مجالس الأدباء و دورها في تفعيل الممارسة النقدية

الملخص EN

The study tackles literature sittings and casts light on their role in enforcing the critical practice.

these gatherings had a role in founding Arab literary criticism and establishing its tenets.

indeed, the Arabs' markets and their feasts were an expansive space to elucidate and exchange the literary view.

therefore, the study tries to focus on the main critical periods and some critical attitudes that have prevailed in the literary sittings since the era of ignorance (the pre-Islamic era).

however, the study is not a historical or a chronological review of the phenomenon ; it is rather a research into this different genre of criticism that some scholars characterise as complimentary and mild lacking the rigour and the objectivity of criticism, while others consider effective.
