Sülesüyetü Girnata'de Beden Tasvirinin Boyutları

This study explores the representations of the body in the Granada Trilogy by Radwa Ashour as a semantic element that transcends the physical dimension, reflecting the psychological, social, and political transformations experienced by the characters within a turbulent historical context. The research is based on the hypothesis that the author employed the body as a parallel text to the narrative, through which identity struggles, alienation, resistance, and defeat can be interpreted. The study adopts a descriptive and analytical approach to uncover the methods through which the body is utilized in the structure of the narrative, with a particular focus on both the female and male bodies as tools to express individual and collective experiences, in which emotional, political, and cultural dimensions intersect. The findings reveal that Radwa Ashour deliberately deconstructed stereotypical images of the body through diverse and unconventional descriptions that reflect ethnic and cultural multiplicity. The research concludes that the body is not presented merely as an individual entity, but as a symbolic text embodying a larger conflict between oppression and alienation on one hand, and dignity and resilience on the other. The study recommends expanding the scope of research on the body in Arabic literature from cultural and historical perspectives, due to the rich and complex analytical potential it offers.
