دراسة عناصر ما بعد الاستعمار في رواية "ذاكرة الجسد" لأحلام مستغانمي

Abstract EN

Abstract Postcolonial studies, as part of cultural criticism, are concerned with the impact of colonial domination on the culture of colonial nations after the end of the colonial period and participate in the effects and actions of colonialism on societies and their culture.

This study seeks to study the novel "Memory of the Body" by Ahlam Mosteghanemi, the courageous writer, on the basis of post-colonial elements, benefiting from the descriptive-analytical method.

The results tell us that Mosteghanemi in her novel seeks to discover the efforts of neo-colonialism to destroy the identity of the countries of the East and their political, cultural, social and economic independence, using direct and indirect interpretations (symbols).

In fact, Mosteghanemi's point of view in this novel is summarized in discovering the contradictions resulting from the confrontation of two contradictory cultures as a result of cultural anxiety after the colonial era and the revolution of colonial boredom.

The novel also presents a return to tradition and self-discovery of identity and knowledge as a key strategy for dealing with the devastating effects of colonialism on the culture of colonized nations.
