Civilizational Dialogue Between The Mashreq And The Maghreb Through The Art Of The Novel" Selected Models"
Authors : Harrath Imane .
Abstract
This study explores the theme of civilizational communication between the East and the West through the art of the novel, focusing on selected models from Arabic literature that engage with the image of the other and the dialectic of identity and difference. The study seeks to reveal how Arab novelists have represented the West and how these representations reflect complex relationships characterized by contradiction, hybridity, attraction, rejection, and cultural dialogue. By analyzing two key novels—Tayeb Salih's "Season of Migration to the North" and Inaam Kachachi's "The American Granddaughter"—the research highlights the extent to which the novel as a literary form has been capable of addressing the dilemmas of identity, belonging, and cultural hybridity in postcolonial and globalized contexts. The study adopts a descriptive analytical approach, relying on postcolonial theory and the theory of the image of the other, while drawing on the cultural criticism frameworks that focus on the dialectic of self and other, center and periphery, tradition and modernity.
