CULTURAL MANIFESTATIONS IN THE NOVEL OF (YEARS OF THE WOLF) THE ARGUMENT OF THE MARGIN AND THE CONTENT

Abstract

Hameed Al-Mukhtar surrounded his narration with a fence separating two texts: The main text and the supplemental text. The first: forms the center, focus and nucleus. The other: It represents a surrounding text that takes its true existence with the existence of the first. The relationship between them is a radioactive dialectic that is represented in clarification and interpretation. Which is what the narrator resorted to in his mentioned narration. The author has moved away from writing a classic narrative devoid of cultural mentality and replaced it with an objective and imaginative writing full of references and technical terms pregnant with background knowledge, inter textual scripts, textual reproductions and quotations fenced with references generating the creative text until the new novel combines two intersecting dimensions: Aesthetic and cultural. This margin must have its place in the novel, firstly because it is linked, connected to the body of the story and secondly because it is part of the content of the text.
