Abstract

Research Summary

The research dealt with the concept of the masculine system and its representations in the theatrical text, as the dominance of the masculine system is a culture rooted in societies and a phenomenon worthy of study. The research included four chapters. The first chapter (the methodological framework) of the research dealt with the research problem, which revolved around the following question: What are the representations of the masculine system in the Iraqi theatrical text? The chapter also included the temporal and spatial boundaries, the boundaries of the subject, and the first chapter concluded by defining the terms and the procedural definition of masculinity, which is a concept that carries within it the tendency to dominate and control and the culture of the masculine society, and a group of narrow-minded social and cultural norms contributed to its production. As for the second chapter (the theoretical framework), it included two topics. The first topic was concerned with studying the masculine system and its representations in cultural criticism, and the second topic was concerned with studying the representations of the masculine system in the global theatrical text. The second chapter concluded with the most important indicators that resulted from the theoretical framework and previous studies; The third chapter (research procedures) included the research community and the research sample, which was a single theatrical text by the Iraqi writer (Faisal Al-Baghdadi); while the fourth chapter dealt with the results that the researcher reached, which included confirming the dominance of the male system, the most important of which are:

1-The male system was evident in the sample as a dominant element that seeks to consolidate its dominance and authority.

2-The male system appeared in the research sample as a result of expressing customs, traditions and social heritage that calls for the dominance of the male system over the female system.

3-The male system became clear in the sample through the negativity with which men deal with women.

4-The male system was clearly present through its attempt to marginalize women and seek to prove their inferiority.

In light of the results, the researcher reached a set of conclusions, and the chapter included a set of recommendations and suggestions and a list of research sources and references.
