Abstract

This study analyzes the novel Niṣf Basyar (2017) to explore how the text dismantles anthropocentrism, particularly Immanuel Kant's humanist framework, in contemporary Arabic literature. Using a qualitative library-based method, data comprising narratives, dialogues, and character actions were collected through reading and note-taking. The data were first analyzed using Robert Stanton's structuralist approach to map story facts, themes, and literary devices. Subsequently, these elements were examined using Rosi Braidotti and Donna Haraway's critical posthumanist frameworks to trace critiques of Kantian concepts, including the Copernican revolution, moral dignity, and the phenomenon-noumenon boundary. The findings demonstrate that the novel dismantles anthropocentric hierarchies cumulatively. First, non-human agents subvert human sovereignty in distinct ways: Alpha and Beta expose the fragility of human superiority, whereas Sari and Delta invert the Kantian distinction between means and ends through autonomous moral actions. Second, scientific taxonomy is exposed as an instrument of power rather than neutral reason, with affect functioning as an ethical counterpoint to rational and scientific classification. Third, the hybrid protagonist Nisrina embodies an ontological anomaly that defies both human forensic science and alien biological knowledge, thereby collapsing the Kantian boundary between phenomena and noumena. The study concludes that Niṣf Basyar offers an example of posthumanist critique in contemporary Arabic literature, demonstrating that anthropocentrism collapses not through a single narrative event but through the accumulated failure of human rational, epistemological, and biological claims to sovereignty.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between journalism and the development of modern Arabic literature, including journalism's influence on literary writing styles and the transformation of this relationship in the digital media era. The study employs a qualitative library research method, using documentation and content analysis techniques to examine relevant literature. The findings indicate that journalism plays a strategic role in shaping the development of Arabic literature by providing a public space for writers, fostering aesthetic innovations, and influencing changes in writing techniques and narrative structures. The interaction between journalistic and literary discourses has given rise to hybrid forms that enrich the representation of social reality while expanding literature's function as a medium for reflection and critique. Furthermore, the evolution of digital media has altered the patterns of production, distribution, and consumption of literary works, resulting in forms of literature that are more interactive, multimodal, and participatory; however, this shift also presents new challenges regarding meaning-making, the dominance of visual culture, and the influence of algorithms on the dissemination of works. The study concludes that the relationship between journalism and Arabic literature is dynamic and transformative, necessitating the development of contemporary Arabic literary studies through an interdisciplinary approach—integrating perspectives from literature, media, and communication—to understand the changing literary ecosystem in the digital age.
