Abstract

Adaptation, as one form of response to literary texts, is a matter that has been much discussed in the world of literature or the world of art in general. An interesting case of adaptation is the adaptation of al-Fil al-Azraq's novel to a film showing the effort of an adapter to preserve the novel story as well as transforming it into a new work with a variety of creativity in it. This study aims to reveal the individuality, effects, and meaning of the text contained in the novel al-Fīl al-Azraq as the background text and the film al-Fīl al-Azraq as a foreground work as well as the media changes occurring in the adaptation work . To see this process of adaptation, the theory of aesthetic response from Wolfgeng Iser. The results of this study indicate that the adapters do dialectic with the source text and then display it in their adaptation work through changes in the text in the form of allusions, negations, and blank filling. These changes also affect the individuality, effects, and meaning of the adaptation work to the point of shifting from the source text. This shows that the work of adaptation is a new work that has its own individuality and creativity, a work of repetition without replication.

The novel of Islamic history by Jurjī Zaidān is one of the works of Modern Arabic literature which appeared at the end of the 19th century. Since it was first published, as a serial story in al-Hilal magazine, this novel has been read and has received a great response. Zaidān composed 22 titles of novels from 1891 to 1914. After Zaidān's death in 1914, his novels were still read by the public, reprinted, and even translated in various languages in the world. Zaidān’s Islamic historical novels still exist, both within the scope of modern Arabic literature and in Arabic thought, with many studies to date. Research on this novel is reviewed and analyzed to reveal the diversity of perspectives to be mapped. Found nine perspectives in the study of Islamic historical novels; the perspective of the development of Arabic novel genres, the perspective of authorship and pioneering in Arabic novel genre, the perspective of the popularization of Arab-Islamic history, critical perspectives of Islamic historical facts, intrinsic literary criticism perspective, narrative structure perspective, feminist perspective, perspective modern Arab identity, and Arab nationalism perspective. The mapping of studies become the positioning of further Islamic historical novel studies, and at the same time can be a model of study for the analysis of other historical novels that develop in Arabic literature or other national literature.

Abstract

The picture story "Al-Bintu Mitslu al-Walad" by Fatimah Al-Ma’dul narrates the tale of a child named Salma who seeks justice for her rights in the arena of games. As a child, Salma demands an end to discrimination between girls and boys in choosing games. This article highlights Salma's childhood character and the equality she advocates. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method that focuses on describing the narrative and visual aspects of the book and interprets them from Roland Barthes' semiotic perspective. From Barthes' perspective on myth, the meaning of the struggle for gender equality represents the gender equality campaign of Hosni Mubarak, the leader of Egypt from 1981 to 2011. Semiotically, the book reinforces Mubarak's policies regarding gender equality in Egypt, thereby not being considered mere rhetoric. Therefore, this book is presented as a way to seek support from the community.

The verse was chosen because it represents a pragmatic phenomenon that draws further attention from the point of view of this study. The research will focus on analyzing the content and meaning contained in the verse which is then interpreted with the principle of cooperation between the speaker and the speech partner.

Al-Quran is Allah SWT in the form of text and timeless, so that the study in the Al-Quran will present various interpretations that will become his word. In Surah al-Anbiya 'Recounts the conversation between creatures and God. In this verse and in practice, conversations between lovers of Allah SWT as speech partners contain several pragmatic phenomena with the principles of conversation between the parties involved. The implementation of these conversational principles has their respective duties and functions based on the situation of the speech act. However, in this communication, is four maxims are not always implemented.

The most widely used technique was the shifting technique found as many as 22 data. This was occured primarily due to the underlying difference between the Source Language (SL) and TL structures, therefore, to achieve the language correspondence and acceptability, the translator has focused on using more shifting techniques. The translation method used was oriented at the Target Language (TL) of 49 data (67,1%).

Abstract

This research aims to present an interpretation of literary criticism on the occurrence of plagiarism in classical Arabic poetry. The topic of plagiarism, contrasted theoretically, has not been extensively discussed in previous studies. Al-Jumahi was the first to disclose the problematic aspects behind the outstanding reputation of Arab poetry. Conversely, Al-Qairawany presented related theories more systematically. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method using a contrastive approach towards the two major works of these figures, namely Thabaqat Fuhul As-Syuara and Al-Umdah fi Al-Mahasin li As-Syuara wa Adabihi wa Naqdih. The findings reveal that Al-Jumahi and Al-Qairawany start from the same premise, albeit from differing perspectives. Al-Jumahi contends that all forms of imitation are acts of plagiarism, entirely unacceptable in the literary world. On the other hand, Al-Qairawany asserts that if imitation does not compromise the principle of creation and innovation, it can still be accepted as original literary work. Consequently, there is a significant development from the criticism of the Al-Jumahi period to the Al-Qairawany period.

Abstract

The attack launched by Hamas against Israel, rooted in a long-standing historical conflict dating back to 1948, culminated in the events of October 7, 2023. Israel’s military response to the attack has sparked widespread debate, particularly regarding potential violations of international humanitarian law. This study aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the legal violations committed by Israel during its retaliatory attacks against Hamas, as well as the international community’s response. The research adopts a normative juridical approach, referencing primary legal sources from international humanitarian law governing armed conflict, and is supported by secondary literature such as books, accredited academic journals, and scholarly articles. Data were collected through document studies and literature reviews, and analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that Israel has violated several fundamental principles of international humanitarian law, including the principles of humanity, proportionality, distinction, and military necessity. International responses appear polarized; most European countries expressed support for Israel, while many Asian and Arab nations condemned its actions due to the significant impact on civilian populations. This polarization reflects a growing imbalance in the application of humanitarian principles in the context of armed conflict.
