Abstract
The deconstruction trend, which began independently with the ideas of Jacques Derrida, revolves around the urgency of rebuilding the text after a devastating demolition. Derrida's style in his literary criticism is based on deconstructing the text on the basis of destroying the certainty of meaning and the centrality of fixed semantics rather than being aimed at rebuilding the text. However, with the entry of this movement into the Arab world and its resurgence in the bosom of Abdullah Al-Ghadami's works, this trend found new life and was based on rebuilding the text as the most important artistic function of literary criticism. Within the aforementioned, poetic suggestion and inspiration can be considered the main catalyst for the realization of this propaganda. In this research, depending on the descriptive-analytical approach, the role of suggestion in enriching the deconstructive approach was studied under the shadow of Abdullah Al-Ghadami's actions in the book AI-Kateia and Takfir. The results indicate that this element provides remarkable developments in this approach, including: coherence of interpretation and writing, delving into the problematic, destroying the text and reconstructing it as a literary text, the poeticity of the reader, Change the speech style.
Extended summary
In the last era, in the field of literary criticism, certainty was denied and forced and replaced with doubt and lack of certainty in meaning. There is no doubt that doubt and the destruction of certainty is not just a challenge to the literary text , but rather what is seen is the collapse of the literary text, its dismantling, and then its arrangement again on the basis of the principles of a new critical approach. With the introduction of this idea to the Arab world and its resurgence under the works of Abdullah Al-Ghadhami, emphasis was placed on the aesthetic aspects of the literary text, such as the music of words, and the use of metaphors, similes, to rebuild the literary text after its destruction under the deconstructive idea. Meanwhile, there is an essential element that plays an active role in the use of these tools, as this element is considered a driving factor and these tools are media used to create a new text resulting from deconstructive reading. This force and basic element are nothing but poetic suggestions and inspirations. This internal tool is used in the text to create a unique semantic space in the literary text.
In this study; Relying on deconstructive critical foundations; The effectiveness of this element to renew the literary text is being studied. at the same time; The achievements brought about by this element in the literary text are discussed with a focus on Al-Ghudhami’s views in the book: “Sin and Atonement from Structuralism to Anatomicalism.” What is important in Abdullah Al-Ghadhami’s critical works is his focus on the practical aspect and application to literary examples in criticism. In this regard, his special interest in the factor of poetic inspiration occupies a special place in his critical approach. To achieve this goal, Al-Ghadhami first divided the literary text into smaller components called poetic sentences. Then, by merging these poetic sentences with the reader’s scientific repositories that may be the result of reading other texts that he has read before and are still in his imagination, and also by using emotional experiences and cultural influences, the reader reconstructs the text anew with a context that may be completely different from what the writer first wanted. By observing this element in small components and linking it to deconstructing meaning, we reveal its importance and the secret of its beauty to generate new meaning.
He mentions several factors to evoke and activate the element of suggestion in reading the text, and among these factors are: balance and good choice of words, illusion and failure to dissect the moral intent, separating the signifier from its meaning, polarizing the effect, and quotation. It is also believed that there are artistic characteristics that occur during the deconstruction of the text by relying on the element of suggestion, such as: cohesion of interpretation and writing: given that the relationship between the reader and the text is an existential relationship; Because the reader, according to his psychological feeling, casts a shadow over the text, so that a different interpretation and context occurs in every reading, and the reader’s interpretation is what gives the literary text an artistic characteristic. Involvement in the problem: The literary text always opens the door to presenting multiple explanations, interpretations, and meanings in different contexts, by activating its suggestive energies according to each reader and during each particular reading. It enables the reader to provide multiple explanations, interpretations, and meanings, just as the reader also has his own spiritual states and meanings stored in His mind causes the text to become a spacious world for the wandering of contradictions and multiplicity in meaning and truth, and the destruction of centrality. The text is transformed from a literary work to a literary text: With this view, the way the literary text is interpreted and analyzed differs. So, we liberate the text from the fence of positivistic and arbitrary connotations (as Al-Ghadhami puts it) and place it before a broad horizon of meanings and concepts emerging from different contexts. Poetic reading: Al-Ghadhami, as a deconstructed critic, looks at the literary text with the belief that the text itself is not very important. In fact, it is the reader who gives him a new spirit in every reading.
