جدلية المرجعية الفكرية في النقد الأدبي العربي الحديث : أحمد ضيف نموذجا

Abstract EN

Arabic critical discourse in the Renaissance is filled with the controversy of the old and new European critical trends.

This controversy represents a state of conflict between two critical trends: The mimetic one that works to revive the critical Arabic heritage through reading, evaluating and judging the literary texts.

Among these mimetic critics are: Sayed Ali Al- Marsafi, Hussein Al-Marsafi, and Hamza Fathallah.

However, the second school is the innovative one, which is influenced by the European new visions and approaches to reading literature.

Moreover, it employs the natural sciences in presenting this literature and its genres to reflect the state of human society through the humans’ relationship with their environment, time, and race.

Ahmad Daif is one of the critics who call for new approaches, especially the historical approach which he learns in France.

He returns to Egypt to teach this new methodology in the Egyptian University to teach Arabic literature, especially Pre-Islamic Literature.

This research highlights Ahmed Daif’s critical experience for being a typical model for the modern Arabic critical discourse's profanation of the critical European one in terms of applying the derived views and ideas from this European speech on the Arabic one.

Moreover, this research sheds light on the importance of Daif's experience for its outstripping role in renewing the modern Arabic critical discourse.
