Abstract

One of the most outstanding theories which be considered by literary critics recently is of analyses of fiction context based on polyphonic theory by Michael Bakhtin (1895-1975), the authentic Russian theorist, critic, and philosopher, who has affected the literary studies during recent decades. He called Dostoevsky’s novels as polyphonic ones meanwhile studying them because there probably exist different phonics.
“Shogh-al-Darvish” novel written by the contemporary Sudanese author “Hamour Ziyadeh” was taken the Najib Mahfouz Literary Award in 2014 so that it involved in Booker Award list, too. In this novel that has political-love themes (earthly-heavenly love), we tried to describe the events of Sudan in the nineteenth century, at which time the Sudanese uprising against British colonialism took place. This novel can be as a polyphonic one because the components such as: intertextuality, diverse perspectives, multilingualism, mutuality of Islamic, Sufi, and Christian cultures were outstanding and remarkable. Here, this article is done by analytic-descriptive method as well as we surveyed the polyphonic components based upon Bakhtin’s polyphonic theory. Also, we tried to answer that how author can embed the policy and love together in field of polyphonic technics.
