Abstract

This research aims to reveal the meaning of Mawtini's poem, the unofficial national anthem of Palestine, by Ibrahim Tuqan. This study uses descriptive-analytical research using Michael Riffaterre's semiotic theory, which consists of indirect expressions, heuristic readings, hermeneutic readings, matrices, models, variants, and programs to express the meanings contained therein. The results of the research show that Mawtini's poetry contains jargon or phrases, namely: homeland, live a noble life or die a martyr's death, it is better to die than to be a slave to the enemy, sword, and ink as tools of war and narration, not afraid of death, and do not want to suffer. All of them are typical phrases or jargon of the struggle of the Middle East to expel Western invaders, especially Palestine. From there, it was concluded that Mawtini's poetry has a very deep meaning about the fighting spirit for the motherland, patriotism, and Palestinian nationalism, which later made it the unofficial national anthem of Palestine. The poem is intended to give hope and awaken the spirit of struggle to the Palestinian people in facing their enemies at that time, namely the Jews and the British in 1934 regarding the policy of unrestricted Jewish immigration and buying land to establish a "Jewish National Home".

Abstract

This study analyzes Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the main character Bella in the Indamā Qatalū al-Rabi novel by Hiba Jamal As'ad. This research departs from the central issue of this novel, which is about situations of war, crime, and the oppression that befalls the main character Bella, which negatively impacts her psyche. This study applies a descriptive analysis method using PTSD theory which refers to the Diagnostic of Mental Disorders DSM V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition) by APA (American Psychiatric Association) to reveal personality, trauma, symptoms, and efforts to suppress PTSD disorders Bella character. The results show that Bella, who initially had positive characteristics such as being sociable and cheerful, transformed into a mentally and psychologically disturbed person due to her experiences of severe trauma such as the murder of her parents, rape, harassment, threats to spreading immoral videos, and some physical and mental violence. All of these experiences created PTSD disorders in Bella with symptoms of sleep disturbances, avoidance of certain situations and moments, and loss of the ability to feel emotional feelings or positive emotions. At the end of the story, Bella's marriage to Hassan becomes an important event and stimulus for Bella to reduce the stress and trauma.

Abstract

 This research is supposed to analyze power relations in the Hukumatu Dzil novel by Mundzir Qabbani. This research used the descriptive analysis method that has the purpose of understanding the phenomenon which is experienced by the subject of the research. This research is based on Michel Foucault's theory of power relations and Alain Viala's theory of sequences. Sequencing analysis shows that the power relation between the shadow government to the community is the most dominant issue in the novel. The result shows that practices of power relations in the novel matched Foucault's theory that power is not only carried out through repressive (violence or threats) but can also use in a non-repressive way. Power relations between the shadow government and society occurred through minds and bodies. Power relations through minds occur by manipulation and stigmatization, which are spread through religion, culture, state, and institutions. Meanwhile, power relations through the body occurred by manipulating the social body. The power relations shown by the community against the shadow government are carried out by manipulation through religious media.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the problems and identity negotiations carried out by the protagonist, Hend, in the novel Miral al-Tahawy’s Brooklyn Heights. It is a qualitative research with descriptive analysis method by using Robert Stanton's Narrative Structure theory to show the main issues of the novel and Stuart Hall's identity theory to show Hend's identity negotiation. The results showed that the protagonist in her migration from Egypt to America experienced various identity problems, namely longing for the homeland, alienation, and identity crisis. All these problems encourage the protagonist to create efforts to negotiate between her past and present in several forms; using English to show her position as an American, carrying out dating traditions, drinking beer, dancing tango, and wearing open clothes. Hend's identity in America is not dominant to one side. She becomes half Arab and half American (a hybrid identity). The research also found that her romantic needs for an American man became the starting point of this American negotiation that can be considered as identity negotiation to claim her rights as an Egyptian-American, whose identity tends to be excluded from American citizens regardless the fact that she is American, but not white mainstream society.

Abstract

Shurfat al-‘Ār by Ibrahim Nasrallah delves into the psychological dynamics of the character Manar. In the novel, the main character, Manar, becomes a victim of rape committed by Yunus, the antagonist. This event leads to serious psychological consequences for Manar. This study explores the psychodynamics of Manar, including the dynamics of her id, ego, and superego, as well as her anxiety and defense mechanisms. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method, which includes describing the facts followed by an analysis of the text using Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory. The results show that the dynamics of the id, ego, and superego play a significant role in how Manar copes with her traumatic experience. The character of Manar also experiences the three types of anxiety conceptualized by Freud: objective anxiety, neurotic anxiety, and moral anxiety. The form of fear from a real threat is a result of objective anxiety, the inner pressure she feels represents neurotic anxiety, and the fear of committing wrongdoing related to morals, customs, and norms is a form of moral anxiety. The defense mechanisms that develop within Manar are her efforts to cope with the pressure and anxiety, including repression, regression, denial, sublimation, isolation, rationalization, and dissocia

Abstract

The adjective and its described noun (na’t and man’ut) are fundamental elements of Arabic grammar. In the context of poetry, their function is not limited to clarifying meaning but extends to beautifying language, adding balance, and highlighting the aesthetic dimensions of the text. In the works of Ahmad Shawqi especially poem Dzikra al-Maulid, the use of na’t and man’ut appears creatively to express profound emotions and convey complex meanings. This study aims to analyze the structure of na’t and man’ut in the poem Dzikra al-Maulid while exploring how this linguistic structure is employed to enhance the religious and literary meanings that distinguish the poem. Additionally, the study seeks a deeper understanding of the grammatical tools Ahmad Shawqi used to achieve harmony between form and content. The study employed qualitative methodology, with descriptive analysis technique with the poem Dzikra al-Maulid, as the primary source. The analysis results indicate that adjectives are widely used to clarify nouns and convey deeper poetic meaning. Examples from the analysis reveal the role of adjectives in providing additional detail that enhances poetic imagery and clarifies meaning. For instance, the word "ghadaah" functions as an adjective that specifies the timing of an action, adding vibrancy to the poetic scene. The word "al-jamaal" highlights the association of description with beauty, creating emotional tension. Similarly, "yawman" serves as a temporal adjective, and "bayna al-dhuloo’" as a locational adjective, both strengthening the precise depiction of state and place. Adjectives such as "min hadeed" emphasize strength and steadfastness rather than emotional vulnerability. This demonstrates that adjectives enrich poetic imagery and enhance emotional and intellectual expression, making the meaning of the poem deeper and more impactful

Abstract

In preserving diversity, literature frequently plays a central role by foregrounding themes and ideologies of tolerance. The issue of tolerance has become a global concern in literary studies, ranging from the Arab world to Indonesia. One Arab novel that explores this theme is Fi’rān Ummī Hiṣṣah (2015) by Su‘ud al-San‘usi from Kuwait, which narrates sectarian conflict between Sunni and Shi‘ite communities. In the Indonesian context, Kambing dan Hujan (2015) by Mahfud Ikhwan highlights encounters and tensions between Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah. This study aims to analyze the representation of tolerance in both novels and compare their approaches. The research employs a qualitative method with content analysis techniques. Data were collected through close reading of characters’ actions, dialogues, and narrative events in both works. The theoretical framework is grounded in Abu A‘la Maududi’s theory of tolerance, Melani Budianta’s concept of Literature and Cross-Cultural Interaction, Ian Watt’s sociology of literature, and Henry H. Remak’s comparative literature. The findings reveal that both novels position tolerance as a solution to intra-religious conflicts. Although they share the same objective-preserving religious diversity-each novel presents distinct forms of tolerance shaped by its socio-cultural context. Fi’rān Ummī Hiṣṣah represents tolerance through events infused with communal interaction and everyday coexistence in public spaces, such as the exchange of educational institutions, attending funerals and mourning ceremonies, accepting ritual differences, and sharing public domains. Meanwhile, in Kambing dan Hujan, tolerance appears through ritual compromise, doctrinal negotiation, and religious dialectics, as each group is given equitable space to articulate its interpretations, arguments, and theological perspectives. These differences stem from the fact that Kuwait remains relatively distant from an institutionalized tradition of tolerance; thus, the novel presents inspirational forms of tolerance manifested through social practices of coexistence. In contrast, Indonesia-long accustomed to “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika” (Unity in Diversity) and diverse religious traditions offers a more intimate form of tolerance through dialogical engagements with doctrines, rituals, interpretations, and collective meaning-making among groups. Ultimately, both novels demonstrate that tolerance does not eliminate differences but rather reflects the willingness to manage and negotiate them constructively.

Abstract

Nationalism is often raised in Arabic poetry, presented in various forms, to foster a spirit of change in current social dynamics. In this case, the Iraqi poem "Lianni Gharib" by Badar Syakir Sayyab also presents this through its content. This study aims to analyze nationalism in the poem "Lianni Gharib" using Roland Barthes' semiotic theory, focusing on three levels of meaning: denotative, connotative, and mythical. The method used is content analysis with a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of this study show that the poem "Lianni Gharib" represents Iraqi nationalism through the poet's emotions of longing. At the denotative level, this poem directly conveys the poet's longing for the homeland by evoking foreignness, longing, destruction, and the presence of symbols of stone, blood, and the abyss in its depiction of Iraq. At the connotative level, this longing turns into a complex emotional experience where the author suffers greatly from his unhealed longing for Iraq as well as his suffering from Iraq's very poor socio-political conditions. Meanwhile, in the mythical context, this expression of longing conveys an ideological message about the movement for change and improvement in Iraq, making it appear subtle and natural (non-political). This relates to his exile due to the political turmoil in Iraq at the time.
