الذات المقاومة في أدب الاغتراب في الرواية الفلسطينية الحديثة عند سوزان أبو الهوى، وفي نماذج مختارة : دراسة تحليلية فنية

Abstract

The modern Palestinian resistance narrative, through its various stages, has been a fundamental and essential contributor to the field of Arabic literature. The role of the Palestinian resistance novel has been an integral part of this, bringing the Palestinian cause back to the spotlight and granting it the visibility it deserves. At the same time, it has served as documentation and recording of the most significant historical and political events it has witnessed, alongside the imaginative element allowed by the narrative aspect of writing. The Narratives have provided comprehensive depictions of the phases of Ottoman influence, and British mandate, and their role in establishing the Zionist occupation in Palestine. They have also captured the life of Palestinian society and individuals during these periods and beyond. This study aims to delve into one of the most important aspects of the Palestinian narrative, which is the resistant self, its images, and the environment that formed its core and its features as it passed through several pivotal stages in the Palestinian history. This is examined through selected examples of modern Palestinian narrative that also represents a form of exile literature, reflecting the circumstances of their authors who were forcibly displaced, either to exile or within their homeland. The study follows a descriptive-analytical approach to the novels of Palestinian writer: Susan Abulhawa, examining her narratives thematically and artistically. The study is divided into six chapters, including an introduction that addresses the methodology, structure, and questions of the study, and defines its key terms. It then analyzes the image of the resistant self in the events leading up to the Nakba by examining two narrative models related to that historical period. It further explores the image of the Palestinian self in the events after Nakba through the analysis of three selected Narratives. Additionally, it studies the image of the resistant self in Susan Abulhawa's first three narrative works from an artistic perspective. The study concludes several findings related to its subject matter.
