الأنساق الثقافية و صورة المرأة في " أخبار النساء" لابن الجوزي

Abstract EN

As perceived by culture, Woman and her ideal image formed a fertile and rich field for cultural criticism and feminist criticism researchers.

It is because the group imagination deliberately shaped several images of her going between the positive and the negative.

This research will address Woman's representations and her images in Ibn Al-Jawzi's book The Stories of Women “Akhbar al Nissaa”.

Furthermore, benefiting from cultural criticism and some mechanisms of feminist criticism, this research will delve into inherent cultural patterns behind the stories (akhbar) and tales of women.

It will suppose that masculine thought and the prominent culture had inspired its strength by relying on an artistic and esthetic discourse that is “al-khabar”, which conceals with its rhetorical tricks its cultural sentences that narrate in a sardonic way attracting and capturing the attention of the receiver.

This leads to the discourse passing its concepts and stances that earned their artistic legitimacy through firm literary traditions, andit contributes to in conveying masculine cultural concepts about women and the nature of traits with which women should abide or forsake in order to fit into the cultural whole.
