الملخص

The following dissertation explores the theme of paralysis and resistance in JamesJoyce’s Dubliners and Mohammed Dib’s La Grande Maison. However, hinging upon the newhistoricist theory, this comparative study will reveal that although the two writers chronicletwo different periods of their peoples’ history, their preoccupations in their early works werenot different. On the one hand, the Irish writer James Joyce wrote Dubliners in a periodcharacterized by the dominance of Irish Catholicism and the British imperial system which inhis view created Ireland’s paralysis, on the other hand, the Algerian writer Mohammed Dibalso chronicles in his first novel, La Grande Maison, the oppression and the social, economicand political upheavals to which his countrymen were subjugated during French colonialism.It is also attempted to prove that in spite of the paralysis image which dominates and reoccursin both texts, Joyce like Dib has given alternative ways how to resist and surmount paralysis.At the end, I hopefully endeavoured to prove that the authors’ visions and conceptions aboutthe idea of resisting paralysis remain different. For, in the case of Joyce’s characters, thoughat the end of each story he did not give literal indications whether spiritual liberation will beattained or just paralysis will ultimately prevail, yet he makes it evident that in order to resistand escape from paralysis, Irish people have either to die or exile themselves physically orspiritually from Dublin’s paralysis. On the contrary for Dib’s characters, the only way forthem to overthrow and surmount paralysis is through national and political consciousness byusing revolutionary means. In order to achieve this, I divided the dissertation into two parts,each part contains two chapters. The first chapter deals with the historical background ofIreland and Algeria, while the second chapter is devoted to short biographies of the authors byputting a great emphasis on their educational and artistic careers. The second part alsocontains two chapters; the first chapter will be concerned with the analysis of the theme ofparalysis and its motifs. While in the second, I will deal with attempts of these characters toresist paralysis by taking into account Joyce’s and Dib’s differing, or opposing conceptions onthe idea of overcoming paralysis.
