تشظي الهوية في رواية حارس التبغ للروائي علي بدر

Abstract EN

Identity is located at the other side of otherness.

It is crystalized as an interactive and transformed relation with the change of circumstances and the contexts based on concepts of evolution and the change of the historical movement.

Identity is a lived human experience not restricted to the personal name only.

It accompanies existence because it represents real lives, experiences, and times.

Identity is constituted through other identities, identical or approximate, thereby constructing a melting point and holding non-existing things.

Entity is transformed into a separate or unified hidden existence where it exceeds the boundaries of the self , it positions itself outside the narrow and compelling circles , and it enjoys freedom in search of distinction and life and living the identity of the other.

No doubt, there are a host of challenges that face identity and embrace in Ali Bader’s The Tobacco Keeper .

Such challenges force identity to overpass the idea that it is a besieged soul through openness and the domination over the other’s identity which led it to the boundaries of fragmentation and non-existence.
