Abstract

Social construction and social status conflict are important issues in literary sociology studies, including in Nizami's Layla Majnun. The character of Qais in this novel represents the complex dynamics between social norms, societal expectations, and personal identity. This study aims to describe how social construction shapes Qais' role and position in society, as well as how social status conflict affects his life journey and choices. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a sociology of literature approach. The results show that Qais experiences strong social pressure due to class differences and cultural norms that hinder his love for Layla. Qais' social status as a poet who is considered crazy by society symbolizes resistance to rigid social constructions. The character of Qais represents an individual trapped in a social system that does not give him space, but still shows sincerity and firmness in defending his love and beliefs. The findings provide a deeper understanding of the impact of social construction on individual freedom and the relevance of social status conflict in modern life.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the form and meaning of amr as well as the structural components of imperative sentences in the book Ṣuwar min Ḥayātiṣ-Ṣaḥābah by Dr. Abdurrahman Ra’fat Al-Basha, using a semantic approach. This approach focuses on the meaning of language within a specific context. A semantic approach allows for an analysis of how the meaning of amr can vary depending on its situational usage, whether literal (Ḥaqīqī) or figurative (majāzī). The research method employed is descriptive-analytic, which serves to describe and provide an overview of the object under study through collected data or samples. The data were obtained from excerpts containing imperative verbs (fiʻl amr), which were classified according to their form and implied meaning, and then analyzed based on the theory of amr proposed by Ahmad Al-Hāsyimī. The results of this study indicate that the concept of amr in Ṣuwar min Ḥayātiṣ-Ṣaḥābah encompasses seven meanings: 55 instances of literal command (Ḥaqīqī), 2 of honoring (ikrām), 4 of permission (iʾzn), 28 of supplication (duʿāʾ), 43 of guidance (irshād), 17 of request among equals (iltimās), and 8 of threat (tahdīd). Morphologically, the imperative forms appear in two patterns: fiʻl mujarrad (basic/root verbs) and fiʻl mazīd (augmented verbs), both transitive and intransitive. Syntactically, the structure of amr typically follows the pattern: verb (fiʻl) – subject (fāʻil) – object (mafʻūl bih) – preposition (ḥarf jar) and vocative (nida').

Abstract

This study examines the representation of luxury culture in Omar Naim’s film Route 10 using Roland Barthes’ semiotic approach. The research aims to reveal how luxury objects and fashion function not merely as literal signs but as symbols of social hierarchy, prestige, and cultural adaptation. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with content analysis, selected dialogues and scenes are analyzed to uncover denotative and connotative meanings embedded in both narrative and visual elements. The findings indicate that luxury is depicted through icons such as branded cars, high-heeled shoes, and premium bags, representing elite status and global prestige. Indexes, including personal assistants, palatial residences, and exclusive privileges, highlight social hierarchies and structural inequalities. Symbols, such as formal attire, wedding gowns, and the fusion of religious tradition with modernity, reflect both aspirational and contradictory aspects of elite culture, including elitism, hypocrisy, and social distinction. Overall, the film presents luxury as a phenomenon that functions both as a marker of prestige and a source of social tension, illustrating how material and symbolic representations of wealth influence perceptions of identity, status, and cultural values in contemporary Arab society.
