One of the most widely used and effective methods in analyzing various literary and artistic texts and works is their semiotic analysis. One of the contemporary theorists in the field of semiotics is the French Philippe Hamon; His theory is based on four principles: 1. Types of characters - which include reference characters (historical, social, mythical and virtual), mediating characters and pointer characters (indicating the presence of the reader and writer 2. means personality, 3. personality sign 4. levels of personality description. The present study has tried to analyze and reflect this theory based on the semiotic method in the novel Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmad Saadawi. Due to the multiplicity of characters in this novel, the four main characters of Shasmeh, Hadi Al-Atag, Ilyshwa and Faraj Al-Dalal are considered. The results of the research indicate that the selected characters are the type of mediating or pointing characters that the author has used to express his thoughts and in fact, by including them in the novel, he has shown his freedom and patriotism thoughts. The meaning of the characters is also expressed more through the introduction by the author; He uses sentences with special care that acquaints the reader well with the intellectual and mental level of the character used. At the level of description, Saadawi has carefully stated all the physical, psychological and social characteristics of individuals. The choice of name is also made with a certain obsession.

This study investigates socialist romanticism in the novel “Rijal fi Al-shams” from Ghassan Kanfani who is a talented Palestinian author in the field of fiction literature. In this book, he often develops concepts such as sympathy, resistance, self-sacrifice and endurance and through this, in the form of the story of socialist romanticism, he explains the situation of the society and criticizes the performance of the corrupt government and the poverty of the people. He also mentions the irregularities of the society, the rights of the vulnerable people, imperialism, the confrontation between tradition and modernity, and beautifully depicted damages which have been caused on the economy, culture and his society foundation by global Zionism. One of the outstanding features of this genre is that one can achieve the author's style in narration, narrator, general characteristics and using the author's specific techniques. Therefore, in this article, the authors have tried to explain the principles of socialist realism in this story by using features such as strong narrative action and themes, time, place, volume and type of narrative expression as well as cause and effect relationship between phenomena and concepts such as the emotional expression of the narration, dissatisfaction with the current situation and disappearing in other spaces, reflect the anti-authoritarianism in this story more than before. The research shows that the authors, by studying the frameworks of socialist romanticism and also applying new ideas centered on socialist realism, have come to the conclusion that new genres have given priority to the promotion of people's intellectual level. Therefore, the updated content of such stories intends to design a new achievement by deconstructing the old narrative genres that do not meet the needs of today's society, in order to enrich the culture of their society in the world.The research method in this study is descriptive-analytical which has been analyzed based on parameters appropriate to socialist romanticism in narrative works and also based on inductive conclusion - reaching from part to whole.

Prison literature is one of lyric literatures which is formed proper to social and political conditions of different communities and is narrative of truthful emotions of those who have been captivated with the penalty of freedom loving and were persecuted and tortured.

Literature emanates from human mind, and the analysis of human mental actions contributes a lot to literary criticism. Psychoanalysis, as the science connecting literature and psychology, has been able to reflect the problems of society through psychoanalytic concepts by entering the field of literature and processing and analyzing the literary texts through characters and their inner states. In his novel Lascivious Eyes, the Saudi novelist Qmashh Allyan recreated the characters of the story through a psychoanalytic approach and highlighted the impact of divorce on the emergence of various types of psychological anxiety for children. Using the descriptive-analytical method and Freud's psychoanalytic criticism and relying on his theories of anxiety and defense mechanisms and the way these concepts are applied and implemented by the characters, this study seeks to analyze the impact of divorce on the actions and reactions of the novel's characters in order to provide a better insight about the phenomenon in question by extracting its components. The results showed that the two main characters of the story, after their family breakdown, were suffering in various situations from realistic, neurotic and moral anxiety and resorted to defense mechanisms according to the situation where they felt anxious to protect themselves from unbearabale realities and mental conflicts.

Magical realism means the combination of reality, magic and imagination, that is, reality and the unreal. This style is a new style in Arabic novelism, in addition to exploring the narrative form and transcending the boundaries of the narrative tradition, opening the way for him to explain some of the issues through this new form of narrative. This literary tendency has developed in Arabic novels and among its writers; one of them is Ahmad Khaled Tawfiq (1962- 2018). He is one of the pioneers of the literature of fear in contemporary Arabic literature. He has written valuable works and novels in this field; one of his most famous novels is "Fi Mamar el-Feeran" and is an advanced and advanced type of "The Story of the Exalted One", No. 68 of his supernatural series. In this novel, he has addressed the social issues of his society, Egypt, with a place of fear and magic, imagination, fear and darkness and myth. The present study is an analytical-descriptive study of the events of this novel from the perspective of magic realism and tries to understand the social and political aspects hidden in it. One of the most important findings of the research is that Khaled Tawfiq draws a picture of contemporary Egyptian society and how they deal with issues such as poverty, ignorance, darkness, and fear of enemies, and exposes problems of their nation such as despair, deprivation, and cruelty such as enemies. Israel picks up. In this way he has used extensive imagination and various techniques such as combining real elements with the imagination and applying Greek myths such as Odysseus, Prometheus, etc., and accurately describing superstitious persons and personalities.

In general,this research seeks to reveal the concept of critical discourse and its mechanism in the novel Sons of the Wind written by Laila Atrash.The point of view of narrative discourse fluctuates between the narrative content and its narrative components and the critical view of the novelist about the facts of her life which is published in the form of discourse in her work.The basis of critical discourse studies is the examination of the relationship between discourse and power,or between discourse and society in general,and it is considered one of the definite matters of its research.Norman Fairclough`s theory is a social cognitive model that deals with the critical analysis of texts.It deals ith the text as a literary text and as a discourse affected by the social context and influencing it.Therefore, the basis of this researh is to link presentation with analysis through Fairclough`s critical discourse analysis approach,an approach based on which language use is a communicative event that includes three dimensions.The first dimension is textual and is based on linguistic and formal features from which the discourse of the novel is derived.The second dimension is  a discourse that includes the process of producing,expanding and using the text.And the third dimension is social and cultural,which is based on the interpretations and its relationship with the social context during the creation of the textT and Through that the external context affecting the text is analyzed.The results of this reserch,after applying the criteria of Fairclough`s theory in the novel Sons of the wind,are such that language means words,constructions,text structure and textual coherence towards changing the previous values of the society and imposing new values that are conflict with  the wrong behavior of organizations and people of the society towards children living in orphanages and have tried to change the strict laws of the Ministry of Development.In the stage of interpretation,the narrator has described the climate governing the society through clear and obvious discourse that is in agreement with his ideology.In the formation explanation stage,he specifies that the living conditions of childeren in orphanages and their problems in society are among the effective factorse in the of the novel`s main discourse.

Time and space are parts of the major components in fiction literature that could not be separated from each other, both of them play a tremendous role in novel setting. This research aimed to examine the structure of time and space in “the Year, and Journey of az-Zahra” of Murtadha Abdussalam Al-Haqiq in order to affirm to which extent the novelist succeeded in constructing these two components in his novels. Descriptive method was adopted for the research. The study revealed that time and space were given great values during the narration and they were both linked with other components in the novels. The researcher discovered many results at the end of the study, these include but not limited to the fact that the novelist adopted modern narrative techniques to construct time and space in the novels. While narrating time of events, he used paradox techniques to brief the reader about past events and predicted the future of characters. He equally depended on summary and omission to speed up the narration forward to avoid missioning issues that do not fit the content of the narration. He then used dialogue and descriptive pause to slow down the narration to reveal the emotions and feelings of the characters. On the structure of space, the novelist succeeded in giving an accurate description to all spaces in the novels and attached a special cultural values to them, such as; denoting poverty and wealth, open  and close spaces, rural and urban. Finally, space-time in the novels was able to determine the path of the characters, revealing their emotions and affiliations, expressing their concerns and obsessions, and carrying their visions and aspirations.

New historicism is an approach that emerged in response to traditional methods and traditional historicism in the late 20th century. New historians consider history a set of conflicting discourses and address the marginalized voices. They believe that what historians write is not an objective recording of the past events but the interpretation and narrative of the past events based on the discourse of historians. Therefore, history has a discursive nature and is a tradition of narration. In 2012 Rabee Jaber the Lebanese novelist won the International Prize for Arabic fiction for his novel “Druze of Belgrade”. This thesis tries to examine the novel from the perspective new historicism in order to recognize the relation of text with historical discourses. the results of the study show that there are six discourses represented in this article: the discourse of ottoman government, the discourse of European governments, the dialogue of the Balkans, the discourse of prisoners of prisoners, the discourse of Lebanese Christians, and the discourse of Muslims of the Balkans. It also shows that the novel focuses on the marginalized voices and the victims of sectarian violence and governance, whose representatives are on one side, imprisoned Druze, and by the other, Hanna Yacoub and his family. The novel tries to provide a positive image of Druze, contrary to official discourse of Ottoman Empire.

Critical discourse analysis is one of the new language tools used to investigate the hidden relationship between language and ideology in society. And it shows the moral and ideological values ​​hidden in the critical discourse. The present article aims to analyze the novel "Ahdab Baghdad" by the contemporary Iraqi novelist Riyad al-Qazi, relying on the descriptive-analytical method and based on Farklough's theory of critical discourse analysis, which is based on the proposition that: "Critical discourse as a tool for analysis social and cultural changes in three levels of description, interpretation and expression". Riyad al-Qadi has been able to provide the reader with a clear and transparent image of the Iraqi society by using narrative tools. One of the most important achievements and results of this research, which was conducted with a descriptive analytical method, is that in the Iraqi society, the discourse of power represented by the American occupiers and Iraqi autocrats has imposed its voice and ideology on the discourse of the society. And this has led to the spread of political, social and moral corruption, and the prevalence of embezzlement, theft, kidnapping, assassination, murder, smuggling, discrimination, cruelty, betrayal, family disintegration, etc.

The novel is not only a type of narrative; Rather, on the occasion of benefiting from writing techniques, it has a full capacity for analysis based on contemporary critical theories, because if its structure is mounted in a correct way, it will be fully capable of layering. The underlying parts of its superstructure can be better charted based on structural analysis. In the meantime, Todorov's theory, with the collective wisdom of structuralists, provides a precise engineering system for analyzing the novel. Todorov considers three levels in the geometry of the novel. The first level is the text of the novel, which is provided by the storage of words of the author in the pages of the novel, and the words are coded according to the author's ability, and according to his innovation, they sit side by side in such a way that understanding them is crucial. It requires technical skills. That's why, in examining the text, one should focus on the writing techniques and techniques so that by recognizing the common points, the differences can be identified and the author's artistic performances in the text can be identified. Apart from the text, the second level of the geometry of the novel, from Todorov's point of view, are the series (progresses). This article aims to analyze the novel Harith al-Miyyah by Hoda Barakat in a descriptive-analytical way, based on Todorov's narrative series. The most important result is that this novel was written with a main series, a secondary series, and a semi-series with a narrative interior, and alternation in the narration. Harith al-Miyah also shows a full capacity in adapting Todorov's narrative aspects, because it has news and non-news aspects and various examples in non-news types, including desire, in two mandatory and wishful types, and hypothetical in two conditional types and The forecast is found in it.

The Prisoner of Mirrors is the title of a novel by Saud Al-Sanousi, the Kuwaiti novelist, who began it with this sentence from the Indian Tagore (He who carries his lamp behind his back sees nothing but his shadow in front of him). With this phrase, the writer tries to express the content of the novel in a concise, philosophical sentence, and through it he touches the deepest meanings found in it. This novel is not just a romantic drama novel, but rather it appears through its details that it revolves around the search for the self, the discovery of a dispersed and lost identity, and the pursuit of happiness. chronotop plays an effective role in accelerating and renewing the course of the novel's events. It is a technique considered by many critics to be one of the most important narrative structures for understanding and visualizing events in the narrative construction. This study proceeded to its treatment and its various forms of manifestation and its implications through its descriptive and analytical approach. After presenting and analyzing the subject, the study concluded that the manifestations of the temporal structure in the novel are more temporal than spatial. Because the novel narrates the moral aspect of the story of the suffering of Abd al-Aziz, the protagonist of the novel, who lived a life of loneliness and pessimism. I also noticed that time within the novel is dominated by the retrieval mechanism more than the anticipation. Because your love for the events in the novel centers on the past. Finally, the aesthetic of the narrative structural structure complements the acceleration and slowdown of the narration and the summary, scene and pause that they contain, as these mechanisms, in their entirety, created an integrated tone that tells the story of a hero (abd al-aziz) suffering from loneliness and alienation and trying to recover himself and reveal his identity.
