مشروع محمود محمد شاكر النقدي بين النظرية والموقف

Abstract

Modern and contemporary Arabic literary Criticism has witnessed a profound transformation due to it's openness to the west and its critical approaches, which led to a partial break from its past and heritage. This sparked widespread debate within literary critical circles devided between proponents and opponents of this shift. Amidst these changes, Mahmoud Mohammad shaker emerges as a critic, who strongly rejected these western critical approches and became one of their most notable opponents. He argues that they don't adequately serve the Arabic text because they differ completely from its Arab islamic origins. So, the real crisis is the crisis of the absence of methodology which is connected to the nation's language and identity. Mohmoud Mohammad shaker advocated for the necessity of returning to heritage, as a cognitive and methodological vessel capable of restoring an authentic critical awarness, proposing an alternative to these methodologies . It is represented by literary appreciation approach which delves into the depths of the text, comprehending its language and cultural identity emphasizing that the true comprehension of literarure is only possible through living the text and interacting with it.
