Der Weg in den Untergang in Christian Schüles Das Ende unserer Tage (2012) und in Muhammad Rabies Otared (2015)
Asaad, Hend;
Abstract
The theoretical considerations about the relationship between sovereignty and homo sacer of the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben serve the analysis of the German novel Das Ende unserer Tage (2012) (The End of Our Days) by the German author Christian Schüle and the Arabic novel Otared (2015) (Mercury) by the Egyptian writer Muhammad Rabie, because there are relevant parallels between the dystopian images in both novels and the theoretical approach of Agamben. Furthermore, the dystopian visions can be traced back to a repressive reality, which many people today cannot escape. The paper aims to compare the influence of terrible social visions on the development of the characters of both novels.
