The Event and Difference: A Study in Ahmed Khalaf’s Wolves at the Doors

Abstract

This research seeks to approach the concept of event and difference in the novel (Wolves at the Doors) by (Ahmed Khalaf), because this novel has a discourse based on  changing the linear pattern of narration, so that the worlds in it are intertwined from the past to the present and from the present to the past, and our goal in all of this is based on a conception of the event based on creation and experimentation. The research does not  deal with the event, as is the case in traditional narrative studies, as a group of actions arranged in a causal order... but rather it is viewed as a pure difference. We have thus adopted the radical experimental approach which led to Tto the fact that the novel does not deal with the event according to a causal or teleological principle, but rather from the logic of coincidence, that is, not acknowledging the hierarchy of time, nor the hierarchy of cultural values, because it is based on the deconstruction of the chronological logic of history, and not resorting to any prior standard.
