Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the critical issues addressed in Alamat fi al_Naqd, focusing on modernity as a key critical perspective in Arab literary discourse. It examines how the research published in the journal engages with literary modernity, including linguistic deviation, stylistic deviation, geometric forms, and the deconstruction of traditional hierarchies. Additionally, the study highlights the journal's role in enriching Arab criticism by adopting an advanced modernist discourse while maintaining a critical dialogue between heritage and contemporaneity. It also underscores the journal's efforts to foster a modernist critical consciousness that embraces interpretive possibilities and deconstructs dominant traditional discourses.
The study begins with a theoretical framework on the concept of modernity and its manifestations in both Western and Arab contexts. This is followed by an applied section analyzing four critics who published their studies in the journal, exploring the theme of modernity and its impact on Arabic poetry through their critical works.
