Muhamad Khudhair's novel " Kurasat Kanun" A Study of Multi-Authoritative Power

Abstract

The research tackles a studying in the microphysics of power or authority in accordance to its modern form by Michel Foucault (1926-1984) who is regarded among the great philosophers in the second half of twentieth century. The research takes a modern literary text (as it's shown in the title) to trace the hidden and announced struggles among these contexts، and it also discusses the efficiency of this foucauldian concept in the terms of narratology.

   It، further، shows the theory of fissionable spreading of authority with its main four implications including the cover as sphere for power، the core of authority and its forms، the mechanisms of opposing authority، and criticizing the authority and its institutions and exposing their discourses. Finally، the research displays the concluded points through analysis، and via both horizontal and vertical reading for the narratorial extracts from the novel، then it ends up with footnotes، works cited، and sources.
