Abstract

The Western origin from which the postmodern culture and mouth descended, and the post-structural methodological procedure differs in its output from the climate and the modernist intellectual output. So, the post-structuralist narrative met in opposition to the modernist narrative; Modernist fiction contradicts reality and depicts it in a special structure that is immersed in imagination and abstraction and refuses to be a reflection of reality, but rather works to contradict it with the aim of change and reform. This is the core of the philosophy of modernity.

As for the postmodern storytelling, it approaches reality as it is, in its fragmentation and contradiction, and the projection of the faithful hero from dangers, and therefore it is a fictional simulation of reality, and that realism is the product of what science has made of strides in progress, and the doubt of what the modernist narrative has established from the rules, putting them in question. The novelistic works embody a different style from its predecessor - the structural novel - when its pioneers read the reality by rejecting or re-reading the crises with a comprehensive vision, and an explanation of the self with all its contradictions, and an approach to what was marked as forbidden, and not the major ideologies free from rejection, those that were filled with sanctification for a period It is not short, and it has thus undermined the dominance of intellectual systems that reject the major systems.

By undermining the author’s controlling authority, he places the burden on the reader; In this case, it is necessary to present a text that departs from the certainty of rulings, and is open to a plurality of interpretation; Here, the post-structuralist criticism and critic sensed the extent of the imposing need for a creative reading awareness, to which the relativity of concepts and the infinity of propositions belong.

Thus, the novel associated with that intellectual stage - (postmodernity) and the (post-structuralist) methodology - found that there is no escape from navigating new worlds with wide horizons, capable of drawing articulated features that distinguish them from the previous ones; In her celebration of the Jamahiriya and the marginalized, and this does not conflict with the legitimacy of her birth from a father concerned with progress in the sciences, and what is legitimized by the rationality and science of interpretations, which doubts the certainty of the narrative controls, so she judges her, rejecting that alleged certainty.
