صورة الميتاسرد في رواية "شهيا كفراق" لأحلام مستغانمي

Abstract EN

The narrative of postmodernism, like the narrative of modernity, sought to narrate experimentation, as it became difficult to differentiate the aspects of experimentation between the two phases of the convergence of techniques and mechanisms that work in creating the narrative text.

Yet, one of the most prominent manifestations of postmodernism narration is the meta-narrative technique, whose terminology and definitions have varied.

However, most critics agree in considering it as self-awareness in writing.

Feminist writing also took care of this postmodern technique to express themselves, and "Ahlam Mostaghanemi" was one of the leading female writers in the field of narrative experimentation.

She employed this technique in her novels "Memory of the Body" and "Chaos of the Senses" to come in the novel " Shahia Kaffarak " to show this technique with its various manifestations.

What do we mean by metanarrative? How did Arab and Western critics view this experimental technique in narration? How did the writer recruit meta-narrative in “Shahia Kaffarak”? What are its elements in the novel?
