سيميائية العنوان في رواية "الآن-هنا أو شرق المتوسط مرة أخرى" لعبد الرحمن منيف

Abstract EN

The title is one of the formal components that contribute to the engineering of the literary text, and it is included in the constituent elements of its external space, and studying it is not a critical luxury, but rather an important step in the analysis of literary discourse due to its intent.

the title is the key to the text, and it has a very important role in defining it, and giving it illuminating connotations that explain the creator's vision and support the reading sense of the recipient.

literary and critical studies have given great attention to the title, as it is an artistic and cultural phenomenon, as it is an integral part of the textual college, with structural functions in relation to the external structure of the text and other indicative in its relationship to the narrative material.

Arab novelists were plastic artists in their drawing of the titles of their novels, as they chose their words with great awareness and care, carrying them with a symbolic energy and a highly focused expressive load that pulled the reader and motivated him to read the text in order to reveal its connotations, aesthetics and artistic values.

as for semiotic reading, it looks at the title as an essential element in establishing the kinetic text of the text, as it constitutes the threshold of the text through which we can enter its world.

the text without a title lacks identity, and the title of the text is like the name of a thing, with it is known, thanks to it circulates, and contributes to its engineering.

Elements : the creator, the text and the recipient, to which is added the subject that the fiction works to convey to the recipients, and thus the depth of critical awareness of the reader.

this is what we will discover through our semiotic reading of the novel's title : “now ...

here or the Eastern Mediterranean again” by Abd al-Rahman Munif, because of the aesthetics and artistic values that this Arabic narrative text abounds in.
