تمثلات القبح : قراءة في رواية (عطارد)‎ للروائي محمد ربيع

Abstract EN

Ugliness is a thorny philosophical concept and an important aesthetic statement from postmodernism and its manifestations in art, literature, architecture, painting, sculpture, engineering and life in all its aspects.

This research aims to transcend the traditional view of the relations that exist between beauty and ugliness through its focus on the saying of ugliness and a statement and presentation of its representations in the narrative blog of the Egyptian novelist (Mohamed Rabie) entitled (Mercury) given that the novel is the art of life and human existence.

Thus, and in terms of its process, it reflects the details of its beauty and the faces of its ugliness at the same time.

Ugly, as philosophers believe, is an aesthetic value that is not without artistic pleasure.

We can feel its resonance in our reading of representations of ugliness in Arabic novels.
