One of these theories in the field of literature by being inspired by the carnival celebrations of the middle centuries of Europe. Because according to bakhtin's belief, the carnival, like the novel beyond its structural features, is always a tool for the crystallization of society with its political, social and cultural concepts, as well as expressing different realities, thoughts, cultures and languages in order to contrast culture and it is considered official and unofficial literature. Therefore, the novel is the most important genre that can appear not only in the theory of carnivalism but also in the central core of her main theory-dialogism-along with all the concepts that are defined under it. in this theory, Bakhtin uses many components such as polyphony, grotesque realism, humor, relativity and masks, etc. in this article, the authors try to analyze the novel Beirut 75 by Ghada Al-Saman, which with a special delicacy, depicts the depth of the administrative corruption of the ruling system and the roots of class differences in the Lebanese society of the seventies, based on the components of this theory.
