Abstract

“Prison’ s narrative and the implications of the Syrian revolution: The renewed commitment”. The so-called “Prison ́s narrative” has had a strong presence in the bulk of Modern Arabic Literature, especially in those countries that had suffered the rule of despotic military regimes, as it is the case of Syria. The popular uprising of 2011 and the ongoing-armed conflict have reactivated the generation of this kind of Works, in the context of the global subject of compromise and commitment in Arts. Throughout the tools of self-evocation and devoted to a large number of expressive techniques, these novels-diaries place reality in the very axis of written invention. What seems to us really suggesting is the recovering of past suffering circumstances in order to insert them in the present state of continuous pain.
