ملخص البحث:النقد الأدبي علم حيّ ومتطور بتطور المجتمع والأفکار، وهو ذو صلة بالعلوم الإنسانية الأخری ولهذا له إفرازات عدّة، منها نظرية التناص التي لها مفاهيم قريبة في  النقد الأدبي العربي القديم؛ من إقتباس وسرقة أدبية وتضمين، إلاّ انّ التناص ممهد له ومقصود ولا يأتي عفو الخاطر. للتناص أنواع عدّة ومن أبرزها التناص القرآني الذي استخدمه  نجيب محفوظ في رواياته وقد کشفنا عنه في رواية (اللص والکلاب) محاولين إظهار أثر القرآن الكريم في هذه الرواية عبر التناص  الخارجي والداخلي، فيما يجول بخاطر الکاتب في روايته هذه، ونحاول کشف ماوراء هذا التناص القرآني من تلميحات وإشارات ورموز حتی نصل إلی المفاهيم الماورائية للتانص القرآني في هذه الرواية، ومن نتائج الدراسة أن نجيب محفوظ كان يهتم كثيرا بالدين والشخصية الدينية، وكثرة الرمز والتصوف في روايته وبروز القرآن الكريم في روايته.الكلمات المفتاحية: التناص القرآني- التناص الخارجي والداخلي- اللص والکلاب- نجيب محفوظ- التأثر.Abstract:Literary Criticism is living branch of knowledge that is developing with the progress of thought and society. It is related to other branches of human sciences and this is why it has various other off shoots of which is the theory of intertextuality with the concepts that are close to classical Arabic literary criticism such as adaptation, plagiarism and modulation. Intertextuality is something which is paved for and deliberate, thus it does not come about by the spontaneity of the impluses. There are different types of intertextuality of which the Quranic intertextuality is among the most stand out among these types. It has been used by Najīb Mahfūẓ in his novels. We have managed to uncover this aspect in his Al-Liṣṣ and Al-Kilāb novel by pointing out the influence of Quranic intertextuality in this particular novel through the internal and external intertextuality including what comes to the mind of the writer. We would also try to uncover the implied meanings, signs and symbols until we are able to arrive at the metaphysical concepts of Quranic intertextuality in this novel. The study concluded that Najīb Mahfūẓ was a writer who is concerned with religion and the religious personality in addition to his concerned in using symbols, Sufism and the Quran itself in his novel.Keywords: Quranic Intertextuality– External/Internal Intertextuality– Al-Liṣṣ and Al-Kilāb– Najīb Mahfūẓ– Influence. Abstrak: Kritikan sastera ialah cabang ilmu pengetahuan yang hidup dan membangun selari dengan kemajuan berfikir dan pembangunan masyarakat. Ia berkaitan dengan sains-sains kemanusiaan lain dan ini adalah mengapa ia mempunyai pengaruh dalam pelbagai bidang lain yang antaranya ialah teori intertekstualiti yang turut mempunyai konsep-konsep yang hampir dengan kupasan kritikan sastera Arab klasik seperti penyesuaian, plagiarisme dan modulasi. Intertekstualiti adalah sesuatu yang lahir dengan sengaja kerana ia tidak berlaku rentetan kespontanan tindak balas. Terdapat jenis-jenis intertekstualiti yang berbeza di mana ciri intertekstualiti dalam Al-Quran ialah antara yang paling menonjol di antara jenis-jenis ini. Ia telah turut digunakan oleh Najīb Mahfūẓ dalam novel-novelnya. Kami telah berjaya menemukan aspek ini dalam novelnya: Al-Liṣṣ and Al-Kilāb dengan menjelaskan pengaruh intertekstualiti Quran dalam novel tersebut melalui intertekstualiti yang berbentuk dalaman dan luaran termasuk juga apa terlintas bagi fikiran penulisnya. Kami juga telah berusaha untuk mendedahkan makna-makna yang tersirat, tanda-tanda dan juga simbol-simbol tertentu sehinggalah kami mampu sampai kepada konsep-konsep metafizikal intertekstualiti di dalam novel tersebut. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahawa Najīb Mahfūẓ merupakan seorang penulis yang mempunyai kesan keagamaan yang mendalalam dalam hasil kerjanya. Dia juga mempunyai personality yang cenderung kepada keagamaan sebagaimana yang terlihat dalam penggunaan simbol-simbol, aspek Sufisme dan Al-Quran itu sendiri sendiri di dalam novelnya.Kata kunci: Intertekstualiti Al-Quran– Luaran/Dalaman– Al-Liṣṣ and Al-Kilāb– Pengaruh.

The focus of this research work on selected descriptive of images refers to the analytic survey of metaphor and simile. They are selected, defined, explained and interpreted. Their significances in bringing about poetic diction, licence, meaning, message and themes are highlighted. They are fundamental figures of speech that implicitly and explicitly display the emotive value, connotative meaning, literariness and language skills. The poetic images reflect and represent real life situations through poetic skills and meanings. The literary criticism, comparative and textual analysis is evident when the objects are looked at from animate to inanimate and inanimate to animate. They serve as basic methodologies that are backing the theories and strategies on selected figures of speech. Imagery is the use of words that brings picture of the mind of the receiver or recipient and appeal to the senses. It is, however, manifested in various forms for resemblances, contrasts and comparisons. Artistic language through images revealed poetic views, assertion and facts.

Theory Of Literature

Chapter two discloses how Robinson’s in-depth study of William Godwin’s Political Justice prompted his first theory of literature, published in a mid-1795 article in Benjamin Flower’s radical Cambridge Intelligencer. According to this theory, Godwin’s necessitarian philosophy had succeeded in situating truth in the moral concerns that a poet raises. Where an author’s imagination proves compatible with the laws of necessity, literature may exert a direct didactic influence on the motives governing the mind, and thus promote disinterested benevolence. Godwinism qua ‘New Philosophy of Love’, it emerges further from Robinson’s hitherto unknown draft article ‘on novels’ (1798) that he intended for John Aikin’s radical Monthly Magazine but never submitted, pervades Robinson’s formal and informal literary criticism prior to his turn to Kant. Robinson’s Godwinian criticism already comprised comparative elements, discussing, for instance, novels by Godwin himself, Thomas Holcroft, Ann Radcliffe, Jonathan Swift, Voltaire, and Friedrich Maximilian Klinger, among many more.

The synthesis of consciousness and the latent life of the mind: Philosophy, psychopathology, and ‘cryptopsychism’ in fin-de-siècle France

The Mind

In fin-de-siècle France, we witness a strange circulation of concepts between philosophy, theoretical and experimental psychology, and the borderline realm of what we would now call meta- or parapsychology. This was a time characterized by a complex process of redefinition of the disciplinary frontiers between philosophy and psychology, which favoured the birth of hybrid conceptualities and stark oppositions as well. Furthermore, the great scientific advances in physics, physiology, and psychology fostered hope for a full rational explanation of reality, even of its most unfathomable layers and seemingly bizarre phenomena. Focusing on the case of Émile Boirac’s research on what he termed ‘cryptopsychism’, notably in his book Our Hidden Forces, this article aims to show how Kantian notions and models of consciousness belonging to the canon of French spiritualist philosophical psychology were taken up by scientists such as Pierre Janet and ended up being assimilated and discussed in the more obscure and precarious realm of scientific inquiry into metapsychical phenomena. Far from being a mere historical curiosity, this quest for a scientific account of the latent and subconscious life of the mind sheds light on the intricate relationship between philosophy and the human sciences between the 19th and 20th centuries.

The Mind

In the last two decades, mirroring systems have been detected in the monkey and in the human brain. The mirroring mechanisms have been considered as the neural basis for social cognition and interpersonal reactivity, and they have been assumed to support imitation, sharing of emotional states and empathy. Here I would like to compare ‘mirroring phenomena’ to ‘symmetrization phenomena’. In psychoanalytic literature, the construct of symmetrization has been proposed in the context of the Bi-Logic theory by Matte Blanco in 1975, on the basis of clinical evidence obtained in the psychoanalytical setting and following a theoretical analysis derived from the Freudian distinction between Primary and Secondary Processes. I will consider two different types of behaviours, empathic social interactions and the creation of transitional objects and spaces as defined by Winnicott in order to argue that symmetrization, in Matte Blanco’s terms, cannot be reduced to mirroring. I will then sketch a hypothesis on the interplay between the symmetric aspects of the mind and external reality in the development of higher relational functions of humans, also taking playing, arts and creativity into account. Finally I will describe the paradigmatic shift in neuro-imaging studies that was introduced with the discovery of the ‘Default Mode Network’ and its potential relevance in the research on the symmetric and asymmetric aspects of the human mind.

This chapter introduces the concept of reference, the process by which linguistic expressions apply to/pick out entities (in the world/the mind), roughly speaking their meaning or intended interpretation. It provides an overview of approaches to reference in the linguistic and philosophical literature. It then outlines the structure and content of the two parts of the volume: I. Foundations and II. Applications and Implications. Part I covers foundational topics such as different types of referring expression and their interpretation, and Part II covers the acquisition and processing of reference from the perspectives of psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and computational linguistics, including robotics.

The Way

Why do we say ON Thursday but AT 10 o'clock? Or why do we say AT night but IN the morning? One common answer to such questions is to dismiss the problem: this is the way we speak because this is the way to speak; it is all arbitrary, conventional, idiosyncratic. It is argued that such answers are unilluminating and unsatisfactory. Prepositions such as ON, AT, or IN have their meanings, and the choice between them is motivated by these meanings. There are also certain conventions of use based on cultural expectations; the meanings and the cultural expectations interact and their interaction produces results whose "logic" may be difficult to detect — especially if one looks in the wrong direction, that is, that of "truth conditions" regarding external situations. In fact, however, the problem is not insoluble, and if it is approached with the understanding that meaning is all in the mind and that it is a matter of conceptualizations rather than "truth conditions", the hidden "logic " behind the choice of prepositions for temporal adverbials can be explained. The paper argues, and tries to demonstrate, that the prepositions AT, IN, and ON mean different things, and that the patterns of their use in different types of temporal phrases are determined by their meanings.

Classical Arabic

Abstract Evidence of collaborative composition of poetry goes back to the earliest documented phases in the history of Arabic literature. Already during pre-Islamic times, poets like Imruʾ al-Qays used to challenge others to complete their impromptu verse and create poetry collaboratively with them. This practice—commonly called iǧāza or tamlīṭ and essentially different from the better known poetic dueling of the naqāʾiḍ (flytings)—has shown remarkable stability and adherence to its form and dynamics in the pre-modern Arabophone world. In this article, I will discuss evidence of collaborative poetry from pre-Islamic times to the early seventh/thirteenth century, in order to present a picture of the typical situations in which it was practiced, its functions, its composition process, and formal aspects. Although usually not producing poetic masterpieces, this practice has the merit of revealing much about the processes of composing classical Arabic poetry in general. In this respect, its study and critical assessment are highly important, given the fact that medieval Arabic literary criticism does not always reflect praxis or focus on the actual practicalities of composing poetry. This practice and the contextualized way in which it was preserved allow us to see vividly the inextricable link between poetic form and the conditions in which poetry was created. It likewise sheds light on the intricate ways in which poets resisted, influenced, and manipulated others by poetic means. Based on the obvious fact that collaborative composition is imbued with the spirit of play, I offer at the end of the article criticism of Johan Huizinga’s famous play concept and his (much less famous) views of early Arabic culture and poetry in light of the evidence I studied.

ABSTRACTIn his Magazin der Musik, Carl Friedrich Cramer reported that C. P. E. Bach's Fantasia in A major, h278 (1782), was composed during the agonies of gout. Tapping into a reported epidemic of this patrician malady among men of letters, Cramer's anecdote invoked rich associations of sequestered suffering, withdrawal from public life, the pleasures of the table, genius, sexual (im)potency and humour. Reflecting contemporary nerve-based theories of sensation, Cramer aligned different types of physical and mental pain with specific musical gestures. In so doing, he did more than indulge his hermeneutic imagination: he suggested a connection between Bach's solo keyboard music and the experience of embodiment. The seemingly abstract gestures of improvisation were linked dialectically to the corporeal. Behind the specifics of Cramer's reading is a conviction that this kind of music ‘knows’ about the body, as well as the mind, and that it moves between gestures suggestive of thinking, speaking, feeling and corporeal sensation. Analysis of the fantasia, and Bach's letters, supports Cramer's reading.

This article is part of a more thorough study of the phenomenon of "picto-poetry" on the materials of the collection of Paul Eluard and Man Ray "Les Mains libres". Surrealism as an avant-garde trend does not accidentally attract the attention of modern Ukrainian and foreign scholars, because it is precisely this personification of the crisis of society and art in general, which is characteristic of transitional eras. The science has well researched the history of this trend, its philosophy, the specifics of creativity. The "white spot" remains what could be called the "morphology" of surreal poetry, that is, the system of its genres. This article is a contribution to the development of a system of surrealistic genres, in particular, a contribution to the development of the phenomenon of "picto-poetry", which has hardly been studied in modern literary criticism. As it is known, it was precisely in such revolutionary times, when society was undergoing a revolution in all spheres of life, that there is a tendency to mix not only different genres, but also types of art. Intermediality is a practical embodiment of the synthesis of arts in one work and is considered as a one of the integral features of the aesthetics of the avant-garde, and especially – of surrealism. This study shows how the main features of intermediality are expressed in the visual poetry of the surrealists, Paul Eluard in particular, on the example of the collection "Free Hands". In addition, an analysis of one of the collection’s duopoem proves that his poetry is rich in a kind of associativity, imagery at the linguistic level, the interpenetration of borders, its poetics is supplemented by the use of graphic art tools, elements of curly verse as part of “picto-poetry”. The creative exploitation of the resources of the unconscious as the main artistic method allows authors to ignore the boundaries between different types of art. Working in various fields, artists organically continue and deepen each other's works: there is a kind of intrusion of one artistic speech into another.
