Read More The authors of the children's literature use this type of literature to teach religious teachings and social norms. The teaching of religious concepts, like any other science, requires the identification and application of correct, effective and effective principles and methods. Therefore, as the recognition of the characteristics and abilities of children in optimizing the teaching of religious concepts is certain. Understanding the principles and methods of teaching children's religious concepts is also necessary. Dialogue is one of the most important elements of fictional literature that works along with the narrative structure of the story. And the characters, the theme, the conflicts, and the overall design of the work is consonant. The writers of the story of the child are particularly interested in their artwork, and their works are closely intertwined with dialogue. This paper tries to examine the element of dialogue with the method of structuralist critique and based on the American School of Comparative Literature, emphasizing religious doctrines in the two stories of Little Blackfish by Samad Behrangi and al-Hadiqa al-Ajmal by Zahir Ibrahim Rasam. The results of the research show that among the various functions of dialogue, the advancement of fiction has the highest frequency in two stories and despite the parallels between the story of the little black fish and religious teachings such as helping others, dying, hatred of pride and lies, sometimes there are heterogeneities with religious teachings like not saluting, mocking others, beating and etc. but Abraham Rhyman brought his religious teachings more than a fairy tale in his story and it can be said that his story does not contradict the teachings of Islam and over the story of the little black fish is consistent with religious doctrines. in the case of a dialogue between animals and humans in two stories, too, in the story of the little black fish, dialogue between animals and birds has only taken place but in the story of al-Hadiqa al-Ajmal, the conversation is not limited to animals.

Read More Tahavvolat Al-Asheq poetry collection, has written by Adonis one of contemporary Arab poet. Adonis is one of the most prominent critics and literates of the world with his innovations and iconoclasm in Arabic poetry and critique. He composed and published the poetry collection Tahavvolat Al-Asheq in 1961-1965. During this time, Adonis was greatly affected by mystical and religious studies, and this period of time can be considered as the stage of poet's maturity and poetic perfection. He was affected by the opinions and thoughts of the nominated mystics, in particular, Abdul Jabar Neffari, Ibn Arabi and Sheykh Mahmoud Shabestari, to a certain extent that he published a magazine entitled "Moaghef". Al-mavaghef va Al-mokhatabat were some literary works of Neffari that were related to the spiritual progress, wayfaring and journeying of mystics and order of conduct. This poem is closely related to mystical and religious insights. In this article, relying on inductive approach based on the description and analysis, we explain the stylistic elements of Tahavvolat Al-Asheq poetry in different layers of literature and language. In this research, with an overview of this components in both literature and language, relying on clear specifications of poet poetic style, we analyzed the intellectual level and intellectual level has not been studied separately because poet`s thinking and mentality, consciously or unconsciously, has direct influence in language formation and literary levels. By examining the literature level we can regard him as most familiar remover among Arab poets and based on the obtained results with examining the language level (lexical frequency and repeating elements), since governing structure and content of the poetry has religious signs, Adonis`s poetic style is abstract, mind-oriented and use of mental and labeled terms as well as the use of mystery and myth, has neared poetry language to sufi language, thus causes its complexity and ambiguity. On the other hand, array replication in this poem, in addition to the rhythmic word is represents poet`s internal feelings.

Read More Intertextuality is a technique which has widely been used in contemporary Arabic poetry. According to the mentioned application and its high importance, critics have developed various definitions about it. Looking at the definitions of this concept by Western critics such as Roland Barth and Julia Kristeva, and Arab critics such as Abd al-Malik Murtāḍ, mohammad azzam, mohammad meftah, Abdollah al- ghathami and khalil mossa. we can say that they considered the concept as a methodological and structural phenomenon. However, this phenomenon has a practical function in the target text in contemporary Arabic poetry, in addition to its structural function. Therefore, the authors of this study, have sought to emphasize the practicality of intertextuality-rather than only seeing its structural role- by studying Qur’anic intertextuality in Mohammad Qaisi’s poems using a descriptive-analytic method. It is concluded from the findings of the research that the poet used the Qur’anic words or verses consciously as a means of referring the reader to the text of the Quran and subsequently confirming his own claims. Thus, by reversing the relationship and using the Qur’anic verses in a contradictory sense, such as the use of images showing hope within an atmosphere of frustration and despair, he illustrates the depth of the disaster. On the other hand, using the verses which represent the awakening, the warning and the condemnation of the oppressors and the unbelievers, he tries to wake up the Palestinians and other Arab nations, describing their enemies and condemning them. So it can be said that the poet has used the intertextuality technique in four main directions: creating a revers relationship and using Qur’anic images in a contradictory sense, using Qur’anic images expressing dead incitation, using Qur’anic images to describe the oppressors and unbelievers, and using Quarn’aic images which reflect awakening and preaching to arouse the Palestinian nation and other Arab nations.

Read More Revived the ancient literature and referring to the culture and history in contemporary poetry and its modern employing is one of the techniques of contemporary Arab poets that has a special occasion with the literary theory “intertextual”. Wahab al-Bayati is one of the poets of the culture and literature of the Arabs ignorant who has used his poetry. This analytic approach to literary expression Bayati's poetry has generally ignorant of the meaning of culture and literature, poetry, myths, ideas, customs, proverbs and declared places that are depicted in the poem. The findings of the present study is that some of the Sakha and forgive the ignorant Arab customs, some of their ideas as "arrogant Albian" in some ways a poem like "The Atlal conscious" and places mentioned in the announcement, some multiplication Bayati's poetry has found expression in poetry and the ignorant proverb and in most cases, the experience of the poem, and poet associated with the deployment has been successful ignorant and rude. The most striking aspect of this link, wandering in deserts and separation from the beloved poet is ignorant Bayati life experiences as a poet wandering away from her lover (native) has to interact. Among the poets ignorant, Bayati most attention Tarafeh Ben Alabd has left behind is like wandering life. In fact, Bayati has been able to reveal the culture of Jaheli as an Arab heritage in contemporary poetry, and revive some of Jaheli’s culture and customs in his poetry. Referring to the ignorance and prejudice of Arabs in Jaheli era, he uses the Jaheli's wars to eliminate contemporary prejudices from the thoughts of the readers, thus pointing to the crushing (grinding) of the people in under the rubble of these wars. The poet also intends to keep alive some ethical issues such as loyalty, forgiveness so that modernity does not separate the Arab from its past, which in its belief has been brilliant in the past.

Read More The last years of the twentieth century were the end of a period in Arabic poetry where poets were using clear or mysterious symbols to express their views. Yet the new period in Arabic poetry, made it possible for a mainstream in Arabic poetry, and poets tends to resort to simplicity and avoiding symbolic language as they offer noticeable vision relevant to facts of life with reservation of humane poem. However, the current era paved the way an Arab poetry, namely simplicity and avoidance of the symbolic language of ambiguity, as poets provide a vision associated with life realities while preserving the humane message of poetry. On the other hand, the evolution of relationship between human consciousness on the one hand and between art and literature on the other has deepened the meanings inherent in literary works, where we feel an attempt to present meanings more simply than before. This relationship helps facilitate the introduction of this human consciousness first, while influencing the expansion of vision in the field of poetry at the same time; and also contributes to the development of literature and poetry. One example of this claim is contemporary Syrian poet Maram al-Masri’s poetry. Masri has a new and varied face in the meaning. Maram Al-Masri, a Syrian poet, is considered a poet who tries to enrich readers with life experience as a woman in her poems specifically in "Looking at You." So we can analyze these series as a feminist poetry also, we are going to analyze it in accordance with the views of the existentialist feminism for "Simone de Beauvoir”. The results show that the poet was able to express her Eastern and Western experiences utilizing easy language while maintaining the technical framework in a different space. Also poet tries to visualize these experiences in her poems. Expression of despair of active presence of women in society and life, the identity crisis, social concerns and search for the establishment of unity between itself and other is one of the main axes in the reflection of experience of the poet.

Read More In cultural discourse, a caricature has a special role in contemporary world and specially in political and social issues it is preferable to written cultural. There is no doubt that the influence of visual displays and the inspiritual meanings of caricatures, is higher than the written and audience mysteries and concepts. The Palestinian case and the artists who have used their art and his moral obligation to show the pain of this nation, are manifest in caricatures of Naji Al- Ali, the Plestinian caricaturist. Naji Salim Hussain al-Ali was a Palestinian cartoonist, noted for the political criticism of "Israel" in his works. He born on 29 August 1987 in the Palestinian village of Ash Shajara and On 22 July 1987, al-Ali was shot in the neck and mortally wounded. Naji al-Ali died five weeks later in Charing Cross Hospital. Many people belive that the intelligence agency of Israel "moosad" killed Al Ali. Al Ali's cartoons were drawn from his experience as a Palestinian refugee since childhood and clearly reflected his political stance,which was often critical of the Arab regimes. He has been described as the greatest Palestinian cartoonist and probably the best-known cartoonist in the Arab world. He is perhaps best known as creator of the character Handala, pictured in his cartoons as a young witness of the satirized policy or event depicted,and who has since become an icon of Palestinian defiance. Handala has also been remarked that "He was the arrow of the compass, pointing steadily towards Palestine. Naji Al-Ali used only simple lines and traces to depict his ideas and thoughts onto paper. His works and thoughts were impressive and unusual.The intertexuallity is used in Ali’s cartoons structurally, in plan of cartoon or in one or a few words. He used another kind of technique by combining the plan and text. Al-Ali tried to use the nation’s acceptable themes that lead the viewers and readers to understand Palestinian pain and suffering. Naji Al- Ali used the historian, religious and folkoloric intertextuality and world calture and applied the contrast, surprise, question, satire and other techniques.
