@ARTICLE{Hosseini, author = {Hosseini, Dr. Shokooh Alsadat and Mahmodabadi, Zahra and }, title = {Discursive Representation of Identity in The Second Dog War}, volume = {2}, number = {1}, abstract ={Identity is the most challenging subject in the modern world due to the flood of technology in the second half of the twentieth century, coupled with other post-modernist phenomena which have impacted our lives. Ibrahim Nasrollah, the renowned Palestinian author, in a novel titled: Harb al-Kalb al-Thaniah (The Second Dog War) has addressed this challenge through literature. In this novel, he has depicted the future of human life through an imaginary world, using magical realism. The basic concept of the novel is “Simulation”. This phenomenon enters the world of the story and spreads among the people. Day by day the people become more and more like each other and step by step, the fraudulence, violence and conflict in society increase and begin to take over. Through magic realism and using the descriptive –analytical approach to the novel, this paper seeks to study this process as an individual action leads to great human disaster. }, URL = {http://san.khu.ac.ir/article-1-123-ar.html}, eprint = {http://san.khu.ac.ir/article-1-123-ar.pdf}, journal = {Studies in Arabic Narratology}, doi = {10.52547/san.2.1.127}, year = {2021} }
