TOWARDS A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING NARRATIVE STRUCTURE, VISIONS, AND FORM OF THE SHORT STORY IN ARABIC LITERATURE
Abstract
The narrative structure is a quintessential pillar within Arabic literature, establishing a nuanced and intellectual bridge that connects stories to their respective audiences. This exploration seeks to dissect the pivotal components of narrative structure vision and form each serving a distinct purpose. Vision, enveloping the author's philosophical and ideological lens, endeavours to articulate the underlying themes and worldviews the author seeks to convey. In contrast, form acts as the aesthetic medium through which vision is transposed, interlacing elements such as temporal-spatial orchestrations, character interplays, and event trajectories. In recent epochs, Arabic literature has undergone transformative shifts in narrative structures, welcoming innovative styles and methodologies that elevate storytelling, offering nuanced levels of engagement and suspense. Canonical texts, including “One Thousand and One Nights”, Naguib Mahfouz’s “The Cairo Trilogy”, and Taha Hussein’s “The Days”, illustrate multifaceted narrative structures that have permeated Arabic literature across generations. This dynamism extends to contemporary works that adeptly deploy evolved narrative elements—complexity, tension, and unforeseen plot twists—to perpetually captivate the reader’s interest. This article navigates through a multidimensional exploration of Arabic literature's narrative structures, identifying and deconstructing developmental stages—preparation, genesis, climax, and resolution. Within these stages, an array of storytelling techniques is judiciously employed to arrest and sustain reader engagement, successfully fulfilling the author's communicative and artistic aspirations.
