الدستوبيا في رواية (فرنكشتاين في بغداد)‎ ل أحمد سعداوي : دراسة تحليلية

الملخص EN

The research dealt with aspects of dystopian literature or the so-called corrupt city literature in the novel (Frankenstein in Baghdad) by Ahmed Saadawi by monitoring some places where violence, murder, destruction, and fear have grown to two levels.

As a place where the events of the novel take place during the American occupation in 2003 and the two years that followed, some private places and their political and religious connotations were also examined, such as the Dora area, which is located in the centre of Baghdad and witnessed sectarian violence and displacement, passing through the Imams Bridge, which also witnessed horrific violent incidents that claimed the lives of thousands of citizens.

All of these places were monitored as spaces bearing dystopian characteristics, and the research also monitored the different dimensions of the dystopian personality and its impact on the events industry.

As for the second level that the research dealt with, it manifests itself in the internal psychological ruin of man through the characters of the novel, such as the separation from principles and the prevalence of manifestations of deception and fraud that express the corruption of the human soul, so society turns into a group of human mutants that kill each other and strip people of their humanity.

Some of the characters that were selected as samples bear those appearances.
