The Status Of Satire In Arab Theatre Ali Salem’s Madrasat Al-mushaghibin As A Case Study
Authors : Oucif Siham . Chorfi Hanan .
Abstract
Abstract The play Madrasat al-Mushaghibin (The School of the Misfits) scrutinizes the state of schooling after the 1967 defeat. Ali Salem addresses the audience’s unconscious, giving voice to a bleak, troubling reality marked by generational conflict and by social and moral questions characteristic of adolescence. He does so with a lyrical sensibility that invites a rereading of lived reality and human types in Egypt, making almost everything—and at times nothing in particular—an object of laughter. Consequently, this research embarks on a profound exploration of the depths within the pages of Madrasat al-Mushaghibin (The School of the Misfits) laying bare the silenced aspects through the prism of Semiotic and structural criticism. To what extent can these Western and Arab literary methodologies be harmoniously assimilated, each bearing their own cultural and ideological freight?
