حقيقة الميول الاستشراقية عند كارل بروكلمان في دراسة الأدب العربي

Abstract EN

This article attempts to discuss some of Brockelamann's concepts aboutThe Arabic literature in his multi-volume BGeschichte der arabischen Litteratur" and examines the body of thought produced by this great scholar.

During a long and serene life as a scholar Brockelmann produced a wealth of fundamental publications that determined the direction of orientalism, from cuneiform studies to the political and literary history of the most recent periods, for generations to come.

His monumental output represents, more than that of any other scholar, the unity of oriental studies in his time.

It in no way detracts from his central significance that, as a result of expansion and accompanying specialization, the field has since been subdivided into numerous more restricted disciplines.

Although research will continue to become more intensively focused, nevertheless the framework first laid down in Brockelmann’s encyclopedic studies will remain essentially unchanged.
