تجليات القارئ و دوره في رواية الدومينو لسعد سعيد

Abstract EN

The theory of reading and receiving is one of the most important approaches to the modern critical lesson that has drawn the attention of critics and researchers alike.

Due to its importance in Western and Arabic studies, and its rarity in Arabic studies, we decided to adopt it in our research entitled (The Reflections and Role of the Reader in the Novel Dominoes by Saad Said).

It looks into the reader’s role in the novel and how it attracts the readers’ attention.

The research aims at clarifying the mechanisms and means adopted by the writers to include the reader within their creative works.

The research question or its hypotheses appear in the extent of his existence, authority and impact on receiving literary works.

The study assumes the inclusion of the narrative discourse of the role of the reader in the Iraqi novel represented by the novel Dominoes by the writer Saad Saeed as a model and through which the limits of the study appear.

The research starts with an introduction in which we talked about the emergence and development of reading theory in the West and in Arabic.

The study falls into two sections- the first came under the title (Reader Assisting Concepts) to clarify the most important concepts of reading theory such as the concept of the implicit reader, range of expectations, the roving viewpoint, and how to apply of these concepts procedurally to the novel under study.

The second section entitled (Reader Textual Strategies) is to touch upon the reader’s role in the novel, through several means, including thresholds, beginnings and endings, and then we concluded the study with a conclusion followed by a list of sources and references.

The value of the research appears in that it is the first study that took the reader as a research theme to show his/ her role, critical authority and creative impact.

The fruits of the research appear to draw the attention of researchers to this type of studies, which we hope, will be a key to other future studies that seek to expose the reader’s role in the Arabic narrative of all kinds, and here lies the fruits of research.
