Arṣifah Wa Judrān (Sidewalks and Walls) is associated with some of the aspects inherent in the postcolonial social and cultural transformations that Morocco had witnessed due to the illusive narrative of independence. Lack of political stability, repression, stagnation, and social disparities created helpless and alienated individuals torn between the utopian impulse for a better way of being and the forceful neocolonial crippling situation of aborted desires and hopes. When it first came out, the narrative raised questions about the nihilistic and existentialist position of the protagonist in a Moroccan society at the crossroads of colonial desires and postcolonial drifts. Arṣifah Wa Judrān remaps the contours of an unremitting condition marked out by the predicaments of existence in a society of contrasts par excellence. It demonstrates how the systematic social sufferings of the characters reach absurd extremes, and it casts nihilism and the mendacity of life in the postcolonial setting as restrictive, unreasonable and tragic. This essay attempts to reflect on how nation and narration, gender and sexuality in Arṣifah Wa Judrān coalesce to bring a distrustful glance through narrative themes that resonate with imposed nihilism and absurdity within a cruel society of shattered dreams and unfulfilled promises. It seeks to understand how characters strive to confront the existential crises dictated by loss, weariness, disappointment and the dystopian condition of the postcolony.

Arṣifah Wa Judrān（人行道和墙壁）与摩洛哥由于独立的虚幻叙事而目睹的后殖民社会和文化变革中固有的一些方面有关。缺乏政治稳定、镇压、停滞和社会差异造成了无助和疏离的个人在追求更好的生活方式的乌托邦冲动与流产的欲望和希望的强有力的新殖民主义瘫痪情况之间左右为难。当它第一次出现时，叙事提出了关于主角在摩洛哥社会中处于殖民欲望和后殖民漂流十字路口的虚无主义和存在主义立场的问题。Arṣifah Wa Judrān 重新描绘了在一个卓越的对比鲜明的社会中以生存困境为标志的不懈条件的轮廓。它展示了人物的系统性社会苦难如何达到荒谬的极端，并将后殖民环境中的虚无主义和虚假生活塑造为限制性的、不合理的和悲剧性的。本文试图反思民族和叙事、性别和性如何在 Arṣifah Wa Judrān 中结合，通过叙事主题带来不信任的一瞥，这些主题与强加的虚无主义和荒谬在一个梦想破灭和承诺未兑现的残酷社会中产生共鸣。它试图了解人物如何努力应对由失落、疲倦、失望和后殖民地的反乌托邦状况所导致的生存危机。本文试图反思民族和叙事、性别和性如何在 Arṣifah Wa Judrān 中结合，通过叙事主题带来不信任的一瞥，这些主题与强加的虚无主义和荒谬在一个梦想破灭和承诺未兑现的残酷社会中产生共鸣。它试图了解人物如何努力应对由失落、疲倦、失望和后殖民地的反乌托邦状况所导致的生存危机。本文试图反思民族和叙事、性别和性如何在 Arṣifah Wa Judrān 中结合，通过叙事主题带来不信任的一瞥，这些主题与强加的虚无主义和荒谬在一个梦想破灭和承诺未兑现的残酷社会中产生共鸣。它试图了解人物如何努力应对由失落、疲倦、失望和后殖民地的反乌托邦状况所导致的生存危机。
