    Metafiction And Claustrophobia In Paul Auster's City Of Glass
    (2021-11-06) Dida, Nassireddine; Maoui, Hocine
    This paper addresses the argument that metafiction and reality are fundamentally identical in that they are both linguistic constructs within which humans experience claustrophobia. Metafiction exemplifies how the postmodern subject strives to escape all closed boundaries that limit their existential, cultural, or personal freedom. In this context, this article analytically examines the relationship between metafiction and claustrophobia in Paul Auster’s novel City of Glass. It highlights how language plays a major role in restricting people to linguistic realities that have no connection with other realms outside language. The intended purpose is to illustrate how humans have become claustrophobic in a postmodern culture that delegitimizes all major grand narratives or stories that once gave spiritual meaning to their lives.

    The Shadow Of Representations The New Orientalistic Tenets In Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner
    (جامعة الوادي - University of Eloued, 2021-11-06) Sedrati, Yasser; Maoui, Hocine
    This paper tries to approach The Kite Runner (KT) by Khaled Hosseini from a New Orientalistic perspective by the amplification of the different cultural, ideological, historical, and the political determinants which the researchers believe are major cornerstones. The novel is scrutinized on the basis of a postmodern philosophy that involves the epistemological model which is built on relativism, subjectivity, and deconstruction foundations. This paper accumulates different critics’ thoughts on New Orientalism philosophy and its permutations in the KT. Then, different conclusions are synthesized. The major objective is to re-read The Kite Runner and underpin the New Orientalistic tenets to show that Orientalism is still founding the Muslim and the Islamic subject matter in the Western imagination, and it keeps renewing the patterns which govern any discursive representation about Islam.
