مظاهر التثاقف و التفاعل الثقافي في الأدب بين إسبانيا و المنطقة العربية المغاربية

Abstract EN

Maghreb’s Arabic literature in the Maghrebi region intersects with the Spanish literature in the Iberian Peninsula, in terms of social and historical characteristics, due to cultural accumulations following the friction resulting from Islamic conquests, protectorate, immigrations, etc.

Therefore, translation movements between Arabic and Spanish languages in particular, had reached a remarkable boom, on which the terms Acculturation and Intercultural Interaction appeared.

We aim through this research paper, to specify each of them, clarify their effects and aspects in the Maghrebi and Spanish space.

The problem raises such questions as: What are the aspects of Acculturation and Intercultural Interaction in literature between Spain and the Arab Maghrebi Region alongside with their effects on (Arabic and Spanish) languages and culture? To what extent can translation be considered a motive for Intercultural Interaction? Descriptive-Analytical Approach was adopted as the study’s method, together with examples from a novel and a play selected on purpose, translated into Arabic.

The research concludes that acculturation takes place when a culture and a language melt into another and allow it to obliterate part of its characteristics, and when the Other Different is accepted to coexist and communicate with him/her within the framework of cultural influence
