L’humour engagé et contestataire dans l’espace arabe contemporain JO - LiCArC (ISSN 2426-8852), 8, 2020 DO - 10.15122/isbn.978-2-406-10937-2.p.0103 SN - 2426-8852 SP - 103 EP - 118 AB - Inspired by Western theater and traditional forms, the characters in Sannū’s plays mirror a contemporaneous Egyptian society that the playwright critiques through a distinctly local, eminently Egyptian, and authentically presented brand of humor. The depiction of the characters is underpinned by the use of a simple and realistic dialect, as well as situations drawn from daily Egyptian life that simultaneously render the criticism more realistic and corrosive.
