Abstract
Carnival, the dynamic center of joyful spirit of debate and libertarianism of people, always shows power in the face of the absolute thoughts, with its solubilization and making solutions. Literary representation of carnival tradition and the anti-ban spirit of folk festivals, later in the Caniavalesque literature in the form of several techniques such as parody, relativity and binary opposition, crowning/uncrowning, lower urban language, the Themes of Death and mask, and banquet imagery were manifested, each of which was an artistic carnivalized response to the spirit of one-sidedness and self-sufficiency of the authoritarian party. Bakhtin's narratology project in the analysis of Novel-tendent prose considers carniavalesque as the keyword of modern novel developments by emphasizing the exploratory method of this idea in beliefs constructed carnival. The importance of paying attention to carnivalesque literature from the perspective of Bakhtin's critical approach lies in its ability to study and re-read the strategies of these works in objectifying the Liberal tendency of anti-dogmatic modern narrative discourse. Relying on the method of descriptive-analytical research, by observing the examples of carnivalesque of the novel "The-Game-of-Forgetting" in the form of the above components, we try to measure the success of the Moroccan "Mohamed Berrada" in dialogizing his work and promoting the spirit of polyphonic democracy in Arabic novel writing. The study of the novel from the perspective of carnivalesque literature indicated That: Berrada, with methods appropriate to each of the components such as: desecration, degenerating the transcendent enumerated concepts, inversion and replacement of oppositions, refutation of perfectionism and pre-recognized bases of rulers; It overturns hierarchical norms and seemingly inviolable rank-oriented relations, and by emphasizing multipolarism, will centralize rejected discourses once again. It'll leads the audience to the status of subjectivity and knowing the state of polyphonic nature of the universe, in the shadow of democracy, and has ultimately made his novel a successful example of global carnivalesque literature with a local twist.
