Abstract

This research, titled "The Poetics of Language in the Novel 'The Shadow of Aisha' by Mahmoud Hanafi Al-Sekandari," attempts a theoretical reading of the concept of (the term poetics) and the aesthetic and artistic connotations it carries, through the poetics of language, which is considered one of the most important topics in poetics for study and analysis in relation to the components of narrative. The contemporary narrative text is suffused with connotations and meanings, and by applying this to the novel 'The Shadow of Aisha' by the author Mahmoud Hanafi, we examine (the poetics of language in terms of the poetics of the title, the poetics of description (time, place, and characters), the poetics of imagery, repetition, language levels - the poetics of the narrative in terms of narrative form (narrative voice), type of narrative (secondary narrative), narrative style (personal narrative), the poetics of narrative characters, time (the contradictions of flashbacks and flashforwards, the tempo of time speeding up the narrative (summary - deletion), and disrupting the narrative (scene - pause), and space (open spaces and closed spaces)). This study serves as an applicative approach to the novel 'The Shadow of Aisha', due to its poetic language from a creative and skilled novelist, through which we can assert whether the language of a narrative text can be considered poetic.
