Abstract

ABSTRACT The Israeli–Palestinian conflict, which dates back to the first half of the nineteenth century, brought occupation to the Palestinian people and caused oppression and suffering. This study examines the novel Ḥikāyat Ṣābir [Ṣābir’s Story] by Maḥmūd Isā (born in 1967) as a sample of contemporary Palestinian prison literature. The novel’s social and political resonances pushed Al-Jazeera television to turn it into a documentary film. Because the novel has received no prior scholarly attention, this article relies on the techniques and narrative structure of the novel. This paper examines the documentary values of the novel, its literary contributions, and its narrative manner, styles, and techniques. We use literary narrative analysis methodology, which draws upon Mieke Bal’s approach to narratology, as the theoretical basis for this. This article confirms that Ḥikāyat Ṣābir has a unique narrative-structural-fictional overlap; the novel includes a short story within the novel that is narrated by the protagonist, and the narrator is all-knowing, dominant, and omniscient. Furthermore, the novel features multiple narrative techniques and styles that occupy a great deal of space in the novel, rendering it a deeply polyphonic text.
当代巴勒斯坦监狱文学:Ḥikāyat Ṣābir (Ṣābir的故事)——以Maḥmūd Isā为例
以色列-巴勒斯坦冲突可以追溯到19世纪上半叶,它给巴勒斯坦人民带来了占领,造成了压迫和苦难。本研究将Maḥmūd isawa(生于1967年)的小说Ḥikāyat Ṣābir [Ṣābir的故事]作为当代巴勒斯坦监狱文学的样本。这部小说引起的社会和政治共鸣促使半岛电视台(Al-Jazeera)将其拍成了纪录片。由于这部小说之前没有受到学术界的关注,因此本文依赖于小说的技巧和叙事结构。本文考察了这部小说的文献价值,它的文学贡献,以及它的叙事方式,风格和技巧。我们使用文学叙事分析方法作为理论基础,该方法借鉴了米克·巴尔的叙事学方法。本文证实Ḥikāyat Ṣābir具有独特的叙事-结构-虚构重叠;小说在小说中包括一个由主人公叙述的短篇故事,叙述者无所不知,占主导地位,无所不知。此外,小说具有多种叙事手法和风格,在小说中占据了大量的空间,使其成为一个深刻的复调文本。
