    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.
