Text Intertextuality and Allusions in the Modern Arabic Criticism: A descriptive Case Study of Interconnection Elements in Bachir Al-lbrahimi's Corpus

Abstract

There is doubtless that modern Arab critics have had a significant impact in forming the concept of intertextuality  and textual interaction, which has been interpreted differently by various critics. However, the term's significance was first used by Western scholars, notably the critic "Gérard Genette," who was at the forefront of defining the concept. He introduced the idea of what he called "textual transcendence." Among the Arab critics who have focused on the idea of textual interaction and interplay are Mohammed Mufattah, Mohammed Bennis, and Saïd Yaqtin. This interaction becomes evident in the texts of Al-Bashir Al-Ibrahim, where he employs various citations that establish the continuity of the past in the present.
