المستخلص: The aim of this research is to support another form of knowledge: the polemic of the dehumanized; the "literature [that] re-mythologizes the world" (Foucault, Power 12). The researcher chooses Absent by Betool Khedairi as the research's subject of analysis to scrutinize the history of Iraq during the Gulf War and its psychological effect on women which is a long-ignored approach. It is an excellent example of literature that is both reactionary and revolutionary. Reactionary because Khedairi reflects the ongoing traumatic events, and revolutionary to change the status quo as it will be clear in the characters' struggle to survive as well as the novel's end. Absent tackles crucial issues such as women's psyche, fragmentation, the elusive notion of truth and the absent meanings and dreams in the Iraqis' lives. She deals, one way or another, with Iraqi women's limitations in the form of the conquering, totalitarian and patriarchal restrictions and attempts to examine her female characters' psychological and emotional unity with the difficulties of the inescapable outside world. In this sense, Khedairi's novel deconstructs what has been propagated by the powerful's narratives.
