This paper attempts to apply Gerard Genette's model of hypertextuality to Najīb Ma[image omitted]fu[image omitted]'s Mal[image omitted]amat al-[image omitted]arafīsh in order to demonstrate the problem of employing theories of literature developed in the West to the Arabic novel. The paper begins with a brief outline of the principal terms of Genette's hypertextuality before examining how Arab popular narrative and religious myth are used in Mal[image omitted]amat al-[image omitted]arafīsh. By reworking some of the principles of sīra into a modern literary context, Ma[image omitted]fu[image omitted] produces a more indigenous style of novel, which exploits the romantic vision of sīra and Islamic legend to convey themes relating to man's social and existential problems. Genette's theory fails to account properly for the genre transformation effected in [image omitted]arafīsh and for the intertextual relationships Ma[image omitted]fu[image omitted] sets up to confirm certain themes and messages. The conclusion is therefore that, like other theories of literature developed with the western canon in mind, Genette's model cannot be applied to the Arabic novel without modification. |
