Read More Iconicity which represents the aroused link between a significance and a signifier, considers the language structure influenced by human's emotional perception from the outside world as a metalanguage factor. This principle is considering the sign of a cognition from the most important beautification elements and the most main tools of transmission of meaning in Nizar Qabbani's poem. In this regard, the present research is accomplished aiming to be characterized different levels of phonetic arousal in the poet's poems on an appendix from the highest to the lowest degree of clarity in the framework of phonetic symbolism theory by Hinton & et, al.The analysis of Qabbani poems based on the continuum proposed by Hinton and his colleagues is important because by relying on this method in an objective and coherent way and based on modern scientific principles, we can examine the phonetic significance of signs and determine their degrees of arusal. Explained the linguistic forms with their examples in real world; therefore, in the present stydy, we try to examine different types of arusal from the highest to the lowest degree of clarity in Qabbani poems according to Hintonˈs phonetic symbolism pattern and answer these qustions. Be: what are the types of principal signs in Nizar Qabbaniˈs poem? Can signs be placed on a continuum from the ultimate arusal to the ultimate symbolism? Dose the imagery of Qabbaniˈs signs and poetry contradict the principle of optional words? The research results represent that different kinds of phonetic symbolism in Qabbani's poem are: objective, imitative, combinational and conventional. The objective signs in the poet's poems include emotional sounds and expressions of interjection, surprise and ... contain the most level of iconicity. Then, sequentially, imitative symbols in the form of words, onomatopoeia, combinational signs which are observed in the form of vowel repetition or special correspondency, and conventional symbols which are formed with sequence of certain phonemes, are ranked in second, third and fourth position of the continuum.

Read More The psychological criticism is one of the novel techniques in literary criticism which tries to examine what is beyond the literary work in order to find the interconnection between art and the artist. The American psychologist, Abraham Maslow, believes that human beings need to grow, and to achieve this growth and development, they need to fulfill five steps of requirements including physiological, security, social, esteem and self-actualization needs. In fact, these needs help the individual accomplish the ultimate goal and first, lower level needs must be satisfied so that the person can reach higher levels and finally self-actualization. In this regard, the present research, through the descriptive-analytical approach, examines the protagonist of the novel Ayyām maʻah by Colette Khoury, the Syrian author based on Maslow’s theory. The novel is mostly indicative of Koury’s character and her society whose restrictions are the biggest obstacles to the growth and excellence of the women. Despite the obstacles, most of the women are trying harder to resist them in order to reach perfection for creativity and self-actualization. The results of this study indicate that the aforesaid novel matches the indices mentioned by Maslow for self-actualization. Most women and girls do not have the chance to develop and nurture their talents and capacity because of obstacles like irrational customs and traditions. The most obvious need of the protagonist is the presence of a supporter who can remove the obstacles to her growth and grant her wishes. Although she does not have all self-actualization components, having characteristics such as resistance to acculturation, problem-centeredness, acceptance of herself and others, creativity, simplicity, and being natural is a sign of self-actualization. She tries to reach the requirements in steps 4 and 5 of Maslow’s pyramid, and on this way, along with the resistance to the dominant culture, she reaches self-actualization by developing her talents like composing poems and playing music.

Read More Living in desert and not being permanently settled in one place have been the poetic features of the pagan Arab poets, especially Imro Al-Qais; The factor that has caused this movement and dynamism to be considered as a dominant element in their poetry, so that there has always been a kind of metamorphosis in their poetry along with the passage of time. In Imro Al-Qais’s Muallaqa, which is considered to be the foremost of ignorant poetry, parallel movement occurs in his poetry and becomes an effective element in the pictorial structures of the poem and also an important factor in its advancement, so that it can be claimed this dynamic element is the most important mortar of the coherence and continuity in his components of Muallaqa. An element that is born of the poet's realistic approach and his sensory view of nature and the result of his life balanced with the world around him. An inward-outward movement that originates from his inner feelings, gradually expands it into his out world, and finally connects the pulse of his romances to the paradigm shift of nature in the final images of the poem. In this way, the images of movement become an important and prominent element in the literary image of Imro Al-Qais's poet. The present study, which has been done in a descriptive-analytical manner and with the aim of creating a new look at illustration in the Imro Al-Qais’s Muallaqa, seeks to answer the question of what structures provided dynamic images in his poetry and how these structures achieve a general picture of movement and life were they effective in this poem? This study shows that the image of motion in the Imro Al-Qais’s Muallaqa is the result of the active presence of static and dynamic structures such as linguistic, rhetorical narrative components and also effective elements of time and place that referred to as structures images or pictorial structures. Structures that sometimes independently and sometimes in interaction with each other have made the general image of movement in his poetry stand out.

Read More The expression of postmodernism in written texts is not limited to content and subject matter; Rather, part of the postmodernist arrangement of literary works relates to the physical elements of the text, namely the page of paper, the lines, the letters, the words, and the margins of the text. These arrangements are made in line with the postmodernist principle of uncertainty and the creation of doubts and suspicions in the ontology of the audience. This leads to the confusion of genres, the collapse of the geometric order of the text and the creation of chaos in the traditions of writing and poetry, especially the arrangement of words and lines, as well as reducing the centrality of the main text and focusing on the margins of the text. Kamal Abu-Deeb, a contemporary Syrian poet, writer, and critic, is one of the figures in contemporary Arab literature who is particularly familiar with postmodernist thought. In the collection " Adhabat al-Mutanabbi fi Suhbat Kamal Abu-Deeb wa al-'Aks bi al-'Aks", he tries to rewrite the narrations, currents and various events of Mutanabbi 's life that have been mentioned in previous texts with a postmodernist mentality. The present paper tries to analyze these mechanisms and their role in creating meaning in the above collection based on the descriptive-analytical method. According to the author, this work does not fall into the category of fiction or poetry, because it is a combination of all literary genres and form-based arts. The results of the research show that in this work, Abu-Deeb tries to portray the tensions of his inner world and the philosophy of personal and social life in the Arab countries with an emphasis on postmodernist form-based tricks. By emphasizing form-oriented tricks, he intends to direct the audience's mind to the hidden angles of his story formation in order to challenge the great narratives at the visual level. To convey this message to the audience, he uses form-based mechanisms such as blank verse, painting, geometric shapes, vertical writing, parsing, and font change, each of which plays a prominent role in creating doubts in the mind of the audience about his real affairs and proven intellectual and epistemological patterns.

Read More Analysis of “ISIS Discourse” in “The Bird Tattoo” Novel based on Laclau and Mouffe’s Theory of Critical Discourse Analysis Abstract It has been about a decade that the apparently Islamic government of Iraq and Syria known as “ISIS” has played a role in Iraq. By forming a government, ISIS has tried to reconstruct the society and promote its own special discourse. Since the rise of any movement and phenomenon is manifested in literary realism, which represents social truth and life, the effect of ISIS on literary fiction in Iraq, the target point of this movement’s activism, is considerable. The main purpose of this study is to identify the discourse elements of ISIS, define central signifier, floating signifier, empty signifier, foregrounding and marginalization and determine the articulation of its discourse in “the Bird Tattoo” novel by “Dunya Mikhail” based on analytical-descriptive method and with reference to discourse analysis model by Laclau and Mouffe. This method has an immense capacity to define social-political phenomena. The results show that ISIS ideologic attitude relies on those interpretations that blend modernity. This “Islamic government” can be regarded as subspecies of “totalitarian” governments which by using power and culture of fear in the society, has formed all the educational, cultural, judicial, military, religious and political infrastructures based on the political and administrative Islamic heritage and history. The distinction between ISIS Salafi movement and previous movements is that it uses “propaganda” style for its advertisements and changes the form and content of its discourse.Analysis of “ISIS Discourse” in “The Bird Tattoo” Novel based on Laclau and Mouffe’s Theory of Critical Discourse AnalysisAnalysis of “ISIS Discourse” in “The Bird Tattoo” Novel based on Laclau and Mouffe’s Theory of Critical Discourse AnalysisAnalysis of “ISIS Discourse” in “The Bird Tattoo” Novel based on Laclau and Mouffe’s Theory of Critical Discourse Analysis Keywords: Critical Discourse Analysis, Laclau and Mouffe Theory, ISIS, The Bird Tattoo, Dunya Mikhail.
