Read More Abstract One of the most prominent features of the self, regarding the innate dimension and identity, is manifested through the negotiation and encounter with the other as an effective and opposing element. Cultural and civilized encounter and relationship with the other, firstly depend on the nature of the self, its problems with the other, and on the problems of the society in which it lives. Therefore, the other is reflected and manifested through establishing communication with the self. This communication might be demonstrated in various forms, for instance, a positive and friendly interaction, negotiation and dialogue, or dialectic. Whatever this communication is, it results in leading the self to the manifestation and interpretation of itself. The poems of Ezzeddin al-Manªsserah are the vast realm of the manifestation and emergence of the self and the other and the interaction and dialectic between them. The reason for this feature of his poems is that he is rejected by his country at a young age and lived in another country for a long time where he had close relationship and interaction with the other and has portrayed various types of the other in his works. In this study, after reading Ezzeddin al-Manªsserah’s poems in the area of resistance literature and through emphasizing on imageological concepts and applying descriptive-analytical method, the image of the self and the other in al-Manªsserah’s works were investigated. The results demonstrated that Ezzeddin al-Manªsserah has depicted the self in three different types, including individual, group, and human, in most of his resistance poems. Particularly, the individual type of the self is manifested more than the other types in his poems. Moreover, he has portrayed the other in two types, namely the stranger and opponent other and the fellow other which is merely in disagreement with the self about beliefs. However, it is important to note that the other has not been depicted vividly and independently in his poems and cannot be addressed.

Read More Polyphonic narrative technique (multivocality) appeared remarkably and manifestly in Modernism and Postmodernism, because unlike the classical novel, it is dependent on the diversity and multiplicity of narrative perspectives that eliminates the dominance of the novelist and the omniscient narrator, and allows the views of different characters to be appeared in the way that characters are able to express their intellectual and emotional potentials freely and extensively. The polyphonic narrative technique represents different patterns of consciousness and diverse ideologies that are democratically appropriate to the complexities of the modern age and their effects on the narrative structure of modern novels and other elements. The addition of fictional characters leads to the multiplicity of text levels, the mobility and dynamics of characters, the exchange of roles, and the development of the meanings of narrative discourse, that gives the novelist freedom and ability to hide behind the mask of their characters, thereby removing monotony (Immobility) and static of text. Russian critic, Mikhail Bakhtin, is the first to refer to the "polyphonic narrative" by studying the works of Dostoyevsky, who cares about the complicated and diverse aspects of contemporary man's psychology and social life. In this regard, using a descriptive-analytical method in the light of Bakhtin's theory, the present study tries to analyze this issue and express the most important features of Polyphonic narrative in the novel "The Desolate Time" (al-Zaman al-Mūhish) by Syrian novelist Haidar Haidar. One of the most important results of this study is that this novel reaches the principle of polyphonic technique through dialogue and dialectics of characters with different and heterogeneous voices using techniques and mechanisms including: the multiplicity of ideologies, narrative perspectives and artistic methods can be setting, hybridisation, parody, stylisation, and expressive forms that reflect the internal and external crisis of characters which symbolizes the Arab community.

Read More Most of the Eastern people who have traveled to the West have been fascinated by the progress of the West. Thus. they mainly turn aside from the East and its cultural manifestations and try to compare the East and the West to conclude the cultural superiority of the latter. Although such a comparison comes along with some factual details. it shows essentially the fascination of these people with the West and the way they exaggerate in expressing its cultural development. This article is an effort to make a comparative study of Mirzª Sªleh Shirazi’s Travelogue and Rifa’a Al-Tahtªwi’s Takhlis Al-Ibriz from Egypt based on the Slavic school and elaborate on the conflict between the oriental “Me” and the Western “Other”. The results show that both writers believed that the despotic political system. illiteracy and widespread ignorance and superstition were the main reasons why Eastern countries were left backward and undeveloped. Moreover. the research shows that Mirzª Sªleh was more fascinated with the European culture and civilization than Rifa'a al-Tahtªwi. though the latter endeavored to describe impartially the West in its positive and negative features. Finally. Rifa'a al-Tahtªwi's language and literary style and objective description are more solid and effective than those Mirzª Sªleh Shirªzi. Tahtªwi depicts the West with his strong literary style and exaggerates it in his articles but implicitly refers to the East's preference for the West in its aspects of civilization. civilization and culture in its lines of journeys. and tries to convey to the Egyptian or Arab interlocutors that it is necessary to look for the causes of its ancient civilization in its rich heritage Taking advantage of the civilization of the West. especially the French. Mirzª sªleh is also an exaggeration in the portrayal of the Westerner and his exaggeration in mentioning his material to the Eastern Iranian nation. The book of Mirzª Sªleh Shirªzi’s Travelogue is characterized by the positions and stories of the owner and his meetings and dialogues and discussions with others and the incidence of accidents and surprises and joys and sorrows. while introducing Rifa’a Al-Tahtªwi’s Takhlis Al-Ibriz on such things and was more likely to be an analyst describing without going into the positions and stories that were presented on his trip.

Read More Defamiliarization is considered as one of the manifestations of the modern linguistics that deals with removing the monotony and Defamiliarization from the standard language as well as methods of using language in literary works. Hence, it is considered a Defamiliarization of the speech from its usual pattern, which is crystallized in the composition and formulation of speech Which is subject to the principle of selection which creates different connotations It breaks through the law, where the first signifies the possibility of multiple meaning. Accordingly, not consider just a communication tool, rather, the poet is guided through his employment to the aesthetic and the extension of the significance of the poetic achievement to enter into the circle of creativity and novelty. The present paper is an attempt to analyze the indicative Defamiliarization and its manifestations and reflections in the poetry of the contemporary Jordanian poet, Ayman al-Atūm, who is one of the resistant poets against Zionist Regime. Applying this technique, the poet tries to pass the standard language and to leave it behind; the language that is disable from expressing his emotions and feelings which are mixed with his soul. Relying on the stylistic method, this study aims at analyzing this subject in the poetry of this contemporary Jordanian poet. Finally, the study came to this conclusion that the poet has used this technique within his poems to show his psychological suffering, poetical experience and emotions; accordingly, he has applied Defamiliarization as a strong tool to change meaning, highlighting the concepts, and getting released from the domination of language on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is used to rebel against standard language and the ruling political system his poetic text makes a special language different from the familiar language.The most important representations of indicative Defamiliarization in his poetry include metonymy, metaphor, simile and irony.

Read More The symbols linked to the world of dreams and consciousness are considered the psychological issues which are functioned in the plot of modern novel. Then, modern novel is a kind of interior monologue by the characters who are expressing non coherent ideas from their past and present which is called stream of consciousness. This is a narrative device that attempts to give the written equivalent of the character's thought processes, either in a loose interior monologue or in connection to his or her actions. This writing is usually regarded as a special form of interior monologue and is characterized by associative leaps in thought and lack of some or all punctuation. The stream of consciousness and interior monologue are distinguished from dramatic monologue and soliloquy, where the speaker is addressing an audience or a third person, which are chiefly used in novel. in stream of consciousness, also known as interior monologue; which is a narrative mode or device that depicts the multitudinous thoughts and feelings which pass through the mind. the novel “Mᾱ tabaqqᾱ lakum” (what is remained for you) by Qassᾱn Kanfᾱni and “Shᾱzdeh Ehtejᾱb” (Prince Ehtejᾱb) by Hooshang Golshiri are narrated by of stream of consciousness and this technic is seen in the prementioned novels in the influencing of concerns and activeness of tension in the dreams and the psychological damaged in the characters of story. Qnfani in this novel deals with the issue of occupation of Palestine while Golshiri presents a person (Shazdeh Ehtejab) who is at the verge of dying. The two novels had the common points in plot, so the characters in both, are concerned to their own interior world to such an extent that the dispersed ideas of the character are dominat on the narration. This research at first, aimes to put light on the style of stream of consciousness in the two novels and clarify how the authors could make themselves free from the criterias of the common plot. The second aim of research is comparing the contents and mental actions of narration. The result indicates that the function of stream of consciousness in the both novel is same in general. But in details there are some differences like the time of the novel Shazde Ehtejab is during one night and the addressed ones, during the novel, become aware of the past of the main character by following the dispersed narration presented. and the content time is intertwined with the mental time. Bothe novelist doesn't present themselves directly in the novel and characterization but take a neutral positon in actions of story, so the characters have the main role in narrating of story and the main narrator is free in telling the actions of novel without accepting any intervention from outside of novel.

Read More This article investigates the meaning of the symbols of resistance in the poem of Mohammad al-faitūri (1936). The poet has used many symbols and signs for his warrior purposes. and has sought to invade the Arab real existance of the Arab world through the Arab magnificent and brilliant past from the ravaged and repressed contemporary world. and liberate it from its long-awaited pudle life to promote and guide the Arab community through these symbolic components. From this point of view, we can say that these symbols in his poem are full of inspirational themes and deep implications of internal text, and as a result, numerous interfrence of these symbols and encodings can be presented; By investigating his poetry it can be find that he is cleverly try to link his Islamic and Arabic society heritage to the conflict in the contemporary world. This discussion begins with the preconditions that are required in accordance with the principles of modern writing. Then. they deal with different symbols of resistance and their artistic alloys in faitūri's resistance poetry; so far, we divide these symbols into five main sections: 1. Religious symbols 2. Historical symbols 3. Mystical Symbols 4. Urban and national symbols 5. Sparse symbols that can not be categorized as single title. This article with a descriptive-analytical approach aims at precede the symbols of the axis and objects with the focus on the most important properties of the symbolic elements of faitūri's poetry. Most noteworthy achievements in this article are that the poem of faitūri goes beyond the borders of Africa and his issue is not only Africa but also includes all Muslim nations. In the poem of resistance he has used religious and historical figures cities and various countries to express his revolutionary thoughts. these symbols have played an important role in provoking the spirit of revenge and in ignite the flames of resistance in the sentiments of the public. The symbols used in faitūri's poetry are often proportional to the problems that experienced by Arab countries to the extent that they are inspire by these symbols in the fight against autocratic and authoritarian regimes.

Read More Pluralism is rooted in the long history of Arab thought, as in the Abbasid era, to the extent that its consequences were manifested in the emergence of contradictory ideas, parties and personalities engaging with one another in order to attain power by exploiting religion and ethnicity. Contractions that often did not have any rational logic beyond them but only to achieve power. In this way, we sometimes see the emergence of intellectual and sometimes reactionary thoughts. The dialectic was conducted in a narrow worldview focused on "self" and the commemoration of "me" and the "other" rejection in a closed loop. A discourse that was fueled by power struggles, religious and ethnic affiliations, the rise of tribal strife and, ultimately, civil wars. But in the contemporary era, the link between thought and civilization and science provided the basis for using the intellectual achievements of the world for Arab thought to establish a rational link between tradition and modernity in the Arab world. Just as the atmosphere of an open contemporary discourse, in line with the new needs, provided the ground for emancipation from the absurd thoughts and long-suffering ideas that had long been shadowed by the collective thought of the Arabs. Though today, this idea is facing obstacles and challenges, it is in line with modernity and its positive and negative consequences. So its manifestations can be seen in the thoughts of the intellectuals of the Arab world in many countries and undoubtedly its implications in the social sphere of the Arab world will be reflected and found, so that the Arab Spring can be considered part of the intellectual outcomes in the Arab world. The present article seeks to use the descriptive-analytical method of contemporary Arab thought and how the emancipation of such scholars as Aedounis, Mostafa Hejazi, Hassan Hanafi and others from the fatalistic self-centeredness of their era, which had destroyed all the modernist effects of the past.
