Intertexuality in the Novels of Waciny Al’araj Ramal AlMaya as an Exemplar

Abstract

The contemporary Arabic novel has witnessed a great accelerated development that matches with the modern intercourse standards. The  Algerian novel, in this regard, has had a special impact on the Arabic one because it portrays the experience in addition to recording it, and it has also inspired the Arabic novel with human and psychological contents that make a huge impact that can be realized by receivers due to the writer’s  profound  treatment of  social , political, economic, and human problems and issues.

     This research provides a new horizon that is placed under the practical concept of the theory. The phenomenon of intertextuality is characterized with its capability for application, modification, modulating, and renewal of the novelist’s visions in view of modern accomplishments. Furthermore, intertextuality bestows new perceptions about the novel’s text and the techniques of its analysis with all its projections and symbols that make it a vital and living text.

        This is why novel is considered in the modern criticism as a well-knit texture that contains a number of the critical elements and perhaps one of the most is intertextuality which depends on the cognitive and sentimental storage of the writer and receiver as well.

      One can easily notice the intensive presence of the intertextuality theory in the works of Waciny Al’araj  because all his novels include advanced characteristics and  artistic features that motivate the receiver  to exceed the limits of the current text to create a special space for him or her depending on the receivers’ experience and culture that he or she acquired from life.
