الزمكانية في أدب الرحلة رسالة ابن فضلان و رحلة الغرناطي "أنموذجا"

Abstract EN

The complex relationship between self and other is examined through “Chronotope”/ “Time-space” a literary theory developed by M.

Bakhtin.

The connection between space and time is sculptured and expressed drawing attention to the concrete physical spaces in which stories take place, and how time forms the fourth dimension.

Spacetime analysis has unfolded many social, physiological, anthropological features.

This paper applies the Timespace theory on Arabic travel literature, two texts are included in a comparative fashion.

The first is a classical travel literary peace (Risalat ibn-Fadlan) written by ibn- Fadlan (921), while the second is a novel (Rihlat al- Ghirnati)(2012) by Rabi Jaber, the later creates a journey in search of an abducted bother in the year 1091.

Original findings have emerged from this analysis where the protagonist in the first text is found suffering from a superiority complex, while the protagonist in the second text is suffering from an inferiority complex and a constant feeling of guilt.

Both texts transcend into becoming literary pieces through fantasy, the freedom of dreams where time and space are fragmented, and experience is surr
