إنّ الشواهد الشعرية من أهمّ ما يعتمد عليها عادة في الدراسات الأدبية بالأخص إذا ما كان التفسير يعرف بالتفسير الأدبي فإنّ الشعر يستفاد منه بياناً للكلمات والعبارات القرآنية وإثباتاً للمعنى الذي يرومه المفسّر ولم يكن المفسّر يحظى به إلاّ إذا تذوّق الشعر والأدب. وعليه يظهر من تفسير الميزان للعلاّمة الطباطبائي أنّه بالإضافة إلى تذوّقه من الأدب وتمتعه به كان متمكنا من إبداء آراء سديدة يتحفها بدلالات وشواهد من الآيات قبل أن يعتمد على الشواهد الشعرية. وأما الشواهد الشعرية المعوّلة عليها في الميزان فإنّها متناثرة فيه وتختلف إلى البلاغة واللغة والنحو وموضوعات عامّة اجتماعية أخرى وغيرها. ومن مميزات الميزان أنه مُتحف بمباحث لغوية وأدبية من ضمنها الشواهد الشعرية التي يناهز عددها 172 بيتاً وللعلامة فيها إشراف ودقّة كما أنّه لا يولي بها الاهتمام إلا إذا اقتضت الحاجة في إيضاح بعض الآيات. والذي يذكره من الشواهد قد يذكر مصدره مثل ما يحيل أحياناً بعضها إلى الكشاف أو المجمع أو المفردات وقد لا يصرّح فيه بمصدر.

الشخصية هي من أهم المكوّنات السردية في الأدب القصصي. وتلعب دوراً أساسياً في تجسيد فكرة وأيديولوجية الروائي. للشخصية الروائية تصنيفات متعددة لكن هذه التصنيفات لم تعتن بفكرة الجنوسة، ولا ينظر النقّاد غالبًا إلي جنس الشخصية في دراسة السرد. والمرأة الكاتبة تحسّ وتفكر وتبدع وصراعها من أجل مقاومة التهميش لا يختلف عن صراع أي جماعة في المجتمع. وتسعي دوماً إلي ارتفاع شأنها من حيز الهامش إلي حيز المركز. تهدف هذه الدراسة باعتماد المنهج الوصفي-التحليلي إلي تحليل الشخصيات النسائية الهامشية في رواية «الطنطورية» لرضوي عاشور، وذلك وفق آراء غاياتري سبيفاك في ضوء نظرية ما بعد الكولونيالية. من أهم النتائج التي توصّلنا إليها هي أنّ جميع الشخصيات النسائية في الرواية لا يعشن بلدهن لأسباب مختلفة. وهذا الأمر يرجع إلي الهاجس الرئيس لدي رضوي وهو العزل المضاعف بالنسبة إلي النساء اللاتي يعانين من الجانبين الثقافي والسياسي. «رقية» هي الشخصية الرئيسة اللاجئة إنّها رغم هجرتها المتوالية تحافظ علي ثقافتها العريقة. إلّا أنّ «رندة» المرأة المهاجرة انبهرت بالثقافة الأجنبية ورفضت ثقافتها العريقة. وهناك أيضا المرأة المستعمَرة تعاني من المعاناة المزدوجة. ولذلك تتفق رضوي عاشور مع رأي سبيفاك القائل بأنّ التابعة ليست بإمكانها التكلّم إلّا إذا توفّر لها مناخ التعبير الذي يتهيأ بواسطة المجتمع الذكوري والاستعمار.

Metonymy as a Pragma-Rhetorical Feature in some Speeches of Imam Ali
Adab Al-Kufa,
2018, Volume 1, Issue 32, Pages 9-24
The speech of Prophet Mohammad and his progeny (P.B.U.T) is regarded a main source for several sciences such as rhetoric and eloquence. Their speeches are expected to be an adequate corpus of analysis in the light of modern linguistic theories. As such, this paper investigates the pragma-rhetorical functions of metonymy in Imam Ali's (P.B.U.H) speeches. It aims at examining the applicability of one of the modern linguistic theories,namely rhetorical pragmatics, on Imam Ali's (P.B.U.H) speech. It is hypothesized that:(a)Imam Ali's (P.B.U.H) speeches serve as data of analysis for testing the applicability of Rhetorical Pragmatics, (b) he utilizes all types of metonymy to replace certain issues and actions, and (c) metonymy can breach pragmatic principles such as the cooperative principle so as to perform pragmatic functions.For the sake of analyzing the selected data, the study develops a model for finding out types of metonymy, pragmatic strategies and pragmatic functions.According to the analysis, a number of conclusions has been arrived at.All types of metonymy are used indata under scrutiny. The maxim of quality is the most prominent pragmatic strategy of metonymy. Besides, two functions are performed by these types of metonymy including affirmation and dispraise. Finally, the study proves that Imam Ali's (P.B.U.H) speeches are an important area of pragma-rhetorical data analyses.
John Barth's "Dunyazadiad": A Postmodern Reading of an Eastern Frame
Adab Al-Kufa,
2018, Volume 1, Issue 32, Pages 25-36
The frame-tale technique is one of the most ancient narrative techniques, its roots go back to the oral tradition. It refers to a set of embedded stories which are encircled by a larger framework, hence creating a hierarchical pattern of stories within stories,and highlighting the relation between the storyteller and the audience. The most famous example of the frame-tale is The Thousand Nights and One Nightin which Scheherazade, who represents the ideal storyteller narrates stories for the king Shahryar to save her life.
Most of postmodernist writers admired such stories and one of them is John Barth (1930- ), an American novelist whose fascination with the frame-tale tradition such as Decameron, The Canterbury Tales, and The Arabian Nights appears clearly in his novels. Barth recycles stories by using the idea of 'arranging literature', the stories that are recycled are taken from the Bible, The Arabian Nights (Barth's favorite frame-tale), and the heroic myths of the ancient Greek. He fully exploits the cultural relevance and perseverance when he chooses a text for his work. So, hepresentsthe frame-tale in a way that helps to develop the manner of narration, i.e. to lead narrative from exhaustion to replenishment. According to him, one can revive literature by returning to the past and the origin of fiction. This paper is an attempt to explore the structure of the frame-tale inBarth's novella "Dunyazadiad", the first story in his collection,Chimera.
