    Cultural hybridization in Salman Rushdi's midnight's children
    (university of Oum El Bouaghi, 2016) Merad, Samia; Zerrouki, Zina
    The following research paper is a study of hybridity in Salman Rushdie's midnight's children. At the basis of the research is a belief that postcolonial novels can be read as stories of individuals or as stories of nations . This makes us assume that Rushdie's midnight's children is a novel that presents the twined histories of both ,a person's family and a colonial country. The second assumption is that the novel is produced to cross the lines of race and culture. The third point is that the novel's diverse postmodernist techniques like magic realism and meta-narrative serve Rushdie's idea of mixed culture and identity. A number of critics and researchers inspired mainly by ideologies of postcolonial studies have studied the book . We have attempted, however , to make a contribution of the field by analyzing the novel based on the critical methods of historical meta-narrative and psychoanalysis.
