Dubai, United Arab Emirates – The Mohammed bin Rashid Knowledge Foundation has published a collection of critical studies in the fields of poetry, storytelling, and texts. As part of the Dubai International Writing program, this initiative aims to enhance literary contributions.
This is part of the outcomes of the Foundation’s Dubai International Writing Programme.
The foundation continues to provide the Arab library with qualitative publications. These enrich the library and meet the needs of those interested and studying. Readers are looking for solid books that increase their knowledge. These books also strengthen their research, especially in the field of applied criticism.
Through his book “Transformations of the Poetic Experience,” Dr. Muntadhar Hassan Al-Hasani presents a critical study. It investigates the transformations of the emotional and artistic experience of the poet Hassan Ali Al-Najjar. This is done through a journey through his poems, visions, and the ideas he employed in his poetic themes.
The work contains a careful deconstruction of the code of meanings. These meanings encompassed the course of the word. It traces beyond the contexts of language in general, all the way to Al-Najjar’s distinctive poetic language.
Which may reveal meanings that differ on the surface, but they are united in purposes and visions.
As for the book “The Aesthetics of the Frame” by Ahoud Mansour Hijazi, it is a distinguished critical publication. It discusses the effect of frames on the beauty of the image.
It also shows its details and its compatibility with the space in which it resides.
The writer believes that texts, like images, never cease to be linked to their attachments. These are full of hidden meanings when their symbols are deconstructed.
The critic applies her ideas to the poet Ahmed Al-Mulla’s collection entitled “What a Huge Day”.
The analysis covers the overlap in the artistic painting formed by distinct poetic texts. It also involves drawings by a profound and delicate visual artist.
In the book “The Semiotics of Narrative Fiction”, writer Somaya Ali Rahif reviews a critical reading. It focuses on the structure of the short story in the collection “Tales of Our Mother the Tree”.
It is based on employing psychological and social details.
The aspects of ordinary current life are what make the story with its artistic fabric and suggestive or declarative connotations.
The writer believes that semiotics is best able to meet the ambition to encompass the symbolism of stories.
The analysis seeks to monitor the uniqueness and distinction of the storyteller. It researches the symbolism of intellectual and emotional expression. In doing so, it also contemplates the literary and aesthetic character.
When this approach is applied to a literary text, specifically to the art of storytelling, a form of careful and in-depth analysis emerges. This analysis reveals the text’s features.
