تجلّيات خطاب السلطة في "رواية يا صاحبي السجن" لأيمن العتّوم وفق نظرية خطاب السلطة لميشيل فوكو

The power that dominates all societies is one of the most important topics that are addressed after modernity, including the French thinker Michel Foucault, who invented a new concept of power, and that concept had a great impact and changed many of the prevailing concepts, and this had an impact on literature. Among them is Ayman Al-Atoum, who drew from this theory to show us the tragedy that dominates Jordanian society. This research, which was conducted according to the descriptive-analytical approach, seeks to reveal the dominant power discourses in the novel "Oh my Own Prison" by Ayman al-Atoum, including the power of extremist factions, power and knowledge, the power of laws and the State Security Council, and the discourse of prison power, which was manifested greatly in the novel. As a result, we will see that the novelist, through the discourse of authority, shows us the extent of the authority's control over society, and reveals to us what is behind that dominant authority.

Keywords: Michel Foucault; Discourse; Power; the Jordanian novel; Ayman al-Atoum; the novel "Oh, my friend in prison".
