Read More Research "Semantics of Place in the play of “kharej-al-serb”by Mohammed Al-magout" Using a descriptive-analytic method based on Farzan Sujoudi's theory, he has studied the layered element of the place and has examined how it is related to other symbolic levels. The semantic analysis of the place in the play is important in that respect that Based on this method one can examine the explicit and implicit function of the place element in identifying the hidden talents of the text and the secondary concepts related to the cultural, political and economic values of society. In addition, by presenting a new reading of the literary work, he expressed the influence of this element in explaining the possibilities of textual creation and by examining how it relates to other levels, it has played a role in shaping dramatic discourse. The purpose of this study is to explain the most important Symptoms of place and how they are organized, Describe the function of the cues mentioned in the formation of text encryption systems such as scene, personality, conflict and time. On the other hand, the impact of this system in place of the representations is described. The purpose of this study is to answer the following questions: How has the place code been linked to other markup levels? What characteristic and structural components do these passwords have in the aforementioned play? The results of this research indicate the place is formed in the form of a cryptocurrency layer consisting of numerous surfaces and deep-level structures. This layer contributes objectively and abstractly to the creation of dramatic discourse and the representation of social cultural meanings, sometimes it manifests physically on stage, sometimes its objective function is weakened and its mental aspects is enhanced. It can be said that understanding and interpreting space as a semiotic process is possible by studying how it correlates and interacts with the branding layers in the play. There is interplay between location and other layers. On the one hand, Place explicitly and implicitly promotes surfaces such as decor, light, sound, and so on. On the other hand, those levels have a great impact on the organization and selection of Place components.

Read More Style, in a general lexical sense, refers to the system and rules for expression in a specific literary genre. Literary style is a set of rules and standards that are distinguished by a literary character and that distinguish a literary text (poetry or prose) from other texts. A stylistic study is a systematic study of the structural elements and the way of formulating them to express the ideology of the literary text. Rashid Salim al-Khouri, known as Shair al-Qarawi, is one of the most prominent poets of the Mahjar — a literary movement started by Arabic writers who had emigrated to America at the turn of the twentieth century. His literary style is distinguished by the characteristics of migrant literature and this is clearly reflected in his poetry collection titled Homeland Poems. This paper employs a descriptive-analytical method to study the literary style in al-Khouri’s Homeland Poems; it analyzes different structures in his poetry, such as the lexical structure at its morphological, syntactic, and lexical levels, the musical structure at its internal and external levels, the rhetorical structure with its expressive capacities, and the semantic structure. The results express that Homeland Poems is characterized by employing a deviant style in the superstructures and substructures, and this is the result of the poet’s creative ability. These deviation can be seen in different lexical, semantic, rhetorical, and musical layers of his poetry. Lexical and semantic deviations include employing statements that suggest new meanings to serve the intended purpose musically and semantically. Rhetorical deviations include the use of simile and metaphor to do without traditional images and create new poetic images. Musical deviations include the liberation of the music from the traditional constraints with the re-experience of Andalusian poetry, and the change in the number of poetic syllables that leads to various poetic rythems.

Literary semiotics tries to discover the unknown of the world within the text by analyzing linguistic semiotics and understanding the semantic connections between the words of the poem. Charles Peircerevolutionized the semioticsby his three-dimensional model of symbol structure and provided literary critics with a precise scientific method for examining the semantic structure of poetry. Bassam Hajar is one of the poets of modern thought that death is one of the main concepts and themes of his poetry and most of his poems are dedicated to death and death thinking. Based on Peirce''s theory, this article tries to examine the process of making poetic symbols related to the concept of death in Bassam Hajar''s poem and recounts the unrevealed messages in the deep levels of his poems. The results showed that he has used aesthetic, author, temporal, spatial and collocations codes to produce poetic symbols related to the concept of death.The use of explicit meanings of his poems words has helped the reader to choose carefully the implicit meaning appropriate to the concept of death from countless implicit meanings, revealing the poet''s main purpose, ideology and contradictory feelings about death, which are incomprehensible in the first reading and uncovering the secondary layers of the text.

Read More Carnival, the dynamic center of joyful spirit of debate and libertarianism of people, always shows power in the face of the absolute thoughts, with its solubilization and making solutions. Literary representation of carnival tradition and the anti-ban spirit of folk festivals, later in the Caniavalesque literature in the form of several techniques such as parody, relativity and binary opposition, crowning/uncrowning, lower urban language, the Themes of Death and mask, and banquet imagery were manifested, each of which was an artistic carnivalized response to the spirit of one-sidedness and self-sufficiency of the authoritarian party. Bakhtin's narratology project in the analysis of Novel-tendent prose considers carniavalesque as the keyword of modern novel developments by emphasizing the exploratory method of this idea in beliefs constructed carnival. The importance of paying attention to carnivalesque literature from the perspective of Bakhtin's critical approach lies in its ability to study and re-read the strategies of these works in objectifying the Liberal tendency of anti-dogmatic modern narrative discourse. Relying on the method of descriptive-analytical research, by observing the examples of carnivalesque of the novel "The-Game-of-Forgetting" in the form of the above components, we try to measure the success of the Moroccan "Mohamed Berrada" in dialogizing his work and promoting the spirit of polyphonic democracy in Arabic novel writing. The study of the novel from the perspective of carnivalesque literature indicated That: Berrada, with methods appropriate to each of the components such as: desecration, degenerating the transcendent enumerated concepts, inversion and replacement of oppositions, refutation of perfectionism and pre-recognized bases of rulers; It overturns hierarchical norms and seemingly inviolable rank-oriented relations, and by emphasizing multipolarism, will centralize rejected discourses once again. It'll leads the audience to the status of subjectivity and knowing the state of polyphonic nature of the universe, in the shadow of democracy, and has ultimately made his novel a successful example of global carnivalesque literature with a local twist.

Read More Rashad Abushawar, as a Palestinian novelist who was cruel to the pain of the Palestinians and suffered under the yoke of the Israeli occupation, spared no effort in the struggle and struggle against the other, the occupying Israeli enemy. In it, the other who occupied the land of the Palestinian homeland and sought to destroy, ruin, demolish and remove the identity of the ego and draw the angles of this violent bloody conflict between them and the funeral scenes that occurred as a result of this dialectical relationship. On the other hand, this ego did not see a solution to defend its identity and land, no matter what and wherever it was, so it seeks to know the other, but by knowing itself first and then removing the sins from the other and his nature. These fanatics are manifested in Palestinian personalities who have been deprived of all their basic rights and are struggling to get out of the yoke of the occupying Other as they exert their efforts for freedom and independence and are martyred in this way, while the other is begging for all ways such as falsifying history, reversing the facts and creating propaganda that have no basis in money. To prove his rights and claims. This article seeks to study the dialectic of the ego and the other in Rashad Abushawar’s novel The al-Ushshaq, according to the descriptive-analytical approach, and it is a relationship of conflict and clash that the recipient realizes from reading the title, which is the “al-Ushshaq” of the land of Palestine who played the role of the ego in struggle against the other who deprived them of their rights. This title refers directly to The occurrence of an inevitable clash between the ego and the other, and some results indicate that the novelist painted a negative image of the Israeli other and all those who supported and sided with him in the occupation of the Palestinian homeland. Desirable for the Palestinian ego cooperating with the occupying other.
