Abstract

Is It Necessary to Read Iraqi Feminism Mahjar Novels as a Documentary Historical Social Discourse Beyond a literary Narrative Text? What is the Common methodology between realist literary narration andReport narration? Are We in front of a different way of writing history? This is the Issue which we have tried to answer through the analysis of different cultural patterns in a novel written by Iraqi writer "Enaam Kajaje Tachare" following the application of Modern historical cultural criticism approach which Is Considered as one of the critical project of postmodernism.
 We have noticed through our analysis to current Iraqi Situation Presented in the novel that literary writing is linked to the outcomes of humanitarian sciences including history, sociology and politics which reveal the hidden connotations of the text such texts don’t get rid of ideological patterns, even although they are written in mahjar countries.The writer states a true testimony in a specific historical period by stimulating the ancestors’ memory and their archives which are kept in the subconscious to create characters who carry voices emanating from ideological inherent representations.
Accordingly, the writer functions her literary and journalistic experiences to a text that is categorized as "biographical novel".  
As these works oscillate between report Narration and narrative texts, we can say that we are about to develop the phenomenon of comparative cultural criticism (intercultural dialogue) as a new approach in the combination of comparative literature and cultural studies.
