هدم البُنى المتعالية في أدب ما بعد الحداثة في العراق
Abstract
The Iraqi novel has benefited from postmodern transformations, particularly the demolition of fixed structures and the destabilization of metaphysical semantics. This does not necessarily mean that the Iraqi novel has embraced all of these transformations at once, but rather that it has benefited from them in its rejection of stereotypes and the disruption of monotony in its textual construction, with a clear inclination toward one technique over another within a single text. Although the Iraqi novel has reluctantly embraced postmodernism, it still relies, in some of its artistic aspects, on its previous legacy and historical foundation. This demolition was manifested in three axes: the first is identity, which was affected by a normative shake-up in which the self began to look at itself differently; the second is the body, in which the novel and some female novelists opened up to striking frankness, to achieve a moment of presence in absence, as it creates the lives of characters, builds bridges of meanings, and gives signs their connotations; and the third is history, which novelists demolished to build historicism, as postmodern novelists do not care about truth as much as they care about behavior, and that is historicism.
