This study examines the contentious reception of TawfÄ«q FayyÄá¸âs novel al-MushawwahÅ«n (The Deformed, 1963) within the Palestinian literary field of the 1960s. Employing Pierre Bourdieuâs theory of the literary field, the analysis explores how external forces, including political authority, market pressures, and dominant ideology, intersected with internal factorsâsuch as authorial habitus and aesthetic innovationâto shape the novelâs production and reception. The study reveals how the Communist Partyâs ideological hegemony, Israeli censorship policies, and imported commercial literary models created a restrictive cultural environment that systematically excluded experimental works. FayyÄḠemployed a modernist approach that foregrounded individual subjectivity, religious skepticism, explicit sexuality, and psychological alienation. These elements directly challenged those of the dominant socialist realism and collective resistance narratives of the time. The paper demonstrates how symbolic violence operates through conditional recognition, as evidenced by the contrasting reception of FayyÄá¸âs later ideologically conforming works. This case study illuminates the complex mechanisms through which literary fields regulate cultural production under conditions of political occupation and cultural marginalization.
