الملخص

Feminism has benefited from the mechanisms of post-colonial criticism in order to dismantle the patriarchal discourses that were created around the female as a margin and around the male as a center. Based on the thought of Gayatri Spivak, we find that women’s crises and issues are closed cultural structural problems that are difficult to solve and are transmitted through the values ​​of the prevailing culture from one generation to the next; therefore, Rawaa Sunbul tried to use narration as a cultural mechanism through which she redefines the relationships and social roles between men and women. The research takes feminism as an approach, in an effort to develop a more critical approach than the desire to develop the ancient cultural conflict between men and women, and perhaps one of the most prominent hypotheses raised by the research: Are narrative texts capable of being aware of the dialectical relationship between male patriarchy and the emerging feminism in Syrian culture? The research used an approach that combines the descriptive approach and the complete inductive approach, and its importance lies in seeking to study a specific part, a part that possesses a gender perspective, so the narration of feminist awareness is the result of digging into the founding layers of the stories of Rawaa Sunbul, and awareness here cannot be viewed as a direct given, but rather as structures whose meanings have been deduced, and they are like the epistemological spring from which the story takes its referential awareness. The research is divided into three sections: Section One: Feminism of Heterogeneity in Spivak, Section Two: Similarity and Difference in Narration, and Section Three: Narrating Feminist Consciousness in the Short Story Writer Rawaa Sunbul
