براديغم "الميتا" عند حبيب بوهرور

Abstract EN

"Habib Bouherour" evokes terms belonging to the Genettian critical lexicon, i.e.

to the lexicon of textual transcendents such as "descriptive imagination", "meta-imagination", "meta-textuality", "meta-novel", "metalanguage","meta-narrative discourse", "metanarrative", "historiographic metafiction", "metafiction".

The question is: Why did this researcher use those terms that are radically linked to Genettian textual transcendents? This paper seeks, essentially, to preview the critical references, concepts and visions adopted by Habib Bouherour to link the following concepts: Genettian metatext, "metafiction" and "historiographic metafiction", which raises a problematic related to the ways that justify the meta-textual phenomenon on the basis of the concept of "metafiction", and justify also the "historiographic metafiction" by reference to the concept of "metafiction".

This research aims to examine two articles written by Habib Bouherour; the first is entitled: "Metatextuality in Arabic postmodernism literature", while the second is about: "the thresholds and the discourse of fiction in contemporary Arabic novel".

This examination starts from the following questions: - What are the indicators of the "Genettian metatext" definition? What are the reasons for generating metatextual types? - How can we adjust the relationship between the "Genettian metatext" and the "metafiction"? - How can we define and distinguish between "metafiction" and "historiographic metafiction"? - To what extent can we explain the metafiction phenomena on the basis of "metatext"? - To what extent can the "metafiction" explain the metatextual phenomena?
