of cognitive and scientific foundations, cognitive rupture which refers to the division between contradictory cognitive models, reconstitution as a process of comprehensive rebuilding of the intellectual system, discursive modernization which means developing forms of academic expression, and literary modernity as a contemporary theoretical framework. These terms reflect the depth and complexity of the study's subject matter.

        The study has yielded pivotal and significant results confirming that current methodological disorders in university programs necessitate a radical and comprehensive re-engineering of the educational system. Results demonstrate that constructing a new and innovative academic model that encompasses the full complexities of folk text and respects its cultural and linguistic specificities is practically possible through activating contemporary modernist approaches. The study also emphasized the importance of achieving an advanced cognitive balance combining authenticity and contemporaneity, and the necessity of developing new educational mechanisms that keep pace with global critical developments without losing local cultural roots.
