    Psychological analysis of Younis Al-Khattat, the novel Honaa Al-Warda According to Freud's theory

    No full text
    Sigmund Freud provided the basis for analyzing literary works using psychoanalytic methods. The novel Honaa Al-warda, by the Jordanian writer Amjad Nasser, is one of the political novels in which the author paid special attention to psychological issues and the hidden struggle of the inner forces of the novel’s hero, Younis Al-Khattat, in dealing with its subject. Therefore, the current research attempts to study the internal conflict of Yunus Al-Khattat, the hero of this novel, based on Freud’s theory, and to analyze the outcome of the battle between the id, the ego, and the superego over his individual and social life. The results of the research indicate that heredity, family environment, relationships with peers, the tense political and social atmosphere, and the propaganda of intellectual and political organizations play a major role in shaping Yunus’s acute internal conflict. His comprehensive internal anxiety is caused by the establishment’s pressures on himself and his logical ability and its insistence on quickly meeting its irrational, material and emotional demands, as well as the destructive and false ideals of the superego that lead him to many adventures and ambitions, and work that leads to the assassination of the president and exposes his life, his fate, and the fate of his family to danger.Keywords: psychoanalysis, Freud's theory, Amjad Nasser, Honaa Al-Warda's novel, Younis Al-Khattat. Extended Summary IntroductionPsychoanalysis is a literary criticism method that studies psychological novels and, through exploring the characters in the novel, explains how their personality is constructed. Systematic and scientific criticism of psychology began concurrently with the beginning of psychology and the publication of Sigmund Freud's works at the end of the nineteenth century. Since Freud was the first to subject literature to psychological interpretation, he had a great interest in reading literary works, as literature had a profound impact on his personal and scientific life, and he used it to expand the horizons of his work in psychoanalysis as well as to expand the scope of his psychological discourse. His views on the personal characteristics of writers and artists are not merely psychoanalytic, but rather a combination of psychological theories and his literary taste. Amjad Nasser is a well-known Jordanian creative writer who has paid special attention to psychological issues in writing his novels. Honaa Al-Warda is Nasser's second novel nominated for the International Booker Prize in 2018. It narrates the life events of a leftist activist named "Younis Al-Khattat" and expresses all the traits of his personality in the form of behaviors, actions, and political adventures. Honaa Al-Warda is a political novel that shows the developments in the Arab world in the seventies. Therefore, the psychological analysis of the main character in this novel can express the influence of individuals in society in Arab countries from political, social, cultural, and intellectual circumstances and represents many historical unknowns. Therefore, the current study, based on Freud's theory on the three levels of personality, attempts to study the role of the internal conflict of Younis, the hero of the novel, in shaping his personality type. First, Freud's theory and the tripartite structure of personality are analyzed from his point of view, then Younis's internal developments are analyzed according to Freud's theories and the impact of his internal conflict on his personal and social life is expressed. This research aims to answer these questions:1- What are Nasser's goals in creating the character of Younis?2- How does the battle between the id and the ego occur in the character of Younis and what is the result of the subconscious's dominance over his consciousness?3- How does the Oedipus complex affect the creation of the superego of Younis and what is the result of the conflict of the ego with the superego?4- How does the conflict of the three forces in the character of Younis affect his personal and social life?MethodologyFreud is considered the first psychologist to assign a specific structure to the human personality in which the internal actions of the human being are formed under the influence of instincts and conflicting forces. From the beginning of his life until its end, the human being constantly fights and quarrels with various forces and people, but this battle is not limited to the outside world. "Freud searches for this conflict in the depths of human existence, which causes the formation of the human personality and intellectual development"; the human world is an arena of confrontation between different forces that interact automatically with each other, which leads to the health of the human soul and spirit, and the absence of this interaction causes anxiety and insecurity in the human personality. Freud sees that the structure of the human personality includes three parts: the id, the ego, and the superego. "These three parts of the personality interact at three levels of psychological life with each other, and the ego passes through different spatial levels and has conscious, semi-conscious, and unconscious elements. While the superego is semi-conscious and unconscious, the id is completely unconscious"; these levels are completely intertwined and cannot be separated, and the ego exists at all these levels under different conditions.DiscussionBy describing the whispers of Younis Al-Khattat and his tense inner life from childhood to youth, Amjad Nasser depicts the role of the authoritarian atmosphere, suffocation, lack of freedom and social justice, and the violation of the principle of democracy that govern some Arab countries in shaping the internal conflict of individuals in Arab societies and the desire for violent actions. He also criticizes the exploitation of authoritarian individuals like Younis by political organizations that push them, by stimulating their internal forces, to violence and terrorism in order to achieve their goals. In reality, the dreams of such a generation of young people turn into a pile of ashes. The id's insistence on satisfying his material, immoral and irrational needs leads to the formation of his aggressive, hasty and reckless personality that exhausts his rationality and ego with repeated demands. The id of Yunus, by its rebellion against the ego, passes from the unconscious and semi-conscious area and enters the conscious level, and the ego weakens and is unable to provide Yunus with the appropriate ideas and solutions to overcome problems, and great anxiety and confusion dominate his existence.ConclusionThe superego of Younis, due to the failure to resolve the Oedipus complex in his childhood and his failure to undergo the process of understanding his parents’ behavior and not following their orders and what should and should not be done, takes on an abnormal, unnatural, and neurotic state. Younis thinks that his father is his competitor in winning his mother’s love, and he constantly tries to rescue himself from his father’s control. The desire for superiority and authority becomes entrenched in him, and the false ideal ego is formed in him, far from external reality, leading to walking in a world of fantasy and dreams, and causing the superego and its unreasonable ideals to turn against the ego and blame it for following the principle of reality. It is stubborn like the id and insists on achieving its demands in an irrational way, which makes Younis justify terrorism and violence and consider it a value and a custom, regardless of his responsibilities towards his wife and family. The Sources and References:A: Books                                              Abbas, Faisal, Psychoanalysis and Freudian Tendencies, Clinical Comparison, I1, Beirut: Dar Al-Fikr Al-Arabi, 1996. ]In Arabic[A group of authors, References Personality, Id, Ego and Superego, translated by: Wajih Asaad, Damascus: Publications of the Ministry of Culture of the Syrian Arab Republic, 2002. ]In Arabic[Engler, Barbara, Introduction to Personality Theories, translated by: Fahd bin Abdullah bin Dulaim, Mecca, Taif Literary Club Publications,1411. ]In Arabic[Feist, Jess, Feist, Gregory J, Personality Theories, translated by Yahya Seyed Mohammadi, I5, Tehran: Nash Ravan, 1389. ]In Persian[Freud, Sigmund, The Ego and the Id, translated by Muhammad Othman Najati, I4, Beirut: Dar Al-Shorouk, 1982. ]In Arabic[Freud, Sigmund, Instinct and culture, studies in psychology, translated by Hussein Al-Mawazni, I1, Baghdad-Beirut: Al-Jamal Publications, 2017. ]In Arabic[Freud, Sigmund, Al-Kaf, Affection, and Anxiety, translated by Muhammad Othman Najati, I4, Beirut-Cairo: Dar Al-Shorouk, 1989. ]In Arabic[Freud, Sigmund, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis, translated by Izzat Rajeh, Misr Printing House. ]In Arabic[Freud, Sigmund, Beyond the Pleasure Principle, translated by Ishaq Ramzi, I5, Dar Al-Maaref. ]In Arabic[Freud, Sigmund, Summary of Psychoanalysis, translated by George Tarabishi, I2, Beirut: Dar Al-Tali’ah, 1986. ]In Arabic[11.Freud, Sigmund, Ego and Id, translated by Amin Pasha Samadian, Tehran: Pandar Taban, 2014. ]In Persian[Freud, Sigmund, Heads of psychoanalytic theory, translated by Hossein Payandeh, Arghonun magazine, number 22, 2001. ]In Persian[Nasser, Amjad, Hona Al-warda, Beirut: Dar Al-Adab, 2017. ]In Arabic[Shultz, Dovan, Theories of Personality, translated by Yusuf Karimi and colleagues, I10, Tehran: Arsbaran, 2012. ]In Persian[B: University ThesesDimesh, Hanan and Laila Boudiar, “Application of the Psychological Method according to Ahmed Haydouche,” a thesis for obtaining a master’s degree in Arabic language and literature, supervised by: Nabila Aabash, Muhammad Al-Sadiq Ben Yahia University, Jijel, 2014 AD. ]In Arabic[ C: MagazinesAl-Khaironi, Halima and Abdul-Ghani bin Muhammad, “The Psychological Method in Literary Analysis: The Novel as a Model,” Scientific Journal of Language and Culture, Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’azzam Shah International Islamic University, Malaysia, 2022 AD, Volume 7, Issue 2, pp. 21-/34. ]In Arabic[Hosseini, Seyyed Sajid and Bakhtiar Sajjadi, Representation of the semi-conscious in the narrative from a psychoanalytic perspective: Examining the flow of the mind in the short story "Tomorrow" by Sadegh Hedayat", Contemporary Persian Literature, Year 8, Number 2, 2017, pp. 35-62. ]In Persian[Maarouf, Yahya and Muslim Khezeli, "Criticism of the psychology of personality in Motanbi's poems", Arabic Literature, Issue 2, 1392, pp. 193-216. ]In Persian[Maarouf, Yahya and Muslim Khazli, "Psychological analysis of the novel Zaqaq al-Mudaq by Najib Mahfouz", Critic of Contemporary Arabic Literature, Volume 6, Number 11, 1395, pp. 211-235. ]In Persian[.20.Yohnai, Massoud Reza, review of conscious and unconscious from Sartre and Freud's point of view, Afaq Humanities Monthly, year 4, number 38, 2019, pp. 81-/96. ]In Persian

    Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Missions Employing Formation Flying

    No full text
    This paper presents an overview of single-pass interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) missions employing two or more satellites flying in a close formation. The simultaneous reception of the scattered radar echoes from different viewing directions by multiple spatially distributed antennas enables the acquisition of unique Earth observation products for environmental and climate monitoring. After a short introduction to the basic principles and applications of SAR interferometry, designs for the twin satellite missions TanDEM-X and Tandem-L are presented. Primary objective of TanDEM-X (TerraSAR-X add-on for Digital Elevation Measurement) is the generation of a global Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with unprecedented accuracy as the basis for a wide range of scientific research, as well as for commercial DEM production. This goal is achieved by enhancing the TerraSAR-X mission with a second TerraSAR-X like satellite that will be launched in spring 2010. Both satellites act then as a large single-pass SAR interferometer with the opportunity for flexible baseline selection. Building upon the experience gathered with the TanDEM-X mission design, the fully polarimetric L-band twin satellite formation Tandem-L is proposed. Important objectives of this highly capable interferometric SAR mission are the global acquisition of 3-D forest structure and biomass inventories, large scale measurements of millimetric displacements due to tectonic shifts, and systematic observations of glacier movements. The sophisticated mission concept and the high data acquisition capacity of Tandem-L will moreover provide a unique data source to systematically observe, analyze and quantify the dynamics of a wide range of additional processes in the bio-, litho-, hydro- and cryosphere. By this, Tandem-L will be an essential step to advance our understanding of the Earth system and its intricate dynamics. Enabling technologies and techniques are described in detail and an outlook on future interferometric and tomographic concepts and developments, including multi-static SAR systems with multiple receivers, is provided

    El desafío de la otredad: una lectura imagológica de La straniera de Younis Tawfik

    No full text
    This article offers a critical reading of Younis Tawfik's novel La straniera from the perspective of imagology. This approach to comparative literature focuses on representations of foreigners and otherness in literary texts. Tawfik constructs a love story whose protagonists are two Arab migrants living in Italy: Amina and the Architetto. He has integrated perfectly into Italian society, while she suffers a series of vicissitudes that force her into prostitution. The characters constantly live between two cultural realities (their country of origin and their host country) that condition their cultural practices and the way they relate to the world. The novel focuses on the idea of foreignness and the search for identity that migrants face in their host country. Based on these premises, an analysis articulated with the imagological method proposed by Daniel-Henri Pageaux (1994) will be conducted. The critical reading of the novel is constructed on the basis of the study of three elements: the lexical-semiotic configurations of the story, its narrative structures, and the text-author-context relationship. This critical approach seeks to delve into the representation of otherness in an iconic text of migration literature in Italy. This literary phenomenon illustrates the great cultural transformations that Italy is undergoing: a nation facing the challenge of multiculturalism.En este artículo se ofrece una lectura crítica de la novela La straniera de Younis Tawfik desde la imagología. Este enfoque de la literatura comparada se concentra en las representaciones del extranjero y la otredad en los textos literarios. Tawfik construye una historia de amor cuyos protagonistas son dos migrantes árabes residentes en Italia: Amina y el Architetto. Él se ha insertado perfectamente en la sociedad italiana, mientras que ella sufre una serie de vicisitudes que la obligan a dedicarse a la prostitución. Los personajes viven constantemente entre dos realidades culturales (el país de origen y la tierra de acogida) que condicionan sus prácticas culturales y el modo en que se relacionan con el mundo. La novela se concentra en la idea de la extranjería y esa suerte de búsqueda de identidad que afrontan los migrantes en el país de acogida. A partir de estas premisas, se propone un análisis que se articulará a partir del método imagológico propuesto por Daniel-Henri Pageaux (1994). La lectura crítica de la novela se construye a partir del estudio de tres elementos: las configuraciones léxico-semióticas del relato, sus estructuras narrativas y la relación texto-autor-contexto. Esta aproximación crítica busca ahondar en la representación de la otredad en un texto icónico de la literatura de la migración en Italia. Este fenómeno literario ilustra las grandes transformaciones culturales que vive Italia: una nación que afronta el desafío de la multiculturalidad
