Defamiliarization / Estrangement in Nabil Abd-Alkarim's Short Story Collection Beautiful Pictures (Al-Suwar Al-Jamilah) (original) (raw)
This paper highlights artistic techniques in Nabil Abd-Alkarim's short story collection Beautiful Pictures which represents common and familiar issues at the level of reality and in literary studies. The paper relies on Shklovsky's concept of "defamiliarization" to examine the role techniques play in estranging familiar and recurring topics that have already become automatic and ineffective. Artistic techniques aim to reintroduce these topics to the human understanding in a unique and unusual way, so they look new, as if the person gets to know them again. The paper highlights a number of artistic references in the collection that reflect the cognitive awareness upon which they are based, as they belong to the imagination even when they deal with realistic issues. Then, it studies "defamiliarization" in the collection at the level of language, and it focuses on its intensification, its wide dependence on images, the use of details, and the resulting ambiguity. The paper also tackles "defamiliarization" at the level of characters, as they appear in the collection eccentric and perform abnormal behavior.

While the paper studies several stories, it focuses in particular on two, namely,

Studies in Arabic Narratology
The hybridization is one of the most prominent critical concepts in novels and stories, which means the diversity and combination of languages, styles, dialogues and literary genres in a single text. Hybridization, from the point of view of Mikhail Bakhtin and the Russian formalists is a kind of stylistic aesthetics which indicates the genius of the novelist and his mastery of writing polyphonic novels. The novel "Ashar Salawat le-algasad" by Wafa 'Abd al-Razzaq is one of these types of novels, which hybridization included its components such as: personality, space-time, and the form of language and style. This research tries to use descriptive-analytical method to study the effects of "hybridization" and how to use it in the novel "Ashar Salawat Lealjasd" by Wafa Abd al-Razzaq. Results show that the author has combined his novel with other literary genres such as poetry and biography and has used their techniques in his text to give it dynamism and beauty. As it deals with the combination of characters and sounds, as well as temporal and spatial spaces, which are reflected in the multiplicity of places and times by moving from the past to the present or from one place to another. As it deals with the combination of her own views and those of women who each express a common pain, these thoughts and ideas are in conflict with the views arising from the religion and culture of each country regarding the identity of women and social status.

AL ITQAN: Jurnal Studi Al-Qur'an
Laduni science is an extraordinary event that can be said to be beyond human behavior and this can be proof that Allah knows everything. In addition, it is also a reminder for us that even though humans have intelligence, they still cannot reveal all the secrets of God Almighty. Actually there is no definite theory to arrive at knowledge of laduni science, because it depends entirely on who will provide knowledge about the science. In contrast to science which is included in the category of exact knowledge, it is largely determined by one's perseverance. The more diligent and diligent in learning, the smarter and gain a lot of knowledge. And we will discuss in this article the basics of laduni science education in the interpretation of the Qur'an. Among them are verses and hadiths that discuss laduni science and comments by Sufis about laduni education.
