This important study explores the relationship between the structure of discourse awareness and the structure of reality awareness. The author, Farhat, reflects on the action of 'departure' as experienced by Palestinians, both literally and metaphorically, from familiar places to exile and fragmentation. By examining Ghassan's discourse through the lens of this departure, the rest of the narrative appears as consequences of this action in its evolution, accumulation, and transformations.

The author studies the primary texts of the departure action in Ghassan's cultural discourse, such as 'Returning to Haifa', 'What is Left for You', and 'The Bride'. These works present the three foundational elements of departure as identified by the author: the opposing other, the structures of the Arab environment and their intersections, and the Palestinian community's stance toward the challenges faced and its awareness and interaction with reality.
