Abstract

Undoubtedly, derision is not merely a means of making fun of others. It is also an effective artistic tool in the hand of a writer or a poet to express his political and social concerns. One of those who have used this tool is the Syrian author Zakaria Tamer. In his Short story Al-Istighatheh (supplication), he has practiced derision in various ways to criticize the wrong notions cherished by the Syrian society and political regime. Using a descriptive-analytical method in this article and at the suggestion of the authers, the images are drawn by a caricaturist. The present study seeks to convey the author’ s attitudes to the audience, detect the instances of marginalizing the hero’ s identity as a wrong deed, and highlight the artistic manners of derision in the story. As the results suggest, the art of derision is manifested in various concepts such as sleeping Damascus, shattered body, literate readers ignorant of the hero’ s stance, inefficient weapon, false confused and disarmed hero minister, rejection of an abject death, and the end of the hero and his weapon. The artistic techniques of deriding as practiced in the story are magic realism, figurative words, painful ridiculous images, overt and covert ridicules, quasi-tribute rebuke, lexical semantic contradiction, and intertextuality.
