Abstract

In order to promote a constructive future of postcolonialism theory and criticism, this paper diagnoses the narrative method of postcolonialism and seeks changes. First, we read Albert Camus' “The Stranger” and Carmel Daoud's “Meursault, Contre-Enquete” together to discuss the difference. and Explore the nature of the decolonist narrative and the style of reproducing the identity of the decolonist. As a result of the analysis, various narrative differences such as character-centered and event-centered, dynamic and static, realism and fiction are found in “The Stranger” and “Meursault, Contre-Enquete”, respectively. Above all, “The Stranger” presents self-production or self-creating narratives in an independent way of thinking. However, “Meursault, Contre-Enquete” constitutes a narrative method that lacks subjectivity, buried in criticism and subversion of colonial narratives. This narrative style of decolonial aesthetics can act as a limit to expressing the identity of the decolonial subject or persuading readers. Therefore, we seek a change in the decolonist narrative method in the direction of joining the narrative characteristics of the two novels, and this paper presents a new narrative model called Trans-Identity Storytelling as an alternative.
