Abstract

Lucien Goldman is a theorist in the field of constructionism of the contemporary era, who has a comprehensive view of the sociological field of texts, and by relying on his approach, it is possible for the researcher to provide a sound analysis in the sociological field of the text. Egyptian writer Ahmed Al-Saeed has left remarkable works for depicting the countless problems, pains and social calamities that his motherland was suffering from. The present research has analyzed the constructionism of the novel "The Wounded Birds" according to Lucien Goldman's sociological perspective with a descriptive-analytical method, and the critical look in the present novel shows that the social situation of the society is tied to Lucien Goldman's sociological theory, since people play a central role in it. The results show that Ahmad al-Saeed explicitly examines the political, social, economic and other categories of society in order to connect his novel with society. The dimension of worldview includes all aspects of the social and political life of the people, and the author, in addition to depicting the lives of different classes, separates them and seeks to express the miseries caused by class differences in different groups of society, including women, and rebukes the aristocracy with a harsh language.

تحلیل سوسیولوجی لروایة "الطیور الجریحة" لأحمد سعید مراد من وجهة نظر لوسین جولدمان

Abstract [العربیة]

یعد لوسین جولدمان من منظری البنیویة وله رؤیة شاملة للسوسیولوجی أَو علم الإجتماع للنصوص، ومن خلال الاعتماد على منهجه یمکن للباحث أن یقدم تحلیلا سوسیولوجیا سلیما و دقیقاً للنصِّ. ولقد ترک الأدیب المصری أحمد سعید أعمالا رائعة لتصویر ما لا یحصى من المشاکل والآلام والمصائب الاجتماعیة التی کان قد عانی منها وطنه. وإن هذه الدراسة سلطت الضوء علی البنائیة فی روایة الطیور الجریحة من وجهة نظر لوسین جولدمان السوسیولوجیة بالمنهج الوصفی التحلیلی، وتبین النظرة النقدیة فی هذه الروایة أن الوضع الاجتماعی للمجتمع نظرًا لأن الناس یلعبون دورًا مرکزیّاً فیه مرتبط بنظریة لوسین جولدمن السوسیولوجیة. تظهر النتائج أن أحمد سعید، من أجل الربط بین روایته والمجتمع، یتناول بشکل صریح بنیَة السیاسة والاجتماع والاقتصاد وغیرها من القضایا المتعلقة بالمجتمع. یشمل بُعد الرؤیة العالمیة جمیع جوانب الحیاة الاجتماعیة والسیاسیة للشعب، ویفصل المؤلف، بالإضافة إلى تصویره لحیاة الطبقات المختلفة، ویسعى للتعبیر عن المآسی التی تسببها الاختلافات الطبقیة فی فئات المجتمع المختلفة، بما فی ذلک النساء، وقد یوجّه نقدًا حادًا للطبقة الأرستقراطیة وفی أغلب الأحیان بإیمان راسخ بالإسلام، قدمه کطریقة لإنقاذ البشریة والرؤیة العالمیة، بطل بروبلماتیک(مَجهول)، تجسید، وکیل عابر للشخصیة، لقد انعکست أحداث حزینة الطبقة البرولیتاریة على الطبقة الأرستقراطیة والبرجوازیة؛ وهو بارز فی هذه الروایة.
