Satirical Dystopia in Modern Literature - The Book (A Nation Withdrawing from History) as an Example

Abstract

This research seeks to reveal the literature of (satirical dystopia) and the manifestations of that concept and its operations within the textual space, as a new term given to creative works that depict corruption, evil, and tyranny in a society whose moral values ​​are absent. In light of this trend, literary and critical works began to shed light on the features of urban corruption in literary discourse in general to achieve communication between the human self, cultural, and social systems, especially since the text is based on the duality of consciousness and existence. This duality engages with the artistic and semantic levels in form and content, to form a window for the alternative equation, which carries cultural and ideological references and searches for the future and anticipates its events. We have monitored concepts that are one of the research mechanisms and an important foundation of its main foundations, within the first section by pursuing the concept of dystopia and its approach in literature, as well as examining the concept of sarcasm, being a unique strategy in dealing with events, criticizing them, and anticipating the future. Then, in the second section, the study begins to monitor the conflicts of dystopia and identify its most prominent techniques and scenic manifestations related to science fiction in the book (A Nation Withdrawing from History), the model, and its semantic and artistic works, which intersect with cultural references.

      This cognitive and methodological interweaving resulted in the extremely important place occupied by the satirical dystopia in (Waleed Maabreh’s) literary work, as a cultural signifier and a cognitive communicative field. It is so as it exposes the social, political, moral and psychological aspects of dystopia, and anticipates future dark events by observing this theme and drawing its images with a visionary significance and artistic aesthetics. This theme represents an explicit call for an implicit dystopian revolution, rejection and resistance to societal collapse and political oppression to achieve a dreamy utopia that achieves freedom, justice, happiness and humanity.
