Abstract

This study examines the forms of women's resistance against patriarchal structures in Fatima Mernissi's novel, Ahlam Alnisa' Alharem. In contrast to previous liberal feminist approaches that generally emphasize negotiation and systemic reform, this research employs Emma Goldman's Anarcho-Feminist perspective to analyze direct and confrontational resistance strategies. Utilizing a descriptive-analytical qualitative method, the present study draws upon two primary concepts: Propaganda by Deed and The Destruction of Authority. The findings indicate that the female characters within the Harem articulate their autonomy through direct action, the assertion of bodily rights, and civil disobedience, rather than mere compliance. Furthermore, these acts aim to deconstruct three intersecting forms of authority conceptually referred to as the "trinity of oppression," which encompasses the manipulation of religious tradition, state repression represented by territorial boundaries (hudud), and social class hierarchies. The culmination of this resistance is the liberation of women from internalized patriarchal control, identified within the narrative as the "internal tyrant". In conclusion, emancipation within this text is realized through the dismantling of both structural confinement (the physical spaces of the Harem) and psychological subjugation.

Abstract

This research focuses on how identity, oppression, and resistance are depicted in the poem Biṭāqat Huwiyyah (Identity Card) written by Mahmoud Darwish, utilizing Alan Swingewood’s sociological perspective on literature. The poem was chosen for its portrayal of the lived experiences of the Palestinian community affected by conflict, occupation, and identity issues. The aim of the study is to explore how the social context and conditions, along with the author’s perspective, contribute to the poem's meaning and to uncover the different representations of identity, oppression, and resistance found within it. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, gathering data through library research and notetaking. The main data includes verses from the poem that illustrate themes of identity, oppression, and resistance. Findings indicate that identity is showcased in the poem through the acknowledgment of Arab-Palestinian identity, emotional bonds to the homeland, and shared historical consciousness. Oppression is depicted through the seizure of land, socio-economic exclusion, and bureaucratic control over personal identity. In contrast, resistance is conveyed through the use of language, symbols, and emotional expressions that challenge occupation and the negation of national identity. Thus, this research helps sociology of literature studies grow by illustrating how identity, oppression, and resistance are shown in the conversation between the author's viewpoint, the social context, and the text. Moreover, it broadens the scope of earlier research on Biṭāqat Huwiyyah, which has mainly concentrate on semiotic and linguistic aspects.

Abstract

Studies on the semiotics of song lyrics with themes of love have been widely conducted. However, research specifically examining the construction of a child’s love for a mother in Arabic songs through Roland Barthes’ three levels of signification (denotation, connotation, and myth) remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to reveal the meanings of love represented in the lyrics of Ya Ummi by Ahmed Bukhatir and to explain the ideological and spiritual constructions embedded within them. This research employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive-analytical method. The data consist of words, phrases, and clauses in the song lyrics that contain signs of love, which are analyzed using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory through the stages of denotation, connotation, and myth. The findings indicate that the meaning of love in Ya Ummi extends beyond emotional affection and encompasses longing, respect, devotion, sincere emotion, value internalization, and psychological needs. At the denotative level, the lyrics directly express affection and longing for the mother. At the connotative level, these expressions develop into symbols of emotional closeness, respect, and filial devotion. At the mythological level, the mother is constructed as the center of life, a source of moral guidance, an emotional refuge, and a figure of profound spiritual significance. This study contributes to the enrichment of Barthesian semiotic studies on Arabic song lyrics and demonstrates that religious songs can function as a medium for transmitting moral, cultural, and spiritual values that shape a child’s identity and life orientation.

Abstract

This study examines the prosodic structure and moral messages in the Qaṣīdah ʿAmadtu ʾIlayka Khayra al-Nāsi Ḥayyan by al-Farazdaq, a panegyric qaṣīdah (madḥ) consisting of 65 verses. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and library research method, this study applies ʿilm al-ʿarūḍ (metre), qawāfī (rhyme), and moral message theory for prosodic analysis and ethical value interpretation. The findings reveal that the qaṣīdah is composed in baḥr wāfir with a consistent base pattern of مُفَاعَلَتُنْ مُفَاعَلَتُنْ فَعُوْلُنْ  throughout all 65 verses. All positions of ʿarūḍ (end of the first hemistich) and ḍarb (end of the second hemistich) undergo ʿillat qatf (elision of the light cause and vowelling of the fifth consonant), while 53 verses undergo zihāf ʿaṣb (quiescence of the fifth vowelled consonant) in the ḥasyw (medial foot) position. The rawī (rhyme-determining letter) is mīm (م), classified as Muṭlaqah Mujarradah Mawṣūlah bil-Līn of the Mutawātir type. Moral message analysis identifies four categories of values: the human relationship with God, with oneself, with others, and with nature. These findings demonstrate that al-Farazdaq's prosodic mastery and moral depth are two mutually reinforcing dimensions that cannot be separated.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tanda ikonik, indeksikal, dan simbolik serta mengungkap makna konflik sosial dalam keluarga Arab modern pada film Groom & Two Brides. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan semiotika Charles Sanders Peirce. Data penelitian berupa adegan, dialog, dan unsur visual dalam film yang merepresentasikan konflik sosial. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis berdasarkan kategori ikon, indeks, dan simbol dalam model triadik Peirce. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konflik sosial dalam film dibangun melalui relasi tanda yang saling berkaitan. Ikon merepresentasikan situasi konflik secara visual, indeks menunjukkan hubungan sebab-akibat dari ketegangan sosial, sedangkan simbol merefleksikan benturan nilai antara tradisi dan modernitas dalam masyarakat Arab modern. Makna konflik sosial dalam film menunjukkan adanya pertentangan antara nilai kolektivitas keluarga dan keinginan individu untuk memperoleh kebebasan personal. Dengan demikian, film Groom & Two Brides merepresentasikan dinamika perubahan nilai dan relasi sosial dalam keluarga Arab modern.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the portrayal of gender discrimination against women in the film The Exchange. The study aims to describe the forms of gender discrimination and to uncover the meanings behind these representations. The method used is qualitative descriptive analysis based on Roland Barthes’s theory of semiotics, which includes an analysis of denotation, connotation, and myth. The research data consist of scenes, dialogues, and visual elements that illustrate practices of gender discrimination in the film The Exchange. Data collection was conducted through screenshots and notes on scenes relevant to the research focus. The results show that gender discrimination is represented through various forms of injustice experienced by female characters, both within the family and in the workplace. These forms of discrimination include the disregard for women’s abilities, unequal treatment, negative stereotypes, restrictions on social roles, and a lack of recognition of women’s rights and needs. This study also found that gender discrimination is not only perpetrated by male characters but is also reproduced by female characters who have internalized patriarchal values. Through these portrayals, the film The Exchange illustrates the consequences or impacts of discrimination that can affect gender relations and diminish women’s status in social life.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of inner conflict in Maryam Touzani's film The Blue Caftan using Kurt Lewin's psychological conflict theory within the framework of literary psychology. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a literary psychology approach. The data consisted of dialogues, actions, expressions, and scenes representing the characters' inner conflicts in the film. Data were collected through observation and note-taking techniques, while data analysis was conducted by identifying, classifying, interpreting, and describing the forms of inner conflict based on Kurt Lewin's theory. The findings reveal that no approach–approach conflict was identified, while two avoidance–avoidance conflicts and five approach–avoidance conflicts were found. These conflicts are represented through the psychological experiences of the three main characters, Halim, Mina, and Youssef, as they face dilemmas related to moral responsibility, interpersonal relationships, social pressure, economic conditions, and the acceptance of life's realities. This study demonstrates that Kurt Lewin's psychological conflict theory provides a more specific framework for explaining the representation of inner conflict in film and contributes to the development of literary psychology studies, particularly those focusing on contemporary Moroccan cinema.
