العنف الثقافي في رواية "ألعاب السلام" لساكي و"الدبابة" لأحمد المالك
Abstract
Violence cannot be separated from human culture, civilization, and ideology. Ironically, it is society that creates the borders of legal and illegal violence. Therefore, violence is culturally relevant. This paper examines the culture of violence in Saki’s “The Toys of Peace” and Ahmed Al-Malik’s “The Tank.” The two short stories are set in entirely different backgrounds and address violence in relation to children’s and adults’ lives, respectively. The study aims to examine violence in relation to culture and man’s primitive instincts. It also addresses controlling violence through education, promoting peace, and encouraging refined codes of conduct. The paper juxtaposes violence to social conflict and culture of politics. It examines the distance between the savage and civilized man and the source of all human violence.
