المقامات وإشكالية التجنيس الحديث: المقامة الموصلية لبديع الزمان الهمذاني أنموذجا

الملخص EN

This piece of research seeks to clarify the uniqueness of the maqam as a text, since it is different and distinct from other known literary genres in its time.

The presence of various literary styles, such as proverbs, pieces of wisdom, poetry, and events, has been remarkable through Almaqama, where dramatic actions are clearly noticed.

Hence, it has been decided to choose the Maqama of Mosul by Badí’ al-Zaman al-Hamadhaní as a model suitable for analysis and application, in order to keep track of the different styles that exist in it.

It was discovered that the dependence on various literary styles, from which the maqama has benefited, was a smart decision, since this overlap has contributed to creating a new literary genre known and mastered by Arabs.

Consequently, this article sheds light on the major aspects that concern the main components, techniques, and methods which gave the maqama its distinction over other literary genres.

This article also concludes that the components and techniques, which the maqama consists of, have served as the early beginnings of the short story, drama, as well as other literary genres in Arabic literature.

This article remains an attempt to study literary classic texts in a way that suits modern criticism, hoping for further research to follow this trend in an attempt to shed light on our literary heritage in the modern period.
