الأنساق الثقافية في رواية - مَنَّا قيامة شتات الصحراء - للصديق حاج أحمد الزيواني

Abstract

This study explores the cultural patterns embedded in the novel From the Resurrection of Desert Diaspora by Seddik Hadj Ahmed Ziwani, aiming to reveal the implicit cultural structures and their manifestations within the narrative discourse. The research adopts a structured methodology consisting of an introduction and two chapters. The introduction defines the concept of cultural patterns and examines the characteristics and themes of desert literature. The theoretical chapter traces the development of cultural criticism in both Western and Arab contexts, discussing the duality of explicit and hidden patterns, the philosophy of desert space, the semiotics of nomadism, and the influence of narrative heritage on shaping the image of the desert. The practical section analyzes the mechanisms of cultural patterns in the novel, focusing on diaspora as a psychological, cultural, and social construct, while also examining memory and resistance as central elements in Ziwani’s narrative imagination. The study concludes that the novel successfully conveys profound cultural patterns reflecting the existential identity of humanity within the desert environment.
