Abstract

This study deals with the novel (Frankenstein in Baghdad) (2013), by the Iraqi novelist Ahmad al-Saadawi, by revealing the postmodern features on which the novel was predicated on its different narrative techniques (Palimpsests, mixing truth and illusion, Fragmentation, narrative fragmentation, marginalization, Fantastic and parody) Saadawi's novel stress the transformations that hit Iraq after the US occupation in 2003, and to reflect the reality and authenticity that the author wanted to disclose. It can be verbalized as: the novelist Ahmed Saadawi was very prosperous in the utilization of postmodernist theses in his narrative and emphasize the importance of literary work to elude the manifestations of violence, killing and destruction. From this perspective, the novel appears to be a practical embodiment of the saying "literature of vision", that is, a new revelation of facts, especially in uncovering the hidden relations of the realities of living.

الملخص

تهدفُ هذه الدّراسة إلى رصد تقنيّات السّرد ما بعد الحداثي في رواية (فرانكشتاين في بغداد) (2013م)، للرّوائي العراقي أحمد سعداوي، من خلال الكشف عن ملامح ما بعد الحداثة الّتي قامت عليها الرّواية بتقنياتها السّرديّة المختلفة: (التّطريس، والمزج بين الحقيقة والوهم، والتّشظي والّتّفتيت السّردي، والتّهميش، والعجائبيّة، والمحاكاة السّاخرة)، وتُظهر الرّواية التحولات الّتي أصابت العراق أعقاب الاحتلال الأمريكي له عام (2003م)، لتعبر عن واقع مأزوم أراد الكاتب الإفصاح عنه. يُمكن القول: إنّ الروائي أحمد سعداوي كان موفقًا إلى حدٍّ كبير في توظيف أطروحات ما بعد الحداثة في سرده الرّوائي، والتّأكيد على أهميّة العمل الأدبي كوسيلة للخلاص من مظاهر العُنف والقتل والدمار. ومن هذه الزّاوية تبدو الرّواية تجسيدًا عمليًا لمقولة "الأدب رؤية"؛ أي أنّه كشف جديد للحقائق والوقائع، لا سيّما في كشف العلاقات الخفية لمظاهر الواقع المَعيش.
