المتخيل الأسطوري و تحولات القص قراءة في قصتي (شمورامات)‎ و (قبل أن يذهب إلى مصيره)‎

Abstract EN

This research deals with the discussion of the myth as an epistemological structure constructed by the great questions of consciousness, which were formulated by human thought since its first formations.

As the myth accompanied man in his continuous struggle with nature and the cruelty of life, and it is the objective equivalent of man’s disappointments, or its the focus from which he sees the light.

Therefore, studying the myth is not an interpretation or textual explanation, and seeking for the meaning only, but also in the research for the aesthetics of the artistic work, and linking the text to its owner and collective conditions by dealing with the phenomena of texts not as individual phenomena, but as collective phenomena.

The impact of mythological thought was not limited to anthropological and social studies only, but also to the creative activity in all artistic and literary genres such as drawing, sculpture, dance, theater, cinema, television, poetry, story, novel,...

etc.

Its employment in fictional work constitutes an artistic and creative vision, and in this reading we will deal with two stories (Shamormat) and (Before he goes to his fate) from the (Scent of Cinema) group of short stories by Nizar Abdul Sattar, and we have separated them from the group because they differ from the rest one.
