Postmodern Manifestations Of Alienation Patterns In Iraqi Women's Novel Religious Alienation As A Model

Abstract

The research addresses the phenomenon of religious alienation in the Iraqi women's narrative and the postmodernist manifestations of such alienation, as alienation is a common phenomenon in contemporary literature because the phenomenon of alienation has prevailed in individuals and communities and has spread rapidly. Thus, this is reflected in the literary works of women's fiction, and religious alienation is evident in the fiction texts and is represented for several reasons; Religious alienation, for example, was the result of separation and displacement from the land, which caused the loss of faith in Allah’s self as well as religious alienation, which was represented in the moral decay of the fictional characters resulting from doubting religion and ideological matters. The research also examined the overlap and integration of alienation types within the novel's texts, such as emotional alienation, which sometimes leads to religious alienation, as well as social alienation, which in turn may lead to religious alienation.
