The Geopoetics Approach to Interpreting Travel Literature (in Arabic).
Auther : Mekki Saadallah
Contemporary Arabic criticism opens up to contemporary Western critical approaches (contextual and stylistic) in order to attract that which is masked. Through new readings and interpretations that transcend the stereotypes established according to classical standards, the meanings of signs are revealed. Studies and applied researches have proved the limitations of these classical standards and their inability to understand the aesthetic, conceptual, and structural components of texts.
Approaching a text from a Western critical perspective is regarded to be in line with the growth of globalization and the technological revolution in the worlds of communication and information, as well as with the new theories of reception. In light of the fact that the concept of the ‘Death of the Author’ had spread and gained popularity, these theories strive to respect the cognitive systems of the reader.
This research seeks to define the Geopoetic theory of the Scottish poet, Kenneth White, who resides in Paris, and its applications in Travel Literature, for this genre of literature deeply addresses topics of place, earth, and nature.
