چکیده

The present paper tries to look at Masoomeh Abad’s I’m Alive in light of the theories of displacement, performance and resistance. According to the theories of displacement, a person going through forced displacement faces two paths: either to put what she was aside and take up what is forced on her or to resist and be what she wants. Abad, who has been a prisoner of war for four years in the Iraq-Iran war, has written her story in a book entitled I’m Alive. As a teenage rescuer in the time of war, Abad is captured and taken to Iraqi prisons such as Al-Rashid, and Mosul only to be able to grow into a resistant, powerful young woman at the end. Her forced displacement from not only her home town, but her country into the enemy’s most dreaded prisons alongside three other young girls enables her to change her performance accordingly and to find an indescribable resistance in herself to fight what comes her way. One must sit back and go through this paper to observe how displacement brings out different aspects of performance leading to the resistance of a seventeen year old scared girl; she didn’t know they existed herself.
