الصحراء في العتبات : رواية الطرحان لعبد الله كروم أنموذجا : قراءة سيميائية

Abstract EN

Interest in the desert novel has recently increased in the literary and critical arena, as it has become the margin that seeks to displace the centrality of the city, and a narrative theme that bears the responsibility of sending beauty from under the sand dunes to the reader whose image of the desert was associated with emptiness, desolation, and thirst.

novels then appeared depicting the desert as an allegorical space that carries between its dunes the memory of place, time and man.

this study seeks to investigate the manifestations of the desert and how they appear through the textual thresholds in the novel Al-Tarhan by Abdullah Karroum, in a semiotic study that deconstructs the significance of these thresholds and interrogates them as being texts that are parallel to the text body which dialogue with the horizon of the reader's expectation and seduction, as they are linguistic signs and symbols that form the narrative discourse and define its identity.

they are linguistic signs and symbols that make up the narrative discourse and define its identity, and attract the recipient to dismantle its articulations to reach its essence, based on the fact that everything in the literary work has a sign that helps to understand the narrative body, and from this standpoint, these questions are formulated.

how was the desert employed in the thresholds? to what extent did it carry the semantics of the text?
