تجليات الخوف في رواية "بابنوس" : قراءة ثقافية

الملخص EN

This study focuses on the concept of fear as a phenomenon, and its features related thereto, its causes, and its impact on individuals and groups.

This notion is a feature of the novel "Babanus" by Samiha Khrais who plans to trace such issues.

The novel is also based on the vision of the contemporary Man with regards to how Man sees cosmos, color, ethnicity, geographical vision and how this has been converted to sources of fear by taking it as a criterion for racial and ethnic discrimination.

Therefore, it is engaged in looking for a community of pluralism and diversity to confront the society which is based on one spectrum as with what is going on in the Sudan's region "Darfur" in particular and how the officials attributed the reasons of the conflict to pluralism instead of cooperation and brotherhood.

Thus, the society is ruled by pluralism as an example of a strong society versus a society with a mono-vision.

From such a point of view, the ruling of pluralism will give momentum to the strength of the society versus the society of a monovision.

This study also discusses the relationship of the West with others and the illnesses of what is called 'm odern civilization' which looks at the other parties from an investment perspective.

Therefore, human values have been sacrificed and transformed such values to mere commodities and things stacked for trade transactions, and considered others as inferior objects, numbers, and a subject that fits in only for trading truncated from his/her identity.

The study has focused on the forms of artistic discourse, whereby the novel appeals to the body discourse, color, vision, dream, memory, departure, silence, shaping, image, etc.

It concludes with the savagery relationship and struggle which have become the closest and evidenced as a relation amongst people who are now engaged in internal and local conflicts, launching wars and colonialism on the level of states and nations.

The study highlights text of critics where a living example has been exposed that people will possibly cause the human society to be based on plurality if wisdom and prudent government policy prevail which will promise to have a humanitarian community rather than brutality and tyranny.

Hence, the novel calls for the humanization of the human values which are the most notable features of the author's critical thesis.
