جدل الوافد و الموروث السرديين في "قلب الرجل" للبيبة هاشم

Abstract EN

This study addresses the centraI issue concerning the dialectical relationship between the respective heritages of the Arabic and mod- ern Western narrative and its influence on the beginnings of the Arabic novel.

The study develops along several axes.

The first describes the problematic issues in the XIXth century and identifies the extent of their influence on the formation of modern Arabic literature, particularly the novel.

The second suggests what may be called the "three-dimensional analysis ” of that period's texts, such a Labiba Hashem's novel “Qalb al Rajol".

This novel was first considered in his historical development, as a link in one of many well-established textual chains.

It was then put into a framework that is parallel to the classical narrative Arabic texts that were written toward the same time and with the same aesthetic concerns.

Finally, Western aesthetic influence is tracked and identified, along with its contribution to the progress of Arabic narrative writing within the context of the modern Arabic novel.
