Carnival and polyphony in the novel "My Lost Love in Baghdad" by the American Michael Hastings

Abstract

This study deals with the Carnaval as one of the modernist concepts that swept the literary and fictional arena in particular. This is by answering a number of questions in which we hope to fulfill the exact rationale of the concept, most notably .. Where did the carnival come from? Is it one of the terms coming to the Arab literary scene like many of the terms that the arena is witnessing today, or does it strike in the Arab depth, history and language? Is it purely literary? What is the motive that led her to literature? And what values are you trying to achieve? What are its main characteristics? This and many other questions that the mind openly bump into, we find the answer to in the upcoming papers.. Then this concept was discussed in the procedural model represented by the novel of the American Michael Hastings (My Lost Love in Baghdad), and accordingly the study included three research axes, the first of which is the concept of carnival in general, While the second included a discussion of the relationship between the carnival and the novel from Bakhtin's perspective, and the third axis examined the carnival in the novel my lost love in Baghdad. The study also included a conclusion that addressed the most important findings.
