أفق التوقع، و خلق التماثل من اللاتماثل : قراءة في المحايثة و التأويل

Abstract EN

The concept of Expectation’s Horizon, or, Horizon of Waiting, has a central place to Reception Theory.

It is an aesthetic concept that plays an influential role in the process of building artistic and literary work.

The reason for assimilation is that the recipient accepts work and expects something.

Literary work often carries to the reader a set of data that forms a pattern of expectations and signs that are embedded in literary work as a result of being influenced by other texts which, belonging to the same literary streams creates in his reader a certain pattern of reception and pushes him to recall his previous experience on the texts which he has already read.

The reader is no longer a consumer part of the meaning of the text and the intent of the author, however, turns into an actor of the process of producing meaning.

Of course, this structure predicts a real reader able to interact with the textual effects.

Hence, the implicit reader is in permanent achievement, and, verification; he integrates fully the act of reading.
