The Dialectic of the Self and the Other Through the Theme of Migration
in the Novel “Lost at Sea” by Hafnawi Zaghir
Abstract
This research aims to examine the manifestations of the self and the other in the narrative text. The study is based on the novel “Lost at Sea” by Hafnawi Zaghir as a subject of analysis, with the goal of uncovering the dialectic of the self and the other within the narrative and among its characters. The author employs alternating events between characters with Arabic and Western names to highlight the ongoing conflict between them, emphasizing the assertion of identity in the face of the other's dominance.
Keywords: self, other, narrative text, character, dialectics
