Résumé:
On the light of what was made available to the scholar
by research methodology, from the liberty through
which his introduction is expressed, I say: when we
have we have chosen the problematic of the other in the
novelistic discourse as a title, it has been done through
our intellectual and literary preoccupation. We have
started our research with enthusiasm, in spite of our lack
of experience since 2002, in our MA project “the
Feigning Self and in Modern Arabic Novel. As soon as
we tried to bridge the gap between the two milestones,
we found ourselves in front of a fact according to which
we are yet on the threshold. There is a new way of
writing to almost all forms of writing anxiety.
The subject matter of this thesis revolves around the
following study questions: how does the Other manifest
itself in the book of Elghitani? And to what extent does
he contribute in the narrative discourse of the story? and
if it really calls for adherence to the creative identity?
can we considered El Ghitani’s experience, through the
data and conditions and manifestations, as a writing of
deep authenticity stands at the other end, rejecting any
kind of alienation?
Today, a novelist like Djamel Ghitani comes out and
declares a new birth for the novelistic writing even
during the most bitter of the circumstances. This does
not mean before him there were no attempts of creative
writings, yet they, perhaps, entered into a trance, or was
carried by the currents of modernity. This fact has been
summed up by Faisal ¨Daradj in the part reserved to the
aesthetics of novelistic experimentalism in Djamel
Elghitani’s works in his book Theory of the Novel and
the Arabic Novel that Mohamed Moulihi wrote in his
speech, “The reality of Modern World”, in an inherited
language.
This is why we tended to explore the topic of our
research through its first chapter, “the Disparity of the
Other and the Agony of Novelistic Experimentalism”, to
decipher the subtle meaning that underlies the text of
Elghitani. Starting from the novelistic text in which he
displayed his exceptional artistic skills, we explore his
invocation of the historical mask in Elziani Berkat, his
undertaking of a system of schemes in his second text,
The Schemes of Elghitani, and the great impact of this
sort of art on the architect ring of the novelistic
structures to preserve the memories of place in the
imaginary after being annihilated by civilization.
Moreover, his book ElTadjaliat, which carries the scent
of poetic language that points to the erudite nature of the
write who explored the sophist patrimony till enabling
discourse to rich the threshold of greatness.
As long as the text Tadjaliat recalls other texts in which
it is infused aesthetically, we felt obliged to reserve the
second chapter for “The Discourse of the Other
(manifestations of intertextuality) and to display a short
account of the critical conceptualization of the general
meaning of intertextuality in old Arabic literary
criticism and how it was granted terms which were
dominated by the term denoting poetic stealing,
plagiarism. To avoid being like police investigators, we
gave up this idea while trying to exploit this
phenomenon in the writings of a novelist such as
Djamel El Ghitani, and specially his sophist texts,
namely Elfoutouhat el Mekia and the book of Iben EL
Arabi The Tadjaliat
